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.
Anong the eight planets which have the largest size and least density?
The four Jovian planets
Is the average density of terrestrial planets the same density as Jovian planet?
No. Terrestrial planets are much denser than Jovian planets.
What planet is very large has a thick atmosphere and low density?
Saturn is the least dense out of all of the planets in our solar system. Its average density is around 0.7 g/cc (less than water). It also has a thick Hydrogen/Helium atmosphere.
The average density of the massive Jovian planets is?
The average density of Jupiter is 1.3 (g/cm3), which is about one fourth as dense as the planet Earth. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and the closest gas giant to the sun.
Which inner planet has the greatest density?
The Earth has the greatest average density, of all the planets.
Do the largest planets have the largest densities?
No, size does not go with density. The Earth is the most dense planet in the solar system, but it is the 4th smallest planet.
Which rocky planet has the lowest average density?
Mars is the least dense of the rocky planets.
What is the outer most region of a planets atmosphere in which the density is low enough that the lighter atmospheric atoms can escape into space?
The Exosphere
How can the density of our planets be explained with mathematical formulae?
The density of a planet depends basically on the density of the materials that make the planet up. It is a weighted average of those densities.
Why would the average densities of the four large outer planets be so low when compared with the average densities of the inner planets?
Because the outer planets are composed of mainly gas or ice, whereas the inner planets are composed of rock which has a higher density.
What do astronomers use to determine the difference between rocky and gaseous planets?
Average density of the planet
