The diameter of Saturn is almost ten times that of Earth yet its density is much less This can best be explained by the fact that Saturn?

Saturn is made completely out of gas (Such as nitrogen and methane) except for its mall rocky core and its rings. Earth is a denser, solid rock planet.

Why is Saturn almost as big as Jupiter, despite its smaller mass?
Jupiter's greater mass compresses it more, thus increasing its density.
What planet has the largest ring?
The biggest planet in our solar system that has rings is Jupiter. If the diameters of the rings are being compared, Jupiter's rings have the largest diameter in our solar system, at almost twice that of Saturn's.
Why is Saturn almost as big as Jupiter despite its smaller mass?
According to Mastering Astronomy, Jupiter is bigger because it's mass is compressed more, thus increasing its density.
Can Saturn float on water?
well of course not. Saturn is the second largest planet so the gravitational pull will be too much even on Jupiter has the most gravity so u'd be much more heavier on Jupiter, Saturn, uranus and neptune
What is the diameter of Mercury pole to pole?
Mercury is almost a perfect sphere - with a diameter of 4879.42 ± 1.0 km

Why are Saturn's rings made of?
The rings of Saturn are made almost entirely of water ice.
Does Saturn have any gases?
Yes. Saturn is made almost entirely of hydrogen and helium.
The shape of Saturn?
round or almost round
What is the description Of Saturn's surface?
The planet Saturn does not have a solid surface. Saturn is almost entirely made up of gases, hydrogen and helium.
'what does density have to do with the ability to float?
the ability to float with density is almost impossible
Is saturns atmosphere thick?
The mean density of Saturn is 0.687 g/cm³ For comparison, the density of water is about 0.970 g/cm³. This means if you could find a bath big enough, Saturn would float in water.
Is Saturn's satellite Titan Saturn's only satellite?
No. Titan is the largest satellite of Saturn, but there are 52 others, with more almost certainly waiting to be discovered.

How10 ways the sun and the are moon different?
Diameter; surface area; volume; density; mass; temperature; brightness; distance from Earth; chemical composition... almost any characteristic you can think of, there will be fairly large differences.
