Shyann Jensen · Answer 1

It will float

Explanation:

Saturn is the second largest planet of the solar system. It is a gas giant. Although it is huge its density is very less as compared to other planets and Earth. In fact its density is (1/8) th of that of the Earth.

Density of Saturn: 687 kg/m³

Density of Earth: 5520 kg/m³

Density of Water: 997 kg/m³

If we place Saturn in a tub of water, it will float. The reason is its lower density than water. For anything to sink in water it should have higher density than water.
