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).
The planet Saturn is one of many gas giants in our solar system.
The cores of gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn are thought to be icy-rocky and have a composition of heavier elements such as rock and metal. These cores likely formed early in the planet's history as solid grains in the protoplanetary disk before the gas atmosphere accreted around them. The core's mass is crucial in determining the planet's overall structure and evolution.
A planet with a deep and massive atmosphere is typically referred to as a gas giant. Gas giants are composed mainly of elements such as hydrogen and helium and have thick atmospheres that can extend for thousands of kilometers. Jupiter and Saturn are examples of gas giants in our solar system.
Venus is called a terrestrial planet because it has a solid rocky surface, like Earth does. The other type of planet in this gas is a gas giant or Jovian planed, consisting largely of hydrogen gas, like Jupiter.
Gas giants are primarily made up of hydrogen and helium, with small amounts of other gases such as methane and ammonia. They have no solid surface and their atmosphere becomes increasingly dense towards the core.
Saturn is the least dense planet in our solar system.

Not at all. Mars is the least dense of the rocky planets. Earth is the densest planet in the Solar System because of its large iron core. Mercury and Venus are only slightly less dense.All of the Gas giants are much less dense than the rocky planets. The least dense, Saturn, is actually less dense than water. (All of the gas giants have a much greater mass than the rocky planets but density is mass divided by volume)
They are all dense and rocky. The gas giants are made of gas and are big. ps. pluto is not a plnet anymore!! ^_^
Gas Giants.
When heated, gases typically expand and become less dense. So, a gas would be least dense when heated.
Venus has a very dense atmosphere, which helps burn up many meteors it pulls in. This lets the planet have many less craters than others. Additionally, the gas giants don't have any known craters, since they are made of mostly gas.
Gas Giants
Gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn are the least dense planets in our solar system. They are made up mostly of gases like hydrogen and helium, making their overall density much lower compared to rocky planets like Earth and Mars.
'Least' is a comparison word. Compared to iron and lead yes cotton is least dense. Compares to oxygen gas and hydrogen gas, no it is not least dense.
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.
there are four gas giants
