The matter from Saturn must be less dense than water, which is why it floats, while the matter from Earth is denser than water, causing it to sink. This suggests that the matter from Saturn likely has a composition that differs from the matter found on Earth.

What planet that a lower density than the density of water that causes it to float?

Saturn is the planet with a lower density than water, causing it to float if there were a large enough body of water for it to be placed in. Its average density is less than that of water due to its composition of mostly hydrogen and helium gases.


Does energy float or sink in water?

Energy comes in many different forms, but not usually in a form that you can say that it sinks or floats.


Why cant you float in the air?

You can't float in the air because of the force of gravity pulling you down towards the Earth. In order to float, you would need an upward force (like buoyancy in water or lift in an airplane) to counteract the pull of gravity. Without such a force, you will always fall towards the Earth.


What items will float in water?

Items that are less dense than water will float, such as plastic, cork, wood, and certain metals like aluminum. Objects with air pockets or hollow spaces will also float because they displace enough water to remain afloat.


Would Jupiter float if placed in water?

The average density of Jupiter is 1.326 g/cm3The average density of a human is 1.01 g/cm3Therefore, a human would float on Jupiter since human density < Jupiter density.What is likely to happen is the outer layers of Jupiter are not very dense much less than 1 g/cm3. Near the center of Jupiter the density would be much greater due to the pressure from all the atmosphere above it pushing and compressing it.So a human body would end up floating somewhere in the middle of Jupiter, it would not be at the "surface." It would also not be able to sink to the center.

Definitely not. Saturn is the only planet that would float on water. (If you could find a swimming pool that size)


Can Saturn float in the water?

If you could find a body of water large enough to fit Saturn, yes it could float in the water. The density of Saturn is at 0.687 g/cm&Acirc;&sup3;.


Which planets density is lesser than that of water?

Saturn's is.


If you had a big enough Ocean could Saturn float in it?

Saturn is not very dense... or solid. It is a giant ball of gas. Water is more dense that Saturn, therefore, Saturn would float on water. ________________ More specifically, the density of Saturn is 0.69, where water is 1.0. So if Saturn were a solid (which it is not), it would float. Saturn is by far the least dense of all the planets; even Uranus at 1.32 and Jupiter at 1.33 are more dense than water is. Earth is the MOST dense planet at 5.52, edging out Mercury at 5.43 and Venus at 5.24 in average density.


Which planet is our solar system would float if you put it in water?

Saturn is less dense than water. So the Answer is Saturn.


If you could put earth in a bathtub would it float?

No, the Earth would not float in a bathtub because the Earth is much more massive and dense than water. The force of gravity acting on the Earth's mass would pull it down into the water, causing it to sink.


What is special about Saturns density?
