Saturn’s rotation is 10 hours and 40 minutes.  Because Saturn spins so rapidly, its poles squeeze the planet, making the planet wider at its equator.  Saturn has the second largest equatorial diameter with 74,977 miles (86,973 km).  Saturn’s axis slant is at a 26.7° angle.

   Saturn’s revolution around the Sun takes 29.46 Earth years to complete.
