Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

The density of Saturn is 686.81 kg/m³.

Explanation:

Mass of Saturn,  $m=5.68\times 10^{26}\ kg$  

Volume of Saturn, $V=8.27\times 10^{23}\ m^3$

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

$d=\dfrac{m}{V}$

$d=\dfrac{5.68\times 10^{26}}{8.27\times 10^{23}}$

$d=686.81\ kg/m^3$

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.
