Saturn Floats: The Lightest Planet

Known for its distinctive ring system, Saturn is the second-largest planet in our solar system.

But did you know that its average density is less than that of water? Yes, you heard it right! Saturn could float in water due to its low density.

Now, this doesn't mean that there's a cosmic pool vast enough for such an experiment.

But theoretically, if you could find a bathtub big enough, Saturn would float.

This is because Saturn is made up predominantly of gases, mostly hydrogen and helium, similar to the sun.

These elements are lighter than solid material, thus rendering Saturn less dense than water.

However, the planet's low density does not make it a lightweight in the solar system.

Saturn is massive, holding spot number two in size only after Jupiter.

So, while it may 'float,' don't underestimate this gaseous giant's gravitational pull!.
