The Moon doesn't exactly float. The Moon actually "falls" towards Earth, meaning that without gravitation, it would continue in a straight line. Its almost circular orbit around Earth (instead of continuing in a straight line) is the direct result of Earth's gravitation.

Why don't planets float around?

Planets do "float" in space due to the force of gravity, which keeps them in orbit around a star. Their movement is controlled by the balance between their forward inertia and the gravitational pull exerted by the object they are orbiting. Without gravity, planets would not maintain their stable orbits.


What planet would be able to float in water?

There is no known planet that would be able to float in water, as planets are much larger and denser than water. However, hypothetical lightweight planets made of less dense materials like ice or certain gases could potentially float in a giant body of water if it existed on a massive scale.


Why could Saturn be able to float in a planet sized tub?

Saturn would float in a bathtub because it has the lowest density of all the planets. If something has very low density, it floats. Thus explaining why Saturn would float


How many planets float?

Hope I could help ^_^The simple fact is, there is no body of water large enough to float a planet in, but also, some planets are made of gas, and the atmosphere would rip the planet apart, and the ones made of rock would most likely sink.
