Planets are the large bodies that orbit the star. There are 8 known planets (including the planet we live, planet earth) in the solar system that revolve around the sun. These planets differ in size, appearance and some features.
Probably, You might have seen big ships moving on the water and that's not a surprise. But I'm sure you haven't heard yet about a planet that floats on the water.
Yes, planet Saturn floats in the water.
Scientists did a research and discovered that Saturn can float on the water.
Just continue reading to the end you will know how and why this planet floats on the waters.
Saturn is a second biggest planet in solar system with a circumference of 378,675 km and radius of 58,232 km (almost about 9.5 times bigger than the earth), it is the sixth planet from the sun. Saturn is circled by a ring scientifically known as planetary ring system which makes it appears different from other planets in the solar system.
Why does Saturn float on the water?
Scientists discovered that the density of planet Saturn is lower than the density of water. The density of Saturn is about 0.69 g/m³ while the density of water is 1 g/m³. According to physics, if an object is denser than water, that object will sink when placed onto the water, but if an object is less denser than water, the object will float, regardless how big it is. In this case, planet Saturn can float on the water since it's less denser than water.
