Saturn, Uranus, Jupiter, and Neptune have the lowest densities. Generally, the gas and ice giants have the lowest densities.
Saturn has the lowest density of 0.687 g/cm³ which is less dense than water, whereas Neptune has a density of 1.638 g/cm³
The Earth for comparison has a density of 5.515 g/cm3

∙ 12y agothe gas giants- Jupiter, Saturn and the ice giants- Uranus and Neptune. These are much larger and more massive than the inner planets, but their densities (weight per unit volume) are much lower compared with the inner planets. Saturn's density is so less that it could float on water if there was a big enough water body to hold it

Is the average density of terrestrial planets the same density as Jovian planet?
No. Terrestrial planets are much denser than Jovian planets.
Which outer planet has the lowest density of all the planets in the solar system?
Mercury is the smallest of the four inner planets and closest to the sun. It is also the smallest of all eight planets.
Anong the eight planets which have the largest size and least density?
The four Jovian planets
What planets are considered high density planets?
Mercury Venus Earth Mars.
What are two differences between Jovian planets and Terrestial planets?
The gas giants ("Jovian planets") are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. Unlike the terrestrial planets, these planets:Are quite a bit largerConsist mainly of gasDon't have a surface on which you might standContain more hydrogen and helium, and less of the heavier elementsHave a lower density
How do Jovian and terrestrial planets compare?
Jovian planets are more massive and lower in average density. Terrestrial planets are smaller and higher in average density.
Is the density of mars similar to other terrestrial planets?
no it is lower
Do gaseous planets have density?
Well, some planets, such as Mercury, have little density. For example, the amount of density in oil compared to water. That scenario is an example of the amount of density that you might expect on such planets as Venus.
Which planets are lighter than earth?
The planets that have less mass than Earth are Mercury, Mars and Venus. The planets that have a lower average density than Earth are all of them; Earth is the most dense planet in our solar system.
Is the average density of terrestrial planets the same density as Jovian planet?
No. Terrestrial planets are much denser than Jovian planets.
Who has higher density inner planets or outer planets?
Inner planets
Which planets have density?
All of them. Anything with mass has density.
Are the planets that have a higher density the Terrestrial planets or the Jovian planets?
The Terrestrial planets have a higher density. Their structure includes a large percentage of rock, while the Jovian planets are composed mostly of gas.
Which outer planet has the lowest density of all the planets in the solar system?
Mercury is the smallest of the four inner planets and closest to the sun. It is also the smallest of all eight planets.
Anong the eight planets which have the largest size and least density?
The four Jovian planets
What planets are considered high density planets?
Mercury Venus Earth Mars.
