SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Jupiter has the shortest day in the solar system. One day on Jupiter takes only about 10 hours (the time it takes for Jupiter to rotate or spin around once), and Jupiter makes a complete orbit around the Sun (a year in Jovian time) in about 12 Earth years (4, 333 Earth days).

Detailed explanation-2: -Saturn spins on its axis like the Earth, so it has day and night. It has the second shortest day of the 8 planets. One day on Saturn is about 10 and a half hours! Much shorter than Earth’s 24 hours.

Detailed explanation-3: -A Day On Jupiter: Given the fact that it is the largest planet in the Solar System, one would expect that a day on Jupiter would last a long time. But as it turns out, a Jovian day is officially only 9 hours, 55 minutes and 30 seconds long, which means a single day is just over a third the length of an Earth day.

Detailed explanation-4: -Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune all have days that are shorter than Earth’s. Uranus’s is the longest at 17 hours. Jupiter’s is the shortest at just under 10.
