Saturn is primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, but it also contains water in the form of ice and vapor. Estimates suggest that water makes up a small fraction of the planet's overall composition, with some studies indicating that the amount of water in its atmosphere might be around 0.5 to 1% by volume. Additionally, Saturn's moons, such as Enceladus, have significant amounts of water ice, contributing to the overall water presence in the Saturnian system.

What happens if Saturn was placed in water?

Since Saturn has a mean density of 0.687 g/cm3, less than that of water, it is nice to think that it would float in water. While that is (sort of) true, you also have to consider that Saturn is much colder than the freezing point of water, so it would freeze whatever water it was placed in. Also, Saturn's core is much denser than water, so one would also have to consider what happens when the atmosphere of Saturn is boiled away by the temperature of the water. In the final analysis, it is moot, because the volume of water required to attempt to float Saturn would exceed the volume of Jupiter, and we just don't have that much water available.


How much water flows through Saturn?

about 16,000 tons flow through space and go on the edge of saturn atmmsphere


Is Saturn lighter or heavier than water?

Saturn is much lighter than water. It is a gas giant made primarily of hydrogen and helium, with a density lower than that of water.


Does saturn have an ocean on it?

No, there is no water on Saturn.


What forms of water on Saturn?

The form of water on saturn is the form of water we have here on earth.


Calculate the density of Saturn. show your work. how does it compare with the density of water Explain how this can be?

The density of Saturn is about 0.687 g/cm^3. This is much lower than the density of water, which is 1 g/cm^3. Saturn's low density is due to its composition of primarily hydrogen and helium gases, which are much less dense than water. Additionally, Saturn's larger size and lower average density compared to Earth also contribute to its overall density being less than that of water.


What forms of water are found on Saturn or of any of it's moon?

frozen water is the water from that I found that Saturn has.


Which planets density is lesser than that of water?

Saturn's is.


Can Saturn float on water?

well of course not. Saturn is the second largest planet so the gravitational pull will be too much even on Jupiter has the most gravity so u'd be much more heavier on Jupiter, Saturn, uranus and neptune


Why would water run out the overflow tank of a Saturn 2002 sl?

you put way do much water in or you forgot to get the air bubbles out of it


What would happen if you dropped Saturn in a big ocean of water?

It would be submerged in water.


What is the water availability in Saturn?

Saturn is almost entirely hydrogen and helium, but it does have trace amounts of other chemicals, including water. When we look at Saturn, we're actually seeing the upper cloud tops of Saturn's atmosphere. These are made of frozen crystals of ammonia. You can also check out these cool telescopes that will help you see the beauty of planet Saturn. But beneath this upper cloud layer, astronomers think there's a lower cloud deck made of ammonium hydrosulfide and water. There is water, but not very much.
