Because in the solid state, the molecules are packed tighter than in the liquid or gaseous states. Since density is mass per unit volume, you can can a greater mass in a smaller volume due to this tight packing, and thus, the density is greater.

Which state of matter has the strongest forces of attraction between particles?
The state of matter that has the strongest bond is called a solid. Liquids are another state of matter, however, they provide the weakest bond.
What is the state of matter of lithosphere?

What is the state of matter of oceanic crust?
It is in a solid state of matter. Unlike the deeper rocks of the mantle, crustal rocks do not readily deform, and heating from below will cause the lowest layers to melt into magma...which being less dense tends to flow upward.
Which physical state of matter is the densest?
