How can a planet as big as Saturn have a density less than water?

Density is mass divided by volume. Saturn has a big mass AND a big volume. In this case the effect if the big volume is enough to "beat " the effect of the big mass and Saturn's density is less than water.

Planet with density less than water?
Saturn.
Which planet has the lowest average density?
Saturn:)Saturn is the least dense of the gas giants, even out of all of the planets in our solar system. Its average density is around 0.7 g/cc (less than water)
What is the planet with an average density less then the density of water?
Saturn would float in water if you could find a big enough tub and the water to fill it.
What planet has a denisity less than water?
Saturn, with a density of 0.7 kg cm-3
What planet's density is so low?
All the gas giants; in our Solar System, Saturn has the lowest density (less than the density of water).
Which planets in the solar system have an average density less than that of water?
It is said that if you could find an ocean on Earth large enough to accommodate it, Saturn would float. That is, Saturn's average density is less than the density of water. Turns out it's the only planet with an average density less than 1.000, that is, less than the density of water.
What planet has a density less than one?
Saturn
What planet has density less than 1.0?
Saturn
What planet that a lower density than the density of water that causes it to float?
The density of Saturn is less than the density of water on Earth. But you'll never see Saturn float, because that would require a really gigantic pool.
What is mean density on Saturn?
The density of Saturn is less than the density of water, about 70% of water's density in fact.
What planet has density less than water?
Saturn. It has been said that if you could find enough water and a large enough bath, Saturn would float in it.Note: Jupiter is not the correct answer:Any object whose density is less than water will float in water.Density of Water: 1 g/cm3Density of Saturn: 0.687 g/cm3Density of Jupiter: 1.326 g/cm3
Does Saturn have less density than water?
Yes Saturn has less density than water. Thus if you could put Saturn in a large pool of water, it will float.
