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.
It is said that if you could find an ocean on Earth large enough to accommodate it, Saturn would float. That is, Saturn's average density is less than the density of water. Turns out it's the only planet with an average density less than 1.000, that is, less than the density of water.
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)
Saturn is less dense than water. So the Answer is Saturn.
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?"
Yes, the Earth's moon is less dense than Mercury. Mercury is one of the densest planets in the solar system, with a density about 5.4 times that of water, whereas the Moon has a density about 3.3 times that of water.
Saturn.
Saturn is the planet with a lower density than water, causing it to float if there were a large enough body of water for it to be placed in. Its average density is less than that of water due to its composition of mostly hydrogen and helium gases.
All the gas giants; in our Solar System, Saturn has the lowest density (less than the density of water).
Saturn, with a density of 0.7 kg cm-3
It is said that if you could find an ocean on Earth large enough to accommodate it, Saturn would float. That is, Saturn's average density is less than the density of water. Turns out it's the only planet with an average density less than 1.000, that is, less than the density of water.
Saturn
A cork is less denser than water because cork is floating on water so it will have less density than water

Saturn is less dense than water. So the Answer is Saturn.
Density is mass divided by volume. Saturn has a big mass AND a big volume. In this case the effect if the big volume is enough to "beat " the effect of the big mass and Saturn's density is less than water.
An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.
-- If the object floats in water, then its density is less than the density of water. -- If the object sinks in water, then its density is more than the density of water. -- If the object floats in air, then its density is less than the density of air. -- If the object sinks in air, then its density is less than the density of air.
