According to a report by Digital Trends, scientists have solved the long-lingering question of how long is a day on Saturn.
據“Digital Trends”報道,科學家們已經解決了土星上一天有多長這一懸而未決的問題。
This number was reportedly hard to calculate as the gas giant does not have a solid surface that can be tracked as the planet rotates.
據報道,這個數字很難計算,由于這顆氣體巨行星沒有固體表面,因此無法在行星旋轉時被追蹤到。

However, using data from the Cassini spacecraft, NASA scientists have managed to determine that a day on Saturn lasts ten hours, 33 minutes, and 38 seconds.
然而,利用卡西尼號飛船的數據,美國宇航局的科學家們成功確定了土星上一天時長為10小時33分38秒。
The newly determined day length is just slightly shorter than previous estimates, such as the 10:39:22 estimation based on 1981 magnetic field data from the Voyager space probe.
新確定的白晝長度略短于先前的估計,旅行者號太空探測器在1981年的磁場數據估計為10小時39分22秒。
