Well. The Saturn is 1.2 billion kilometres from the Earth. If you travel at the speed of light, which is approximately 300,000 km per second, you will need 66 minutes to reach the Saturn !
And mankind has not yet discovered a vehicle that could run at the speed of the light.

Today it takes (8.83300 Astronomical Units) / the speed of light = 1.22436474 hours = 1 hour 13 minutes 27.713064 seconds.

I just divided the distance by the speed of light

A) Light travels at 300,000km/sec
B) Saturn is 1.35 billion (i.e. 10^9) km away from the sun.
Divide B by A.
I had 4 seconds up here but that's not obviously not true haha.
