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’s rings are so thin that when seen edge-on they practically disappear, even to the Cassini spacecraft. They barely reveal their presence in this shot, though the shadows they cast on the planet itself makes it easier.
