The density of something is how much material there is in a given space. It is sort of like "thickness".
A very dense material will be heavy even in small amounts.
Water, for example, is denser than air. This is why it is more difficult to move through water than it is through air. Air particles are spaced further apart from each other than water particles.
A solid, such as stone, is denser than water, so dense that is impossible to move through.
Saturn's average density is less than that of water. This is because Saturn is mostly gas.

How does Saturn float in water if its so heavy?
Yes, Saturn's mean density is only 70% of that of water.
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.
Is water more dense at 100 degrees Celsius?
More dense than what? I presume you mean is it more dense at that temperature than at lower temperatures. The answer is no, it gets denser at lower temperatures, all the way down to 4 degrees centigrade. Then it gets less dense again.
What kind of substance will float in oil?
Assuming you mean the usual sort of "oil", there is nothing that is both less dense than oil and more dense than water.You have effectively asked the buoyancy equivalent of "what number is bigger than 3 but smaller than 2".Oil is less dense than water so nothing can float in oil but sink in water. If it floats in oil it would have to be less dense than oil so therefore, it will float in water.
What planet would actually float in water?
Saturn.It has a mean density of 0.687 g/cm3 which is less than water.

How dense is Saturn?
Saturn is the least dense of all the Planets. It has been said that if you could find a large enough bath - and water, Saturn would float. This is because Saturn's mean density is lower than water at 0.687 g/cm³

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.
What does it mean to say ice is less dense than water?
It means that one cubic centimetre of ice weighs less than 1 cubic centimetre of water.
What does dense atmosphere mean?
Thick air. Planets like Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus have a very dense atmosphere.
Does less water in the ocean mean it's less dense?

Why is coconut oil less dense than water though it is thicker than water?
Just because something is thicker than something does not mean it is more dense. Coconut oil may be more viscous than water, but it is less dense. Perhaps because of the strong hydrogen bonding in water, more mass is able to be packed per unit volume than in coconut oil.

How do things float?
things float because they are less denser then the water. second things do not float, the molecules from the water support the molecules from the thing on the water. that is how something heavy can float. it just has to be boyent meaning it is spread out enough so there is more water molecules to hold it up. if you mean in the air it is the same concept.
When measuring density what does a steeper line on your graph mean?
it is less dense
