Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -It is enveloped by liquid metallic hydrogen inside a layer of liquid hydrogen –similar to Jupiter’s core but considerably smaller. It’s hard to imagine, but Saturn is the only planet in our solar system with an average density that is less than water.
Detailed explanation-2: -Saturn is the least dense planet. In fact, its density is less than water because it is mostly made of gas and hence, ideally it can float on water.
Detailed explanation-3: -A year on Saturn is more than 29 Earth years. Saturn spins on its axis very fast. A day on Saturn is 10 hours and 14 minutes. The Ringed Planet is so far away from the Sun that it receives much less sunlight than we do here on Earth.
