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).
The Smallest planet is Mercury (but it is the second most dense planet after Earth).
The least dense planet is Saturn.
This planet is Saturn.

The planet Saturn is one of many gas giants in our solar system.
The four gas giants are thought to have small, dense cores of metal and rock, but consist mainly of liquid hydrogen and helium.
No,Jupiter is not the only gas planet, Saturn is a gas planet aswell.
Gas Giants have mostly Hydrogen gas which is the lightest element, so in fact gas giants are in overall density the lightest of all the planets. Jupiter is 318 times the mass of the whole Earth, and roughly 99% of that mass is Hydrogen. At their cores they may be very dense because of great pressure, but it is still mostly Hydrogen and not as dense as a rocky planet. Gas Giant densities may be very different from each other because along with the Hydrogen they may have more Helium or a larger core of ice and/or rock. Neptune's overall density is 1.638 g/cm³ - 30% as dense as Earth Jupiter's overall density is 1.326 g/cm³ - 24% as dense as Earth Uranus's overall density is 1.27 g/cm³ - 23% as dense as Earth Saturn's overall density is 0.687 g/cm³ - 12% as dense as Earth Earth's overall density is 5.515 g/cm3

Not at all. Mars is the least dense of the rocky planets. Earth is the densest planet in the Solar System because of its large iron core. Mercury and Venus are only slightly less dense.All of the Gas giants are much less dense than the rocky planets. The least dense, Saturn, is actually less dense than water. (All of the gas giants have a much greater mass than the rocky planets but density is mass divided by volume)
They are all dense and rocky. The gas giants are made of gas and are big. ps. pluto is not a plnet anymore!! ^_^
Hydrogen is the least dense gas.
The phrase "least dense planet" refers simply to the planet with the lowest density, which is the planet's mass divided by its volume. In our solar system, Saturn is the least dense planet with a density of roughly 0.7 (water, by comparison, has a density of 1, or 1 gram per cubic centimeter). This is attributed to its large outer envelope of gas - although it is thought to have a denser rocky core.
Gas Giants.
Venus has a very dense atmosphere, which helps burn up many meteors it pulls in. This lets the planet have many less craters than others. Additionally, the gas giants don't have any known craters, since they are made of mostly gas.
because It is composed mostly of hydrogen and helium

'Least' is a comparison word. Compared to iron and lead yes cotton is least dense. Compares to oxygen gas and hydrogen gas, no it is not least dense.
Gas planets are least dense.
