okay, you need a hint..(i forgot there are 'scientists' in these groups who need help)

Day;
the time between sunrise and sunset

Just like on Earth, it depends on whether you are located at the equator or at one of the poles.

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.

https://www.google.com/search?q=define++++day&cad=h


I had no idea 'your people' haven't yet figured out what a ..."Day" is
yet.



I guess asking, How Long Does a Day Last on Saturn? is too tough a
question to ask...scientist.


Is Day a theory?

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
astronomy :  the period of rotation of a planet (such as earth) or a moon on its axis the length of one day on Mars
3
:  the mean solar day of 24 hours beginning at midnight by mean time open seven days a week the first day of every month : Take one pill two times a day.
 
> https://www.google.com/search?q=define++++day&cad=h

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

day
dā/Submit
noun
1.
a period of twenty-four hours as a unit of time, reckoned from one midnight to the next, corresponding to a rotation of the earth on its axis.
synonyms:	a twenty-four-hour period, twenty-four hours
"I stayed for a day"

Funny how *your* links don't say what you claim they say. Did you really think that no one would actually look them up?

What is clear is that *you* don't know what a day is...

If you actually read these links...

https://www.universetoday.com/24164/rotation-of-saturn/

http://www.popsci.com/we-finally-know-how-long-day-lasts-saturn

https://www.space.com/28928-saturn-day-length-spin-measured.html

... you will learn that your question is actually quite complicated. If you choose not to read them, well, you can just remain ignorant about it.

Nothing wrong with learning something you didn't know before, is there?

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

Day | Definition of Day by Merriam-Webster
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/day
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.

okay, it looks like nobody knows how long is a day on Saturn...



it also appears know one knows what a Day is....



Is there *anything* that Yous do know????


Just name ONE thing that you Do know!



and you want a billion dollars to tells us what you Thought is not what you Thought.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, all I know is that I'm clicking on the link that YOU are providing, and it does NOT say what you claim it is saying. If fact, *your* definition, above, clearly also says "A day on earth lasts 24 hours". In any case, a vast majority of sources show that a 'day' is defined as a full rotation with respect to the Sun, in the case of solar system objects.

If you want to talk about the number of daylight hours, just say so... but I have already explained that this is just folly, because the answer depends almost entirely on a particular latitude... and is therefore essentially worthless...
