Statistics About The Least Dense Planet
Statistics about the least dense planet typically involve measurements of low surface gravity and a composition that includes a mixture of gases and ice.
In this post, we explore the fascinating statistics surrounding Saturn, the least dense planet in our solar system. From its gaseous composition to its magnetic field and iconic rings, Saturn’s low density plays a crucial role in shaping its unique characteristics and behaviors.
Statistic 1
"Least dense planet in our solar system is Saturn."
Statistic 2
"Saturn's density is less than that of water, 0.69 g/cm³."
Statistic 3
"If placed in water, Saturn would float because it is less dense than water."
Statistic 4
"Saturn's density is so low due to its gaseous composition, primarily composed of hydrogen and helium."
Statistic 5
"Saturn's surface gravity is only 92% of Earth's due to its low density."
Statistic 6
"Despite its bigger size, the low density of Saturn gives it the third-lowest total mass of the gas giants, after Neptune and Uranus."
Statistic 7
"Only 12.5 % of Saturn’s volume is of its core."
Statistic 8
"The composition of Saturn, in addition to hydrogen and helium, includes traces of ammonia, methane and water vapor, which also contribute to its low density."
Statistic 9
"Saturn's low density and fast rotation (a day on Saturn is just 10.7 hours) mean its polar diameter is greatly reduced, making it the most oblate planet in the solar system."
Statistic 10
"Despite its low density, Saturn has a very strong magnetic field, just slightly weaker than Jupiter's and much stronger than Earth's."
Statistic 11
"Saturn’s low density affects its atmosphere, which extends over 60 miles in, much further than Earth’s."
Statistic 12
"Due to its low density, the atmosphere on Saturn is considerably lighter than on Earth."
Statistic 13
"Despite its low density, Saturn has the second-highest number of moons in the solar system - 82."
Statistic 14
"Saturn's low density contributes to its weak gravity field, helping it retain its iconic ring system."
Statistic 15
"Saturn's low density also makes it susceptible to tidal forces from its moons, contributing to its distinctive auroras."
Statistic 16
"Even though it is the least dense, Saturn is the second-largest planet in the solar system."
Statistic 17
"Saturn's low density affects its orbit. Its average orbital speed is about 9.68 km/s, slower than Jupiter’s, but faster than any other outer planets."
Statistic 18
"The density of Saturn’s rings, which are mostly composed of ice particles with a smaller amount of rocky debris, is also incredibly low—from 0.35 to 1.45 grams per cubic cm."
Statistic 19
"The pressure in the planet's deeper layers causes the low-density hydrogen gas to transition into a higher-density liquid around a central core."
Statistic 20
"Saturn is the least dense among the four giant, or Jovian, planets, which also include Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune."
