If Saturn could fi t in a bathtub, would it float? Use the planetary data in Appendix A to calculate the density (mass/volume) of Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. What are the differences? Can you explain them? If an object has a density less than it will float in water. Would any of these planets float (assuming a big enough container of water!)? (Note: Your calculated values of the density should assume spherical planets. The density values in Table A.3 do not make this assumption and are therefore more accurate.)
