Which planet has a density less than water?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking to identify which planet in our solar system has a density that is lower than that of water. This involves understanding the densities of the planets and comparing them to the density of water.

More Information

Saturn’s low density is due to its composition, primarily hydrogen and helium, making it less dense than even water. If a sufficiently large body of water existed, Saturn would theoretically float.
