Yes, conditionally .

If you had a big enough body of water held in a container by gravity it would. Although most of it would immediately deform from a sphere into layers on top of the water . This is possible because Saturn is mostly made up of gas that is less dense (less mass per unit of volume) than water.

The problem would be finding a solid planet big enough to put the water on.

Which planetis so light that it could float in water?

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?"


How dense is Saturn compared to other planets?

Saturn is the only planet in our Solar System that is less dense than water. Saturn would float if there were a body of water large enough!♥♥


Why is Saturn the only planet that can float?

Saturn is a gas giant planet, with a less-dense core than some other planets. The planet's overall density, is less than the density of water. Hence the quite correct old saying in astronomy" "If you could find a lake big enough to put it in, Saturn would float".

Can Pluto float in water?

No, Pluto is a dwarf planet made primarily of rock and ice, so it would not float in water. The density of Pluto is much higher than that of water, so it would sink if it were placed in a body of water.


How does Saturn float in water if its so heavy?

Yes, Saturn's mean density is only 70% of that of water.
