Kirsty is right… It takes so long as it is much further from the Sun that we are. Have a look at this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3dkuQ-dLow of a couple of guys making a scale model of the Solar System in the Nevada desert.

As with all the other space questions, Kirsty has it spot on! Especially with the “about” because the distances involved mean that there is some margin of error

Kirsty’s got it! But even though a year (full orbit around the sun) on Saturn is nearly 30 times longer than an Earth year, a day (full rotation) is much shorter. A Saturnian day is not quite 11 Earth-hours long!
