Why Saturn is a least massive?

Saturn, like Jupiter, is a gaseous planet which is large in volume, but contains a relatively lower concentration of matter than solid planets like earth. If the matter in Saturn was squashed down to solid form, it would be much smaller. Comparing Saturn to Earth is like comparing a ball of cotton candy to a Baseball. The cotton candy looks bigger, but the baseball weighs more.
