If light takes 8 minutes to reach Earth from the sun and 1.3 hours to reach Saturn what is the distance from the sun to Saturn?
1 hour = 3,600 seconds
Speed of light = 186,282 miles per second
Time to Saturn = 1.3 hours = (1.3 x 3,600) = 4,680 seconds
Distance = (speed) x (time) = (186,282 x 4,680) = 871,799,760 miles
My almanac lists Saturn's average distance from the sun as 890.8 million miles.
These numbers are only about 2% different; so your figure of 1.3 hours is good, and my math is OK.

What two planets have shortest earth day?
The planets with the shortest days are Jupiter (9 hours and 55 minutes) and Saturn (10 hours and 30 minutes.)
Why is a day longer on earth than Saturn?
A "Day" relates to the rotation of the planet. The giant Saturn spins around, or rotates, once every 10 hours and 45 minutes. So it's "Day" is only 10 hours 45 minutes (earth hours) long. Whereas Earth spins slower so its day is longer.
Does Earth rotate quicker than Saturn?
Yes. Saturn rotates extremely quickly, completing one rotation in almost ten hours.
How long does it take a radio wave to travel to Saturn from earth?
Using the formula speed = distance/time and that Saturn from earth is 821,190,000 miles and the speed of light 186,000miles per second. Then rearrange the formula for time we find the answer is 4415 seconds or 73.58 minutes or 1.226 hours
