Density of our Moon: 3.346 (g/cm3).

Density of planet Mercury: 5.427 (g/cm3).

So, yes, it is less dense.

Would a 5.0kg mass on on Earth and the moon be on Mercury?

A 5.0kg mass would have the same mass on both Earth and the moon. However, on Mercury, due to its different gravitational pull compared to Earth and the moon, the mass would still be 5.0kg, but it would weigh less on Mercury than on Earth or the moon.


Why is the specific gravity of mercury on the moon not the same as its specific gravity on earth?

The specific gravity of a substance depends on the acceleration due to gravity. Since the gravity is lower on the moon than on Earth, the specific gravity of mercury will be different between the two. On the moon, the weight of mercury would be less than on Earth due to the weaker gravitational pull, causing its specific gravity to be different.

How many times more massive is the Earth than the moon?

The Earth has 81 times the mass of the Moon, but is only 49.3 times larger by volume. This demonstrates the relatively less dense nature of the Moon compared to Earth, because it does not have the same large, dense iron core.

Is mercury or the moon closer to earth's size?

Mercury is larger than the moon and so is closer in size to Earth than the moon is. It should be noted that Mercury is closer in size to the moon than it is to Earth.


How far is the earths moon from mercury?

Varying from the the distance from the Earth to the Moon + the distance from the sun to the earth + the distance from mercury to the sun, to the distance from the earth to the sun - the distance from mercury to the sun - the distance from the earth to the moon


Is earth larger than mercury?

Mercury is almost the same size as the Moon. The Moon is smaller than Earth. Mercury is then smaller than Earth.
