What is Pandora’s approximate orbital period around Saturn?

Pandora’s approximate orbital period around Saturn is about 15 hours.

Pandora circles Saturn once in roughly 15 hours, completing its orbit just outside the planet’s F ring. Its rapid revolution reflects its close distance to Saturn: moons nearer a planet generally orbit more quickly than moons farther away.

Pandora is one of the small shepherd satellites associated with the F ring. Its gravitational interaction with the ring and with the neighboring moon Prometheus helps maintain the ring’s narrow, structured appearance, although the exact dynamics are complex and change over time.

The figure is an orbital period, not a rotation period or a Saturn day. Small moons can also have irregular shapes and low gravity, but Pandora’s orbital timing is determined mainly by its distance from Saturn and the planet’s mass. Spacecraft observations have refined knowledge of its orbit and physical properties.
