To find the density of any object, including a planet, you divide its mass by its
volume. Of course, obtaining those numbers might require a bit of ingenuity in
some cases.
Mercury - 5.43 gr/cm3
Venus - 5.24 gr/cm3
Earth - 5.515 gr/cm3
Mars - 3.940 gr/cm3
Jupiter - 1.33 gr/cm3
Saturn - 0.70 gr/cm3
Uranus - 1.30 gr/cm3
Neptune - 1.76 gr/cm3

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.
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
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.
Is the average density of terrestrial planets the same density as Jovian planet?
No. Terrestrial planets are much denser than Jovian planets.

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.
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.
What physical feature of Mars are atypical compared with the other terrestrial planets?
its Density
Which three planets are known as terrestrial planets because of there height density and rocky composition?
mercury,Venus and mars
Which three planets are known as terrestrial planets because of their high density and rocky composition?
Mercury, Mars, and Venus
What is a terrestrial planets?
a terrestrial planet is an object in space that resembles Earth in size , density, and in its mainly rocky composition
Which outer planet has the lowest density of all the planets in the solar system?
Mercury is the smallest of the four inner planets and closest to the sun. It is also the smallest of all eight planets.
