This is might happen: Since Jupiter is much bigger and has a higher density I would bet on a mixture of gases flowing toward Jupiter from a meandering Saturn long before the two planets met. The last two comet impacts on Jupiter tells us that Jupiter is protecting the inner planets from comets by eating them. Saturns' fate would be similar, but on a massive scale. There could be interactions that might upset our solar system even further than the loss of one of the gas giants. Since Jupiter is more massive I see Saturn heading toward it and our local star, Sol. Perhaps the victim of an onslaught of comets or its neighbor slowing it down. This is possible seeing that Neptune might have got hit and went into its' oval orbit.
If Saturn were to crash into Jupiter, it is likely that both planets would be destroyed due to the high impact forces involved. The collision would result in a massive release of energy, potentially causing a significant disruption in our solar system. The debris from the collision could also pose a threat to other nearby celestial bodies.
Hypothetically, if Jupiter were to be swallowed up by the Sun, that's exactly what would happen: the Sun is so much larger than Jupiter that it would simply disappear within, perhaps producing a massive solar flare (the solar equivalent of a big belch).
However, if that were to happen, it would be bad news for the rest of the solar system: while Jupiter's mass is tiny compared to the Sun's, it's massive compared to every other planet and asteroid.
In the course of moving toward the sun, Jupiter's gravity would no doubt disturb the orbits of all of the inner rocky planets, including Earth; perhaps fatally. Worse, it would send a huge number of asteroids careening around the inner solar system, leading to potential meteorite impacts along the line of the one that destroyed the dinosaurs and reshaped our planet's history, 65 million years ago.
In short, no good could come of such an event.
December 21, 2020 is the day that Jupiter conjunction Saturn in the sky is at peak power. It doesn’t indicate that major events of the Jupiter-Saturn type will occur on that day. It does indicate that the covid-19 economic recovery, which involves living with the coronavirus, will be slow and prone to falter.
But possibly, Saturn COULD crash into Jupiter. All answers aren't always true, they don't always come true.
So it wouldn't be a yes or a no, it would be a maybe.

How large is Jupiter seen from Saturn?
Jupiter would appear as a bright point of light in Saturn's sky, similar to how Venus appears from Earth. It would be about 46 arcminutes in angular size, which is slightly larger than the size of the Moon as seen from Earth.
Which planet could float on a giant planet?
The planet Saturn could theoretically float on giant planet like Jupiter because Saturn has a lower density than Jupiter due to its composition being mostly gas and liquid. This would mean that Saturn would have the ability to "float" in the atmosphere of Jupiter, similar to how a boat floats on water.
What are all the gas giants in the solar system?
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus's, and Neptune.
How many times can Pluto fit in Saturn?
Approximately 764 Earth-sized planets, like Pluto, could fit inside Saturn. Saturn has a radius of about 9.45 times that of Earth while Pluto's radius is about 0.18 times that of Earth.
Which planet would be impossible for humans to land on and why?
It would be impossible to land on Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, or Neptune because none of these planets have definite surfaces.
Is Saturn the 1 largest planet?
No, that would be Jupiter.
would Saturn be a baseball if Jupiter was a basketball?
yes
Is Saturn the closest gas giant to the sun?
No. That would be Jupiter.
How large is Jupiter seen from Saturn?
Jupiter would appear as a bright point of light in Saturn's sky, similar to how Venus appears from Earth. It would be about 46 arcminutes in angular size, which is slightly larger than the size of the Moon as seen from Earth.
What would happen if a dwarf star crashed into a planet?
If a dwarf star crashed into a planet,the planet would likely explode.
Which planet appears biggest and brightest to the sun at noon Saturn or Pluto or Jupiter?
None of them would be visible. If one was - it would be Jupiter,
Is Jupiter more or less than halfway to Saturn from the sun?
Both Jupiter and Saturn vary their distance from the sun as they move in their orbits. Jupiter ranges from 4.9 to 5.4 AU from the sun Saturn ranges from 9.0 to 10,1 AU from the sun. So at times Jupiter is more than halfway to saturn from the sun and at other times it is less. It would probably be best to say that the orbit of Jupiter is about halfway from the sun to the orbit of Saturn
What would happen to a satellite if it went to close to Saturn?
It would crash on Saturn.
What would happen if there is spark in Jupiter's atmosphere?
nothing would happen because comets hit Jupiter when it is hot and it does not burn up it. if Jupiter was a a bit bigger it would start to glow.
What would happen if Mars crashed into the moon?
dooms day.
What would happen if an Airplane crashed?
Everyone on board would blow up
What is Jupiter's brightest object in the sky?
Even on Jupiter, or in the vicinity of Jupiter, the sun is still the brightest object in the sky. The brightest planet would be Saturn.
