According to a report by Digital Trends, scientists have solved the long-lingering question of how long is a day on Saturn.
据“Digital Trends”报道，科学家们已经解决了土星上一天有多长这一悬而未决的问题。
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.
据报道，这个数字很难计算，由于这颗气体巨行星没有固体表面，因此无法在行星旋转时被追踪到。
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，利用卡西尼号飞船的数据，美国宇航局的科学家们成功确定了土星上一天时长为10小时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.
新确定的白昼长度略短于先前的估计，旅行者号太空探测器在1981年的磁场数据估计为10小时39分22秒。
