Why does Mercury have an average density that is close to that of earth even though Mercury is a smaller planet?
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.
Is Mercury a low density planet?
Mercury is a high density planet. It has the second highest density of all the planets in the solar system.
What planet is smaller than mercury?
No known planet is smaller than Mercury since Pluto was reclassified as a Dwarf Planet.
Which Planet has the highest uncompressed density?
Mercury
Is the planet Mercury smaller than earth?
Yes it is.
Why does mercury has an average density thst is close to earth. even though mercury is a much a smaller planet?
Why shouldn't it? There isn't a direct relationship between density and size in general.

What is smaller than mercury?
No known planet is smaller than Mercury since Pluto was reclassified as a Dwarf Planet.
How dense is the planet mercury?
The density of Mercury is 5.4 grams per cc, only a little lower than that of the densest planet - Earth. One of the reasons that the Earth is denser is that its own gravity compresses its material more than it does in the smaller planet, Mercury. If adjustment were made for this gravitational compression, then Mercury would have a density of approx 5.3 g per cc compared to the Earth's 4.4 making Mercury the densest planet.
Which planet is smaller Mercury Venus Mars or Uranus?
