What outer gas giant has the lowest density?
Saturn has the lowest density of any planet, terrestial or gas giant.
What planet's density is so low?
All the gas giants; in our Solar System, Saturn has the lowest density (less than the density of water).
What is the formula for density of a planet?
Density of a planet = (Planet's mass) divided by (Planet's volume)
What parameters can tell you about a planet's composition?
Parameters such as mass, radius, and density can provide clues about a planet's composition. For example, a high density suggests a rocky composition, while a low density suggests a more gas-rich composition. Additionally, spectroscopy can be used to analyze the planet's atmosphere and determine the presence of certain elements or compounds.
Is neptune a gas planet or gas planet?
a gas planet
What planet is the least dense of the gas giants?
Saturn is the least dense of the gas giants, even out of all of the planets in our solar system. Its average density is around 0.7 g/cc (less than water).
Is a planet is mostly composed of gas is it more or less dense?
A planet composed mostly of gas is less dense than a rocky planet. The gas planets of our solar system range in density from 0.69-1.6 g/cm^3. By comparison the terrestrial planets have densities of 3.9-5.5 g/cm^3
Which planet has the lowest density besides saturn?
Mercury has the second lowest density of any planet in the solar system. Saturn has the lowest density of any other planet.
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.
What is the density of the planet Saturn compared to the planet Earth?
Earth's density: 5520 kg/m3 Saturn's density: 690 kg/m³
What planet has low density because it contains of iron and helium?
The planet with the lowest overall density is Saturn.
Why does the density of Saturn is much less than earth's even though it is much bigger in size?
Saturn is a planet made out of mostly gas. As gas has little mass, it is less dense than Earth. Remember that density is proportional to its mass and surface area.
