Saturn doesn't really have months like we do on Earth. Our month is based on the amount of time it takes the moon to orbit. Saturn has over 60 moons, so they don't really have any one reference to base a month on.

The "month" is purely a human invention. The "day" and the "year" are both marked

by natural processes ... the "day" is linked to light and dark, and the "year" is linked

to the cycle of the seasons. In ancient times, the month was intended to be linked to

the cycle of the moon's phases, but it got disconnected from the moon, and we don't

worry about that at all anymore. The month is just something we keep on the calendar

and is no longer connected to any natural occurrence. Our months don't even have the

same lengths.

Since Saturn rotates on its axis and orbits the sun, you might say that it has a

natural day and a natural year. But there's no reason to expect that it has a

month. Even if you wanted to use moon phases to define months, that would

be a real problem, since in Saturn's case, we have already discovered more than

sixty moons, all with different periods.

A month on Saturn is equal to about 29.5 Earth years, so it doesn't have a fixed number of days like we do on Earth.
