Saturn is a planet made out of mostly gas. As gas has little mass, it is less dense than Earth. Remember that density is proportional to its mass and surface area.

How many times bigger is earth compared to titan Saturn's moon?

Earths diameter is around 12756km at the equator, Titans diameter of 5151km is about 40% that of Earths diameter. Its volume though is only about 0.066 `Earth volumes` (6.6%).

Of the four gas giants; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, Neptune is the smallest. Uranus is the least massive though, bigger than Neptune but lower in density and mass.

Do objects with large masses always have a large density?

The density of the planet Saturn is less than ' 1 '. If some kind of enormous ocean of water existed somewhere, Saturn could float in it. Even though Saturn has quite a fair amount of mass.


Is Saturn 9 Earth's long?

Its about 9.5 times 'longer' than earth. Its diameter is 9.5 times longer than the earths diameter. this is just a measurement of one dimension though. When you look at volume comparisons though (a three dimensional measure), Saturn's volume is around 763 times that of the earths volume.


Which planet is equal in size to about 63 earths?

Jupiter or Saturn. i think its Jupiter though...like thousands and thousands of earths can fit into the sun....venus is close to the size of esarth also


What planet is s o light that it could float on water?

Saturn is the planet that is so light that it could float on water. Its average density is less than water, which gives it the unique characteristic of being able to float in a large enough body of water.


How many satellites are their in Saturn?

Saturn has 62 identified moons, 53 of which are named. Some of the moons are "shepherd moons" within the ring system. The largest is Titan, which is bigger (though with less mass) than the planet Mercury.


The size of planets from largest to smallest?

Pluto (if you still count it)- (diameter - 2300 km) Mercury - (diameter - 4879.4 km) Mars - (diameter - 6787 km) Venus - (diameter - 12,104 km) Earth - (diameter - 12,115 km) Neptune- (diameter - 49,528 km) Uranus - (diameter - 51,118 km) Saturn - (diameter - 120,660 km) Jupiter - (diameter - 142,800 km) But Venus is the about the same size as Earth, its a little bigger not by much though.


What are the planet's diameters?

Mercury's diameter (at the equator) = 4880km or 0.3825 x Earths diameter Venus' diameter = 12,104km or 0.9488 x Earths Earth's diameter = 12,756km Mars' diameter = 6794km or 0.5323 x Earths Jupiter's diameter = 142,984km or 11.21 x Earths Saturn's diameter = 120,534km or 9.45 x Earths Uranus' diameter = 51,114km or 4.01 x Earths Neptune's diameter = 49,532km or 3.88 x Earths (Pluto's diameter = 2306km or 0.18 x Earths) I included Pluto on the end there, its not classed as a planet any more though, but a dwarf planet.


Which planet is solar systems larger rocky planet?

Earth, which is bigger than Mars, Venus and Mercury(other rocky planets). Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are made out of solidified gas, so even though they are bigger than the Earth, they have very few rocks in their core.


Why does smaller objects have bigger masses than bigger object?

The mass of an object doesn't always depend on its size. It can depend on both size and density. Density is the mass per unit volume of an object, meaning it is how much one unit of an object's volume weighs. What determines that weight is how close together the atoms of that substance is. For example: a metal cube has a higher density than the cork of a bottle; even though they are the same size, their weight is different.
