Saturn is the only planet of the Solar System that is less dense than water—about 30% less. [ 39] Although Saturn's core is considerably denser than water, the average specific density of the planet is 0.69 g/cm3, because of the atmosphere. Jupiter has 318 times Earth's mass, [ 40] and Saturn is 95 times Earth's mass. [ 6]

Saturn was first visited by Pioneer 11in September 1979. It flew within 20,000 kilometres (12,000 mi) of the top of the planet's cloud layer. Low-resolution images were acquired of the planet and a few of its moons; the resolution of the images was not good enough to discern surface features. The spacecraft also studied the rings; among the ...
