Saturn. Obviously it's not a very practical idea, but Saturn is less dense than water.

Is planet Saturn the only planet that will float on water?
Yes, conditionally . If you had a big enough body of water held in a container by gravity it would. Although most of it would immediately deform from a sphere into layers on top of the water . This is possible because Saturn is mostly made up of gas that is less dense (less mass per unit of volume) than water. The problem would be finding a solid planet big enough to put the water on.
Is Saturn more dence then earth?
Definitely not. Saturn is the only planet that would float on water. (If you could find a swimming pool that size)
What is an fun fact about Saturn?
That Saturn's density is so low that it would float on water (if a big enough body of water were found).
What body in the solar system would float if it was placed in a big enough ocean?
Saturn. It is the only planet in the solar system that is less dense than water.
Can Pluto float in water?
No, Pluto is much denser water. The only planet or similar object less dense than water is Saturn.
What is the least dense planet?
Saturn is the least dense planet, only 0.7 g/cc on average (less than water's density). If you could put Saturn in bathwater, it would float.
Would a block of wood float on top of water?
depending what kind of wood it would probably only be driftwood that would float.
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".
How dense is Saturn compared to other planets?
Saturn is the only planet in our Solar System that is less dense than water. Saturn would float if there were a body of water large enough!♥♥
Would a 400 pound man float in a tank of water?
Not only would he float, but it would be virtually impossible for him to completely submerge on his own power.
What is the name of the largest of the terrestrial planets by mass?
Currently HAT-P-1 is the largest planet ever discovered. Its a gas giant with a diameter 2.8x of Jupiter's. Its also the least dense planet found. Its only 1/4 the density of water making the planet its self lighter than a cork. Like Saturn it can float in water only it would float 3x highers. It's gravity is believed to be so strong that no rocky core. The planet its self completely changes the way how gas giants are believed formed.
Will aluminum always float in any liquid?
No, it will only float in a liquid more dense than it. Since it is more dense than water, it would sink in water, for example.
