Yeah, the density of water is 1g/ml3 and the density of saturn is .69g/ml3 that is why it floats

I KNOW WHY. IT'S MADE OF NOTHING BUT GAS LIKE HYDROGEN MAYBE! or maybe another light gas with nothing else but gas. Plus it isn't like neptune, which i think has ice in it, and rock... maybe

it does not weigh much because it is made up of light gases

maybe... but you have to think about how the gas from [glow=red,2,300][/glow][shadow=red,left,300][/shadow]the planet and the water would react
