Is a planet closer to the sun more dense than a planet far from the sun?

no because the closer to the sun the hotter the planet and if the planet gets that hot the more steam there is on the planet so therefore it will be dry ____________________ Yes, as a general rule. Scientists think that the reason that the inner planets are 'rocky' while the outer planets are 'gas giants' is because the solar winds blew gaseous materials farther out, leaving the dense rocky material closer to it. When the planets formed out of the resulting accretion disk, the rocky planets formed nearer the sun, and the huge clouds of gas farther out coalesced into the outer planets.

Mercury is the first planet from the sun, and Earth is the third planet from the sun; Venus is the second planet from the sun, making it farther than Mercury but closer than Earth.
Is the moon closer to earth than any planet?
there is a moon for every planet
Is the earth moon less dense than mercury?
Density of our Moon: 3.346 (g/cm3). Density of planet Mercury: 5.427 (g/cm3). So, yes, it is less dense.
What planet is the least dense of the gas giants?
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 Earth is the densest planet in the Solar System Is it denser or less dense than water?
Earth is more than 5 times denser than water. Of all the planets in the solar system, only Saturn is less dense than water.
Is iron more dense than plastic?
Yes. Iron is more dense than plastic because its particles are closer together.
Is water or ice more dense?
Water is more dense than ice because it's molecules are closer together.
How is Saturn more dense than other planets?
Actually, Saturn is the least dense of all planets, the only planet less dense than water, at 687.00 kg/m³.
What planet's orbit is so eccentric that at perihelion it is closer to the sun than Neptune?
Pluto - though its no longer classed as a planet, more a dwarf planet. For 20 years of its 246 year orbit, it is actually closer to the sun than Neptune
Which planet is further from the Sun than Earth but closer than Jupiter?
Planet Mars.
Which planet is closer to the sun than you are?
Both Mercury and Venus are closer to the Sun than we are (Earth).
Is the moon closer than Toronto?
No matter where you go on this planet, Toronto is closer to you than the moon.
Which planet is closer to the sun than earth but farther from the sun than mercury?
Mercury is the first planet from the sun, and Earth is the third planet from the sun; Venus is the second planet from the sun, making it farther than Mercury but closer than Earth.
Which is the only planet in the Solar System that is less dense than water?
That is the planet Saturn.
Why would it be hard to discover a planet thay is closer to the sun than Mercury?
Why would it be hard to discover a planet that is closer to the sun than mercury
Why cold objects weigh more than the hot objects?
Cold water weighs more than hot water because it is more dense at a colder temperature. The strange thing about this behavior is that once the water freezes and forms ice, the ice is less dense than the water.
Is Jupiter less dense than water?
No, the only planet in the solar system less dense than water is Saturn.
