Which planet has a density that is less than the density of liquid water?
A
Mercury
B
Earth
C
Mars
D
Saturn
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Saturn has the lowest density of all the planets in our solar system. Its density is lesser than water and if you had large enough pool of water, Saturn would float. But mass of the Saturn is almost 95 times of the Earth.

Detailed explanation-2: -Saturn is mainly composed of the lightest two gases known, hydrogen and helium. It is the only planet in our solar system whose density is less than water. So Saturn will float while all the other planets sink!

Detailed explanation-3: -Saturn is very large and is the second largest planet in the Solar System. However, it is made up mostly of gas and is less dense than water. Since it is lighter than water, it can float on water.

Detailed explanation-4: -Saturn has a density lower than water. That means if you could place the planet in water, Saturn would float.

Detailed explanation-5: -Saturn has the lowest density of any planet in our solar system. Its density is so low that it would float if it was placed in water. Saturn is a large gas planet with an atmosphere composed of hydrogen and helium. Saturn’s rapid spin tends to flatten out the poles while causing a bulge at its equator.
