Certainly - all matter has density. The density of a gas planet would probably be less than that of a more solid planet but it would still have a non-zero density.

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.


What does the least dense planet mean?

The phrase "least dense planet" refers simply to the planet with the lowest density, which is the planet's mass divided by its volume. In our solar system, Saturn is the least dense planet with a density of roughly 0.7 (water, by comparison, has a density of 1, or 1 gram per cubic centimeter). This is attributed to its large outer envelope of gas - although it is thought to have a denser rocky core.
