I think that it is Saturn, regardless of it being the 2nd largest planet in our solar system, it has a density of 0.678 grams per cubic centimeters, which is less than the density of water ( density ≃ 1 gram per cubic centimeters).

Is Jupiter less dense than water?
No, the only planet in the solar system less dense than water is Saturn.
Is the earth moon less dense than mercury?
Density of our Moon: 3.346 (g/cm3). Density of planet Mercury: 5.427 (g/cm3). So, yes, it is less dense.
Which planets in the solar system are less dense than water?
jupiter, uranus
How do Jupiter's density and period of rotation compare to Earth's?
Jupiter is less dense and has a shorter period of rotation.
Would water or liquid mercury float?
Water floats when it is turned into ice, because in this form it is less dense (it crystallizes, and the structure expands). It also can float in combinations of liquids, for example, it is less dense than liquid mercury, but more dense than oil, so it would 'float' on the mercury. Liquid mercury is very dense, and doesn't usually float on things.
Does liquid Mercury float in water?
No. Mercury is 12.5 times heavier than water. It goes straight to the bottom with no hesitation.
What is least dense cork or lead?
Cork is less dense than water because it floats. Both glass and Mercury (a metal) are denser than water.
What liquid is LESS dense than wood?
Ice! Some wood is also less dense than water. Styrofoam and some plastics are also less dense than water. There is an EXTREMELY simple experiment to test for this. Any object that floats when placed in water is less dense than the water it is in.And of course sperm.
Why iron nail floats on mercury but sinks on water.?
Iron has a higher density than water, so it sinks in water; but is less dense than mercury so it floats.
In space where would you find Ganymede?
As a moon of Jupiter, Ganymede would be found in space revolving around Jupiter. Ganymede is the largest of the moons of Jupiter, with a diameter greater than the planet Mercury (but it is much less dense). It is the largest moon in the solar system.
How can be Mercury's average density be 5.4 times that of water?
Earth has an even greater density than Mercury. Presumably, planets a core of dense materials (for example, the density of iron is 8 times that of water), which compensates a lighter (less dense) crust.
Does ice floats in Mercury?
Yes. Ice floats in water because it is less dense. Mercury is over ten times denser than water. So ice easily floats in mercury.
