Fun Fact: Saturn would float in water if you had a bathtub big enough

Saturn's average density is lower than water's. Although the planet has no solid surface like Earth, the density comparison means it would float in an imaginary ocean large enough to hold it.

The surprising detail is that a planet enormous enough to hold hundreds of Earths is mostly light gas rather than rock.

What to do: Explore NASA's planetary facts for Saturn and compare densities with Earth and Jupiter.
