Given :
Time taken by Saturn to complete full rotation = 10 hours 39 minutes 24 seconds
we know, 1 hour = 60 minutes
and, 1 minute = 60 seconds
(10 hours 39 minutes) + (24 seconds) = (10 * 60 + 39) minutes + (24/60) minutes
= 639.4 minutes
Thus, it takes Saturn 639.4 minutes to complete full rotation .
