Why cant the same planet have lots of mass and density?

We think it can. The earth's average density is more than 5.5 times the density of water, which we think qualifies as "lots of density". Also, the earth has a mass of 5,970,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilograms, which we really think is lots of mass.


Saturn?

The sixth planet from the sun and the second-largest planet in our solar system. It is a gas giant with an average radius of about nine-and-a-half times that of Earth. It has only one-eighth the average density of Earth, but is over 95 times more massive. Saturn has a pale yellow hue due to ammonia crystals in its upper atmosphere.


How many miles is planet Earth from planet Jupiter?

About 5,2 times that average distance from the Earth to the Sun (or 5,2 AU)


What is Uranus diameter compared to the Earth?

The equatorial diameter of the planet Uranus is 51,118 km(31,763 miles). The equatorial diameter of the planet Earth is 12,576 km (7,926 miles).Because of its thicker atmosphere, Uranus is therefore 4 times as wide as Earth, and its volume 63 times that of Earth. However, its much lower average density means that Uranus has only about 14 times Earth's mass.

If a giant planet has an average radius 14 times that of the earth and a mass 681 times that of the earth what is the ratio of the new planets density to the earth's density?

Volume increases with the Cube of the radius, so an easy way to compute the volume of the giant planet is to simply take the ratio of the radius Giant Planet: Earth and raise it to the 3rd power.Since these planets are the same shape (Spherical) this ratio is accurate enough for our purposes. In the case of an object that is oblate (like Saturn or Jupiter), one can still calculate the volume accurately by taking the Equatorial Radius squared and multiplying it by the Polar Radius.In this given case the volume of Giant Planet = 14 x 14 x 14, or 2,744x that of Earth.Since Mass = 681x that of Earth, Density = 681/2744 = 0.248 of Earth's (just a little under one quarter).You could go one step further to calculate the density of this object by multiplying the density ratio by Earth's density (5.515x water) - so Giant Planet's density = 1.369 grams/cm3.


How many sun's away is the earth to the sun?

The distance of planet earth from the sun is an average of about 100 times the sun's diameter.


What planet is 300 times size of earth?

No planet is. Jupiter, however, is 318 times the mass of Earth.


How can be Mercury's average density be 5.4 times that of water?

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.


Is the planet Jupiter the larger planet?

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun and the largest in the solar system. Named after the ruler of the gods in Roman mythology, Jupiter has 1400 times the volume of Earth but only 318 times more mass. Thus, the mean density of Jupiter is about one-fourth that of Earth, indicating that the giant planet must consist of gas rather than the metals and rocks of which the Earth and other inner planets are composed.


Which planet is some times called your sister planet?

Venus is the sister planet of the earth


How much would a 100 lb person weigh on a planet twice the mass of earth?

That would depend on the planet's radius. The strength of gravity depends on both the mass of the object in question and the distance from its center of mass. If the planet in question had the same radius as Earth, then the person would weigh 200 lbs as gravity would be twice as strong. If the planet had the same density as Earth it would have 1.26 times Earth's radius and gravity would be 1.26 times as strong and the person would weigh 126 lbs. If the planet had about 1.41 times Earth's radius then that person's would weight 100 lbs.
