Saturn, because it's density is less than that of waters.

Which planet is less dense and can float?

Saturn is a gas planet, and if it were possible to place it in water it would float. Not sure if the rings would float, but, the planet itself would.


What planet would float if dropped in the sun?

None of them. If any planet were to crash into the Sun, the planet would be instantly vaporized.You may be thinking of the planet Saturn, which is so light that if it could be placed in a big enough bathtub, would float.


Which planet is the least dense and would float?

Saturn is that planet. It's less dense than water so would float in theory, but it's not a very practicable idea.


What planet is so light it would float in water?

SATURN.


Which planet could float on a giant planet?

The planet Saturn could theoretically float on giant planet like Jupiter because Saturn has a lower density than Jupiter due to its composition being mostly gas and liquid. This would mean that Saturn would have the ability to "float" in the atmosphere of Jupiter, similar to how a boat floats on water.


How light is the planet Saturn?

So light it would actually float on water.

Which planet is known for system of rings and would float in a tub of water?

Saturn. The planet is less dense than water.


Would Uranus float in water?

No, the density of Uranus is 1.27 g/cm3 (the density of water is 1.00 g/cm3), therefore Uranus would sink. The planet that would float in water is the planet Saturn which has a density of 0.687 g/cm3.


What planet would float on water in a giant bath tub?

Saturn..... amazing isn't it!


What what would happen to Saturn if it were placed in 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. 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.


Would Saturn float?

Saturn (the planet) would float if you could find anything large enough for it to float in. The density of Saturn is 0.687 g/cm³ which is less than water. However, the density of Saturn (the planet) is always calculated as the "mean density", indicating that the mass of the core, water, and gasses are all combined to provide the total mass of the planet, and the volume, including the gas mantle is used to calculate mean density. Naturally the gas mantle will float, since it is significantly less dense than water, but if the planet were placed in a theoretical container of water, the gas would no longer be a significant part of the process, and the core of the planet would sink. So... it depends on how you're deciding whether the planet will float. Are you putting a large balloon around it then putting it into the theoretical container of water? Yes, it will float if that's what you're doing. But if the gas of the planet is allowed to act as a gas, everything changes... you decide. Saturn (the vehicle) would float briefly, while the windows and doors are closed, but as air is displaced, water would fill the inside of the vehicle and it would sink. If you wanted to fill the interior with beach balls or something else that would hold air... it would probably float.
