if you found a bathtub big enough to hold saturn, then:?

Question

a.) saturn would sink like a rock, due to its denser core.b.)saturn could float.
c.) it would precipitate helium into the tub.
d.) saturn would explode upon contact with water.
e.) saturn would drown, because it does not know how to swim.

Answer 1

Two correct answers here. b. Saturn's density is less than that of water (I'm assuming the bathtub is water filled) I remember seeing an old textbook illustrating this by showing Saturn, rings and all, floating in an ocean.



Other correct answer is f. It'd also be big enough to hold my Mother-in-Law.

Answer 2

If we did find a bathtub that big and enough water, then Saturn would float. Of course that is relativistically speaking. Realistically speaking depending on what material the bathtub is made up of, Saturn would be gravitationally attracted to the tub and they both would combine into one gassy, clumpy, wet mass.

Answer 3

Hi. Saturn is less dense than water.

Answer 4

Gravity would cause both to combine into a bigger planet - with even more rings...

Answer 5

b.

Answer 6

e.
