Best Answer

Saturn could float in water, because it has a density of 0.7 that of water. That is, however, a theoretical construct, because you would need an enormous pool of water, with a gravitational field much larger than anything we have, in order to achieve that state.

Which planetis so light that it could float in water?

A planet's weight does not determine whether it can float in water. It's density is what determines that. Your question should be "Which planet's density is so small that it could float in water?"

Saturn, because it has a lower density than water.

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".


Which planet is less dense and can float?

Saturn is a gas planet, and if it were possible to place it in water it would float. Not sure if the rings would float, but, the planet itself would.


What is the planet with an average density less then the density of water?

Saturn would float in water if you could find a big enough tub and the water to fill it.


Which planet has its density so low that it could float in water?

Saturn has a very low density and it would be able to float on water. The density of Saturn is: 0.687 grams per cubic centimeter.


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
