Why is Saturn the only planet that can float?
Saturn is a gas giant planet, with a less-dense core than some other planets. The planet's overall density, is less than the density of water. Hence the quite correct old saying in astronomy" "If you could find a lake big enough to put it in, Saturn would float".
Is Saturn a molten giant planet or a gas giant planet?
Saturn is a gas giant planet
What is earth a terrestrial planet or a gas giant?
A terrestrial planet, Gas giant planets are made of gas....
Is the sun a gas giant or an rocky planet?

Which planetis so light that it could float in water?
A planet's weight does not determine whether it can float in water. It's density is what determines that. Your question should be "Which planet's density is so small that it could float in water?"
Why is it that this giant planet could float in water?
Saturn could float in water, because it has a density of 0.7 that of water. That is, however, a theoretical construct, because you would need an enormous pool of water, with a gravitational field much larger than anything we have, in order to achieve that state.
Can Neptune become a dwarf planet?
No. Neptune is a gas giant planet. There is no way it could be reclassified as a dwarf planet.
Is Saturn a molten giant planet or a gas giant planet?
Saturn is a gas giant planet
What planet would float if dropped in the sun?
None of them. If any planet were to crash into the Sun, the planet would be instantly vaporized.You may be thinking of the planet Saturn, which is so light that if it could be placed in a big enough bathtub, would float.
What planet has a density so low tat it could float on water?
Saturn
What planet would float if you could find an ocean big enough?
Saturn
Which gas giant could float on water?
Saturn, because it has a lower density than water.
Is Venus a Terrestrial planet or a Gas Giant?
While Venus does have clouds of sulfuric acid it has a solid surface and in theory could be landed upon. In short it is a terrestrial planet.
