Which planets density is lesser than that of water?
Saturn's is.
Which of the jovian planets has a density smaller than water?
I'm pretty sure Saturn would float in water.
Which planets in the solar system have an average density less than that of water?
It is said that if you could find an ocean on Earth large enough to accommodate it, Saturn would float. That is, Saturn's average density is less than the density of water. Turns out it's the only planet with an average density less than 1.000, that is, less than the density of water.
Planet with a density so low that it could float on water?
Saturn has an "average density" of just 0.687 grams per cubic centimeter, which is less than water. The interior of the planet does not have as large or dense a rock core as the other gas giants, compared to its overall diameter. Like Jupiter, it generates a very high internal heat.
What planet has density less than water?
Saturn. It has been said that if you could find enough water and a large enough bath, Saturn would float in it.Note: Jupiter is not the correct answer:Any object whose density is less than water will float in water.Density of Water: 1 g/cm3Density of Saturn: 0.687 g/cm3Density of Jupiter: 1.326 g/cm3
Which planets density is lesser than that of water?
Saturn's is.
Which of the planets has a density less than water and therefore would float?
Saturn
Which of the jovian planets has a density smaller than water?
I'm pretty sure Saturn would float in water.
When would the density of an object float in liquid water?
The density is not directly relevant. Otherwise, ship made of steel would not float on water.
Would a substance float if its density is 1 gram per ml?
Less than that of the substance it is floating on.
Would an object with a density of 0.85g per ml float sink or remain suspended in tap water?
Float - The density of water is 1.0, anything with a density less than this will float in water.
Would the mass on mercury float on water?
Mercury would not float on water. This is because the density of Mercury (5427kg/m3) is greater than the density of water (1000kg/m3).
Why could Saturn be able to float in a planet sized tub?
Saturn would float in a bathtub because it has the lowest density of all the planets. If something has very low density, it floats. Thus explaining why Saturn would float
Would the density of white oak sink or float if it is placed in water?
The density of the wood would not be affected by being placed in water. However, the wood itself, with a density of about 0.77 gm/cm3 , would float.
Does iron box float on water when density of iron is less than water?
Yes it would float
Does Venus have a density less than water?
I think no but I think Saturn have less density than water and it can float on water. ------------------------------------------ Venus has a density of 5.24, where water has a density of 1.0. All the "terrestrial" planets are typically as dense as rocks; that's why they are sometimes called "rocky" planets. The gas giant planets have much lower densities; 1.33 for Jupiter, 1.32 for Neptune, and 0.69 for Saturn. So yes, if Saturn were a uniform solid of that density, it would "float". However, the comparison is silly, because Saturn is mostly gas; hydrogen and helium. You have to compress these a WHOLE LOT to get densities as high as they are!
How would you know if something would float on water?
Compare the density of the object in question to the density of water. If its density is less than water, it will float. For example, oak floats because its density is 0.7 g/cm³ and the density of water is 1 g/cm.If the density of an object is greater than water, it will sink.
