All planets in the Solar System are less than 2 billion miles from the Sun, except for Neptune, which is 2.8 billion miles away.

This answer does not consider Pluto, because it is no longer considered to be a regular planet.

Is Pluto denser than the terrestrial planets?

No. Pluto is significantly less dense than the terrestrial planets. A large portion of Pluto is made of ice, which is less dense than thr eock and metal that compose the terrestrial planets.


The Jovian planets are more massive but less dense than the terrestrial planets?

Yes, that is correct. The Jovian planets are composed mainly of gases like hydrogen and helium, making them less dense overall compared to the terrestrial planets which have solid surfaces. Additionally, the Jovian planets have much larger volumes due to their gaseous compositions, leading to their greater mass.


The densities of the Jovian planets are?

Much less than that of Earth. For example, Saturn's density is less than that of water; Jupiter's density is slightly larger than that of water.


What is smaller moons comets asteroids or planets?

Although comets appear very large when they are near the Sun because of the large dust cloud that follows behind them, they are actually the smallest of the objects listed. Comets typically have a diameter of less than 6 miles, which is much smaller than the typical diameter of the other objects listed above.


Are jovian planets thought to contain much less rocky material than the terrestrial planets?

Yes, Jovian planets are thought to contain much less rocky material compared to terrestrial planets. Jovian planets are primarily composed of gases like hydrogen and helium, with a small rocky core at their centers. Terrestrial planets, on the other hand, are predominantly made of silicate rocks and metals.

What planet has a diameter of less than 10000 miles?

Mars is a planet with a diameter of less than 10,000 miles, measuring approximately 4,212 miles (6,779 kilometers) across. It is the fourth planet from the Sun and is known for its reddish appearance due to iron oxide on its surface. Other planets in our solar system, such as Mercury and Venus, also have diameters under 10,000 miles.
