1. The chemical element has a density of 15,534 g/cm3 at 20 0C.
2. The planet Mercury has a density of 5,427 g/cm3.
How is Mercury's density is about high as the earths density
Why shouldn't it? There isn't a direct relationship between density and size in general.
Mercury comes in 2nd place - average density (5.44 g/cm3 == ==
After Earth, Mercury is he densest body in the solar system. This high density is due to the fact that the majority of Mercury's interior is probably composed of a large, iron core.
Earth has an even greater density than Mercury. Presumably, planets a core of dense materials (for example, the density of iron is 8 times that of water), which compensates a lighter (less dense) crust.
The specific gravity of Mercury is 13.56. The density of mercury is 13.534 grams per cubic centimeter. Density is usually the ratio to the density of a given reference material.
1. The density of mercury is 13 534 kg/m3.2. Mercury sink in water.
Mercury is a high density planet. It has the second highest density of all the planets in the solar system.
Mercury
Only objects with a density greater than density of mercury or oil.
That might be an indication that Mercury has a similar composition to Earth. For more details, check the Wikipedia articles on Earth, and Mercury, to see what is believed to be inside each planet.
Liquid Mercury is a liquid with the density 13,534 g/cm3.
