Earth is a rocky planet, with a large portion of it composed of metals and silicate rocks. By contrast Saturn is gaseous, composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, the two least dense of all substances.

Which is the only planet in the Solar System that is less dense than water?
That is the planet Saturn.
Which planet is known for system of rings and would float in a tub of water?
Saturn. The planet 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.
If you had a big enough Ocean could Saturn float in it?
Saturn is not very dense... or solid. It is a giant ball of gas. Water is more dense that Saturn, therefore, Saturn would float on water. ________________ More specifically, the density of Saturn is 0.69, where water is 1.0. So if Saturn were a solid (which it is not), it would float. Saturn is by far the least dense of all the planets; even Uranus at 1.32 and Jupiter at 1.33 are more dense than water is. Earth is the MOST dense planet at 5.52, edging out Mercury at 5.43 and Venus at 5.24 in average density.
What does 'Saturn is less dense than water' mean?
The density of something is how much material there is in a given space. It is sort of like "thickness". A very dense material will be heavy even in small amounts. Water, for example, is denser than air. This is why it is more difficult to move through water than it is through air. Air particles are spaced further apart from each other than water particles. A solid, such as stone, is denser than water, so dense that is impossible to move through. Saturn's average density is less than that of water. This is because Saturn is mostly gas.
Is Jupiter less dense than water?
No, the only planet in the solar system less dense than water is Saturn.
Is Saturn more or less dense than fresh water?
less
Which planet is our solar system would float if you put it in water?
Saturn is less dense than water. So the Answer is Saturn.
How is Saturn more dense than other planets?
Actually, Saturn is the least dense of all planets, the only planet less dense than water, at 687.00 kg/m³.
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!♥♥
Which is the only planet in the Solar System that is less dense than water?
That is the planet Saturn.
Which planet is the the only planet that would float on water?
Saturn. Obviously it's not a very practical idea, but Saturn is less dense than water.
The Earth is the densest planet in the Solar System Is it denser or less dense than water?
Earth is more than 5 times denser than water. Of all the planets in the solar system, only Saturn is less dense than water.
Which planet is known for system of rings and would float in a tub of water?
Saturn. The planet is less dense than water.
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.
Which planet has the lowest average density?
Saturn:)Saturn is the least dense of the gas giants, even out of all of the planets in our solar system. Its average density is around 0.7 g/cc (less than water)
Is water less or more dense than water?
Ice is less dense than water
