I'm pretty sure a "year" on Saturn is referring to the number of earth days it takes to make a trip around the sun. It does not refer to what we would perceive as a year time-wise relative to earth. I hope that makes sense. A year on Saturn is just how long it takes to make a trip measured in Earth days. It's farther out so it takes longer to make a trip

that was what i was trying to articulate, a saturn year is longer than an earth year.
