    If you drive a Saturn into the Pacific Ocean there’s a good chance most of us will survive. Saturns have a low buoyancy.

    More science facts: Salt water has higher density, so if you put the Pacific Ocean into a cup of tap water, it will sink to the bottom.

    Same with large black holes, which are (going by their event horizon) less dense than water. Black holes get less dense as they get more massive.

    If you drop one into an ocean, the ocean will immediately collapse into an even bigger black hole and mess up space around it.

    more science facts, if you were to put earth as close as you could to saturn without them destroying each other, they would orbit each other as a binary planet rather than earth being a satellite of saturn

    essentially there’s no way for earth to stably orbit saturn as it’d have to be so close it’d be ripped apart
