Скачать или смотреть Can Saturn Float on Water?

There is more to this puzzle than the density of Saturn...



Saturn wouldn't float on water for a number of reasons:

The amount of water needed would be 6 the height of Earth, and such a body of water doesn't exist.

It is unlikely that such a body of water would ever exist to allow Saturn to float, because the amount of pressure at the lower depth of this body of water are likely to cause fusion - which can form a star. This is more likely to destroy Saturn than allow it to float.

If the water was somehow stabilised, Saturn still wouldn't float on it. What would happen is its heavy core (metal and rock) would sink to the bottom of the great ocean, and the rest of Saturn (which is gas) would disperse over the surface of the water - this doesn't count as floating...
