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.

If you choose not to consider the planet as a whole, the atmosphere would float on the water but the rocky core would sink like a stone.

It should float because it has a lower density than water. Of course that's not a very practical idea in reality.

What is Saturn's average density lower than?

Saturn's average density is lower than that of water, which means it would float in water if a large enough container were available for it to be placed in.

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.
