The densest planet in the Solar System is Earth.
The other inner planets - Mercury, Venus, and Mars - are only a bit less dense; all of them are much more dense than the four giant outer planets.
Mercury is nearest the Sun and is the second densest planet.

What is the rank of the terrestrial planets in order of density?
Earth is the most dense, Mercury is second, Venus is third, and Mars is the least dense.
What is the most dense planet in the solar system?
The Earth is the most dense planet in our solar system out of all eight planets.
Which planets in our solar system are more dense then earth?
Earth is the most dense at 5.54 grams/cubic centimeter 4 times as dense as the Sun
What type of telescope is most often used to map the surfaces of planets and moons?
The Meade LighBridge telescope is the most highly rated telescope available to scope the surfaces of the moon.
What are Earths layers from outermost going inward?
From most dense at the core to least dense proceeding outward.
Is Earth the least dense of all planets?
No. In fact it is the most dense planet. The least dense is Saturn.
Which jovian planet is most dense?
The Jovian planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus. Of these planets, Neptune is the most dense, at 1.638 grams per cubic centimeter.
What is the rank of the terrestrial planets in order of density?
Earth is the most dense, Mercury is second, Venus is third, and Mars is the least dense.
What is the most dense planet in the solar system?
The Earth is the most dense planet in our solar system out of all eight planets.
What is the densest planet known as?
The Earth is the most dense planet in our solar system out of all eight planets.
Which planets in our solar system are more dense then earth?
Earth is the most dense at 5.54 grams/cubic centimeter 4 times as dense as the Sun
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.
Why are the inner planets made of heavy materials?
The Inner Planets dense and rocky because they are close enough to the sun that the heat has driven off the free hydrogen and helium which forms most of the Gas Giant planets (and most of the universe). Only the heavier elements remain.
Which group of planets shares the most characteristics?
Both Jovian planets and Terrestrial planets share a similar amount of characteristics. For example, Jovian planets are gaseous, large and farthest from the sun. While Terrestrial planets are rocky, dense, closest to the sun and small (in comparison to Jovian planets). The two planets with the most similarities are Venus and Earth hence them being called "sister planets" due to to their similar masses.
What kind of ball bounces most when dropped at hard surface?
One made of dense but highly-elastic material.
What is the evidence for the black hole has the most density?
Stars and planets orbit around the most dense masses, that's why we orbit the sun. Our main source of evidence is that planets are orbiting and sometimes disappearing into what looks like nothing, but it is a black hole.
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.
