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.
