What would happen to to Saturn if it were placed water?

Theoretically, the planet Saturn would float when placed in water because it has an average density that is less than the density of water. On the other hand, there is probably not enough water in the solar system to permit the experiment to be performed.

When an egg is placed in Kary syrup the egg releases the water inside of it to achieve diffusion. There is a higher concentration of water in the egg than in the Karo syrup. When you touch the egg after it was left in the Karo syrup overnight you will find that it collapses under your touch because it has lost some of its volume (the water). The egg will also shrink in size.
