Solution
Density of the planet Saturn makes it unique in the solar system. Even though Saturn is the second largest planet in the solar system (with Jupiter being the largest), it is surprisingly light. This is because the planet is made almost entirely out of gas, primarily helium. It is impossible to stand on the surface of Saturn, because there is virtually no surface to stand on.
