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.

What 4 planets in the solar system have the largest densities?

In order they are : Mercury , Venus , Earth , Mars.


Do the densities of the solar system planets fall into two or more groups?

Yes, the densities of the solar system planets can generally be grouped into two categories: terrestrial planets (such as Earth, Venus, Mars, and Mercury) with higher densities due to their rocky compositions, and the gas giant planets (such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) with lower densities due to their gaseous compositions.


How do the densities of the jovian planets compare with the densities of the terrestrial planets?

Although a lot more massive, the four outer gas giant planets are less dense than the inner rocky planets. The densities of the four inner planets are between 3.94 g/cm3 to 5.515 g/cm3, ehile the outer gas planet densities range from 0.7 g/cm3 to 1.76 g/cm3.


Which planets have densities similar to earth?

The four inner, terrestrial or rocky planets all have similar densities, much higher than the four outer gas giant planets (though the outer planets are much larger and more massive).


Do the Jovian planets have lower average densities than the terrestrial planets?

Yes, the Jovian planets have lower average densities compared to the terrestrial planets. This is because the Jovian planets are mainly composed of gases and icy materials, while the terrestrial planets are composed of solid rock and metal.


Why would the average densities of the four large outer planets be so low when compared with the average densities of the inner planets?

Because the outer planets are composed of mainly gas or ice, whereas the inner planets are composed of rock which has a higher density.


Why are the densities of the terrestrial and jovian planets so different?

The terrestrial planets are primarily composed of rock and the jovian planets are mostly gas (primarily Hydrogen). Rock has a higher density than Hydrogen, giving the terrestrial planets a higher density.


What Planets are small rocky and have high densities?

mercury, Venus and earth


What are some characteristics of Jovian planets?

Jovian planets are large and gaseous, with thick atmospheres composed mainly of hydrogen and helium. They have low densities and lack solid surfaces. Jovian planets are typically located farther from the sun than terrestrial planets.


Explain how the inner planets are different from the outer planets?

The inner planets, also called terrestrial planets, are closer to the Sun and have solid surfaces, while the outer planets, known as gas giants, are farther from the Sun and composed mostly of gas. Inner planets are smaller and have higher densities, while outer planets are much larger and have lower densities. Additionally, inner planets have few or no moons, while outer planets have numerous moons.


Define Gas Giant Jovian planets?

they are larger than earth and have low densities.
