Is the average density of the sun near that of iron?
No. The average density of the Sun (or any object, for that matter) is found by dividing its mass by its volume. When we do this, we find that the Sun's density is 1.41 grams per cubic centimeter (only 41% denser than water). Iron has a density of 7.874 grams per cubic centimeter. So iron is over five times denser than the Sun. It's important to understand, however, that 1.41 grams per cubic centimeter is only the AVERAGE density of the Sun. Its core is much denser than that, while its outer layers are much less dense.
Does Saturn have less density than water?
Yes, Saturn has a lower average density than water. The average density of Saturn is around 0.69 grams per cubic centimeter, while the density of water is about 1 gram per cubic centimeter. This is primarily due to the large amounts of gases like hydrogen and helium that make up Saturn's composition.
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 is the density of the Sun?
The average density of the Sun is about 1.41 grams per cubic centimeter. This is much higher than the average density of the Earth because the Sun is composed mostly of hydrogen and helium gases under extreme pressure.
Does the moon have the same density than the earth?
no it is about 1/6 the density of the earth
Should a material have a higher or lower density to float in water?
A material needs a lower density than water to float in water. Ships float in water because their average density is lower than water. The average density includes the steel hull and the air inside the hull.
What is the density of the air in the stratosphere?
The density of air in the stratosphere is significantly lower than at lower altitudes due to decreasing temperature with altitude. On average, the density in the stratosphere is about 1/1000th of the density at sea level.
What is the average density of titan?
Take your mom's density and divide it by 9.999 x10 ^99.
Is it true that the moons average density is similar to the density of earths core?
No, the average density of Earth's Moon is about 3.3 g/cm^3, which is much lower than the average density of Earth's core. The core of the Earth is composed of mainly iron and nickel, giving it a much higher average density compared to the Moon.
What is special about Saturns density?
Saturn's density is so low that it can even float on water, it has the less density in all solar objects.
Why do fiber glass goats float?
There average density, probably because they are hollow, is lower than the density of the fluid they are floating on. When this occurs the goats are said to be buoyant.
What planet that a lower density than the density of water that causes it to float?
Saturn is the planet with a lower density than water, causing it to float if there were a large enough body of water for it to be placed in. Its average density is less than that of water due to its composition of mostly hydrogen and helium gases.
Does salt water have a lower density than water?
Yes, fresh water has a slightly lower density than salt water.
Does oil or water have a lower density?
Oil floats on water, and has a lower density.
What is the relationship between the density of water and the average density of Earth?
The density of water is lower than the average density of Earth. Earth's average density is higher due to the presence of heavier materials like iron and nickel in its core, while water is less dense because it is made up of lighter molecules like hydrogen and oxygen.
Do all animals have the same body density?
No, birds have a very light skeleton which makes their density lower so they can fly. Fish have an air bladder which increases their buoyancy (decreases density) so that fish body density is equal to water density. Fat animals have a lower average density than lean animals. Etc.
How does density affect buoyancy of an object?
If the average density of an object is less than water (1.0 g per mL) it will float in water, and if it is more than 1.0g/mL it will sink in water. So the lower the density, the greater the buoyancy.
