To find the density, you need both the mass and the radius of the planet or star. The mass can be found if the orbital radius and period of any of the body's satelites are known. If not, thth masses of most bodies can be looked up. The only way of finding the radius is to look it up or to measure it directly, or through spectroscopy. Once you have both values, you use the equation density = mass/volume. Mass is mass, and (assuming the object is spherical) volume is 4/3 * pi * r^3.

Can a M-class planet survive in a nebula if with a small star?

Yes, an M-class planet can survive in a nebula, especially if it orbits a small star. The planet's ability to maintain its atmosphere and conditions for habitability would depend on factors such as the density and composition of the nebula, the intensity of radiation from the star, and the planet's distance from the star. If conditions are favorable, the nebula might even provide some protection from cosmic radiation, allowing the planet to thrive.
