Calculate the density of Saturn. Show your work. How does it compare with the density of water? Explain how this can be.

Answer :

Answer:

The density of Saturn is 686.81 kg/m³.

Explanation:

Mass of Saturn,  [tex]m=5.68\times 10^{26}\ kg[/tex]  

Volume of Saturn, [tex]V=8.27\times 10^{23}\ m^3[/tex]

Density of Saturn is given by its mass divided by its volume i.e.

[tex]d=\dfrac{m}{V}[/tex]

[tex]d=\dfrac{5.68\times 10^{26}}{8.27\times 10^{23}}[/tex]

[tex]d=686.81\ kg/m^3[/tex]

So, the density of Saturn is 686.81 kg/m³.

The density of water is 1000 kg/m³. It is clear that the density of Saturn is less than water.
