Well now, *you* are changing the definition of a day. From here....

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/day

... we find the following;

"astronomy: the period of rotation of a planet (such as earth) or a moon on its axis"

Talking about the amount of time between sunrise and sunset is pretty much worthless for either a planet or a moon. This is because it depends on what latitude you are referencing. The amount of 'daytime' at the equator of a body is very different than the amount of 'daytime' at the pole, especially if the body's axial inclination is much greater than zero, and almost all known bodies in the solar system have inclinations substantially different than zero.

A much more realistic question would be "what is the rotational period of Saturn?", and I have already supplied a link that explains that in some detail.




I didn't change the definition: It reads number 1: the time between
sunrise and sunset

Day | Definition of Day by Merriam-Webster
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/day
1 : the time between sunrise and sunset : daylight.

Well, when I go to this link, *your* link, I find this...

Definition of day
1
a : the time of light between one night and the next : the shortest day of the year
b : 'daylight' 1 woke up at the break of day
c : 'daytime' sleeps during the day and works at night
2

Well, that's funny, when I go to this link, the one *you* supplied, I find THIS;

You need to look at the first one containing a link: by Merriam-Webster , not Google's insert of their own search engine.

1 : the time between sunrise and sunset : daylight. 2 : the time a planet or moon takes to make one turn on its axis A day on earth lasts 24 hours..
