Most of Saturn is much less dense than most of Earth. Yet Saturn's mass is much greater than Earth's mass. How can this be so?

Saturn is much biggger than Earth.

Think about this:
All of Earth's atmosphere is much less dense than any bowling ball, yet the mass of the whole atmosphere is much greater than the mass of a bowling ball.
