Density is mass divided by volume. Jupiter has a very large volume - its diameter is 11 times the diameter of Earth, so its volume is about 1300 times larger. It is also more massive than Earth, but not 1300 times as massive, only about 300 times as massive.
There are four Jovian planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
Jovian planets are gas giants made mostly of hydrogen and helium, while terrestrial planets are rocky planets with solid surfaces. Jovian planets are much larger in size and have thick atmospheres, while terrestrial planets are smaller and have thinner atmospheres. Jovian planets have many moons and ring systems, while terrestrial planets have fewer moons and no rings.
The planets with higher density are the Terrestrial planets, which include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. These planets are composed mostly of rock and metal, resulting in a more compact and dense structure compared to the Jovian planets, which are gas giants made mostly of hydrogen and helium.
The jovian planets, like Jupiter and Saturn, contain large percentages of hydrogen and helium gases. These gases make up the majority of their composition and contribute to their massive size and low density compared to terrestrial planets.
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.
No. Terrestrial planets are much denser than Jovian planets.

Jovian Planets do not have a solid surface to stand on.
Inner planets are terrestrial planets outer are 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.
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.
Jovian planets are: -gaseous -farthest planets from the sun -largest planets
