It depends what is the position of earth and saturn. Distance from earth to saturn varies depending on whether earth is between sun and saturn or sun is between earth and saturn. Obviously, the shortest distance will be if earth is between sun and saturn. we will take that the distance between earth and saturn is:

s = 1 275 000 000 km
The time required to travel that distance is:
t = s/v = 45535 hours or 1897.3 days

Molodets [167]

If the resistance of the Air is ignored, we can use the theory given by Galileo in which he warned that the thermal velocity of a body in free fall was given by

v= \frac{1}{2}gt

Where

g = Gravitational acceleration

t = time

As we can see the speed of objects in free fall is indifferent to the position that is launched (as long as the resistance of the air is ignored) or its mass.

Both bodies will end with the same thermal speed.
