If we could find a bathtub large enough to hold this planet, this planet would float on the surface like a giant cork !!!
The planet is SATURN !!!
It is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second largest in solar system.
Despite its size, it has low density than other planets and its density is lesser than water and hence floats.
Saturn is called " Moon King '"as it has 276confirmed Moons !!!
High pressure of Saturn 's atmosphere turns methane gas into soot which hardens into graphite and then to diamond and fall toward the core !!!
A permanent six sided storm is found on northern pole.
Saturn is slowly " eating " its rings means they are falling into core and could be gone in 100 million years.
The moon Mimas has giant crater.
Saturn generates more heat internally than it receives from Sun !!!
Saturn's moon Titon is the only place other than Earth in aolar system, to have liquid lakes. Lakes are not filled with water but liquid methane !!!
