Compared to the density of liquid water 1 gram. what is the average range of density in the terrestrial planets?
Cvrom
The density of water in terrestrial depends on many different factors. The density can only be determined based on the planet's history, they may have "water", but there could be other things inside. Also the gravity of the planet play a role of the density of the water.

How do Jovian and terrestrial planets compare?
Jovian planets are more massive and lower in average density. Terrestrial planets are smaller and higher in average density.
What average density do the terrestrial planets have?
Average densities for the four inner or terrestrial planets are; Mercury 5.43g/cc Venus 5.24g/cc Earth 5.515g/cc Mars 3.94g/cc
Are the planets that have a higher density the Terrestrial planets or the Jovian planets?
The Terrestrial planets have a higher density. Their structure includes a large percentage of rock, while the Jovian planets are composed mostly of gas.
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.
Is the density of mars similar to other terrestrial planets?
no it is lower
How do Jovian and terrestrial planets compare?
Jovian planets are more massive and lower in average density. Terrestrial planets are smaller and higher in average density.
Is the average density of terrestrial planets the same density as Jovian planet?
No. Terrestrial planets are much denser than Jovian planets.
What physical feature of Mars are atypical compared with the other terrestrial planets?
its Density

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 is the most obvious difference between the terrestrial and the Jovian planets?
The greatest difference is in their size. Gas giants are large but have a very low average density (much of their size includes their atmospheres). From a physical standpoint, terrestrial (rocky) planets have a solid exterior surface. Jovian (gas giant) planets instead exhibit a smooth range of increasing density, and do not have the abrupt change to solidity that terrestrial planets exhibit.
Is the density of mars similar to other terrestrial planets?
no it is lower
Which terrestrial planet is least dense?
There are for terrestrial planets which are also the planets nearest to the sun. The four terrestrial planets are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. The least dense planet among the four is Mars.
How does the chemical composition of the terrestrial planet atmospheres differ from the Jovian planets?
Jovian planets are less dense when they Are compared to terrestrial planets because they are Mostly composed of hydrogen gas.
What criteria are the planets placed into either the Jovian or terrestrial groups?
Size, density, composition, and the rate of the rotation are used to place the planets in either Jovian or Terrestrial.
Do the Jovian planets have lower average densities than the terrestrial planets?
Yes
