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.
What else can I help you with?
Which planet has the lowest average density?
Saturn:)Saturn is the least dense of the gas giants, even out of all of the planets in our solar system. Its average density is around 0.7 g/cc (less than water)
The average density of the massive Jovian planets is?
The average density of Jovian (gas giant) planets like Jupiter and Saturn is low compared to terrestrial planets like Earth. Their densities are around 1-2 grams per cubic centimeter due to being primarily composed of hydrogen and helium gases with small rocky cores.
Compared to the density of liquid water 1 gram. what is the average range of density in the terrestrial planets?
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.
Which planets in the solar system have an average density less than that of water?
It is said that if you could find an ocean on Earth large enough to accommodate it, Saturn would float. That is, Saturn's average density is less than the density of water. Turns out it's the only planet with an average density less than 1.000, that is, less than the density of water.
What information can be gathered from the planet density chart?
The planet density chart provides information about the relative densities of different planets in our solar system. By comparing the densities of the planets, we can understand their composition and internal structure. Planets with higher densities are likely to have more solid materials, while planets with lower densities may have more gases or lighter materials. This information can help scientists learn more about the formation and evolution of planets.
Is the average density of terrestrial planets the same density as Jovian planet?
No. Terrestrial planets are much denser than Jovian planets.
Which inner planet has the greatest density?
The Earth has the greatest average density, of all the planets.
How can the density of our planets be explained with mathematical formulae?
The density of a planet depends basically on the density of the materials that make the planet up. It is a weighted average of those densities.
Which rocky planet has the lowest average density?
Mars is the least dense of the rocky planets.
What do astronomers use to determine the difference between rocky and gaseous planets?
Average density of the planet
What is earths density?
Earth's average density is about 5.52 grams per cubic centimeter. This density is determined by the distribution of material in Earth's layers, with the denser iron-nickel core contributing to the overall value. Earth's density is higher than that of most other planets in our solar system.
What planet is less dense than the rest of the planets?
Saturn, with an average density of 0.7 g/cc.
Which planet has the lowest average density?
Saturn:)Saturn is the least dense of the gas giants, even out of all of the planets in our solar system. Its average density is around 0.7 g/cc (less than water)
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.
The average density of the massive Jovian planets is?
The average density of Jovian (gas giant) planets like Jupiter and Saturn is low compared to terrestrial planets like Earth. Their densities are around 1-2 grams per cubic centimeter due to being primarily composed of hydrogen and helium gases with small rocky cores.
What planets orbit is farthest from earths?
Neptune is the outermost planet, and is farthest from Earth's orbit.
Compared to the density of liquid water 1 gram. what is the average range of density in the terrestrial planets?
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.
