What would happen if you dropped Saturn in a big ocean of water?

It would be submerged in water.

∙ 9y agoTheoretically, the planet Saturn would float when placed in water because it has an average density that is less than the density of water. On the other hand, there is probably not enough water in the solar system to permit the experiment to be performed.
If you choose not to consider the planet as a whole, the atmosphere would float on the water but the rocky core would sink like a stone.

∙ 11y agoSince Saturn has a mean density of 0.687 g/cm3, less than that of water, it is nice to think that it would float in water. While that is (sort of) true, you also have to consider that Saturn is much colder than the freezing point of water, so it would freeze whatever water it was placed in. Also, Saturn's core is much denser than water, so one would also have to consider what happens when the atmosphere of Saturn is boiled away by the temperature of the water. In the final analysis, it is moot, because the volume of water required to attempt to float Saturn would exceed the volume of Jupiter, and we just don't have that much water available.

If you had a big enough Ocean could Saturn float in it?
Saturn is not very dense... or solid. It is a giant ball of gas. Water is more dense that Saturn, therefore, Saturn would float on water. ________________ More specifically, the density of Saturn is 0.69, where water is 1.0. So if Saturn were a solid (which it is not), it would float. Saturn is by far the least dense of all the planets; even Uranus at 1.32 and Jupiter at 1.33 are more dense than water is. Earth is the MOST dense planet at 5.52, edging out Mercury at 5.43 and Venus at 5.24 in average density.
Can tornadoes happen in the ocean?
Yes. A tornado on water is called a waterspout.
What planetcan float in water?
That would be Saturn, since it lacks in density it would be light enough to float in an ocean big enough for it.
How is jupitermoon ganymede bigger than Saturn moon titan?
Why scientists believe a liquid water ocean might exist on the moon
What would happen to water and salt when left in warm place?
nothing-look at the ocean.
Does saturn have an ocean on it?
No, there is no water on Saturn.
What will happen to lead when it is dropped into water?
It will sink
Would you weigh less standing on Saturn?
Saturn is the lighest of all of the plantes for it's size. If you were to stand on it's surface, you would weigh less than standing on Earth's surface. If you dropped Saturn into an ocean the size of space, then it would float because it is less dense than the water.
What will happen to a solid object with a greater density than water when it is dropped into water?
It will sink.

Does water move or circulate between fresh water and salt water?
Yes; rivers run into the ocean at places called Estuaries. What evaporates from the ocean, and is dropped as freshwater in raindrops.
What could happen to Saturn if it were placed in water?
Dk prolly melt lol
What will happen to a solid object made from matter with a greater density than water when it is dropped in water?
It will sink.
What will happen to a solid object made from matter with a greater density than water when is it dropped into water?
It will sink.
What would happen if you put a fresh water fish in the ocean?
Explain what would happen if a piece of seaweed from the ocean was placed in a fresh water aquarium?
In 2001 Russia's Mir Space Station dropped down into what body of water?
Pacific Ocean
What will happen to a solid object made from matter with a greater density that water when it is dropped into water?
It will sink when the object is placed in water.
