Thats a little misleading as you are never going to make that comparison as you go into orbit around this gas giant of little density. The point being that the composition of the gas giant is not important. Its the total mass or center of it that we need to work with when calculating orbital trajectories. To make the comparison with cork was also noted as a bit daft. I understand the need to give the public a picture they can relate to. In this case I would have thought a ball of candyflose.
