the metal's density is greater because the metal's atoms are heavier than the water molecules. Students may also infer that the metal's density is greater because the metal atoms are more closely packed than the water molecules.

The average density of Earth is 5540 kg/m3 or 5.54 g/cm3. This is found by dividing the mass of Earth 5.98×1024 kg by its volume 1.08×1021 m3.

The SI standard for density is kg/m3. (Thanks to another contributer for the above)

Water has a density of 1.000 g/cm3 at 4 deg C. So, the earth is, on average 5.54 times denser than water.

Truly i have no idea because if you think about it, when you get cold you want to get closer together, and when you are hot you want to spread out. Well with this its the opposite.

But here the answer...

Curiously, water is the only nonmetallic substance on Earth whose density in solid form is less than its density in liquid form.

From Wikipedia: Liquid water is most dense, essentially 1.00 g/cm³, at 4 °C and becomes less dense as the water molecules begin to form the hexagonal crystals of ice as the temperature drops to 0 °C. This is due to hydrogen bonds forming between the water molecules, which line up molecules less efficiently (in terms of volume) when water is frozen. Water, When In Solid State, Has Dominant Hydrogen Bonds Existing Between Its Molecules Which Are Very Strong. In Solid State, When The Water Molecules Come Close To Each Other, Hydrogen From One Molecule (Being Charged Partially Positive) Attracts The Lone Pair Of Electrons From The Oxygen Of The Neighboring Molecule With Much Greater Force. As A Result, The Bond Angle Of Water Molecule (109.5, Which Existed Due To The Lone Pair Repulsion) Now Increases As The Lone Pair Is Now Attracted More Towards Hydrogen (Away From The Oxygen Atom). Now, We Know That Density = Mass / Volume. When Bond Angle Increases, This Implies That The Molecular Structure Has Expanded (Greater Volume). Greater Volume, Therefore Lower Density. In Liquid Phase, Water Has Weak Hydrogen Bonds Existing, But In The Solid Phase Strong Hydrogen Bonds Exist.

The density of ice is NOT greater than the density of water. When water freezes it expands, therefore the density decreases. This is easily observable because ice floats on water, therefore density of ice is less than the density of liquid water.

Jupiter is composed mainly of gas where the Earth is composed of terrestrial solids.

Since solids are denser than gas, we can conclude Earth is denser than Jupiter

What is more dense radon or water?

Radon is a gas, water is a liquid. Under the same conditions radon should be many hundreds of times less dense than water. Water's density at STP is about 1 000 kg/m3. Radon's density at STP is about 9.73g/m3. Thus, water is about 103 times denser than radon.

How many times liquids denser than gases?

The density varies from matter to matter. For eg. Iron sinks in water but if you put iron in liquid mercury at room temperature, it may float. Thus properties of matter extremely varies and thus it is impossibe to decide that How many time s a liquid is denser than solids.

The question cannot be answered because liquids do not have the same density. For example, mercury is around 13.6 times denser than water and so the mass of 25 cubic metres of mercury will be 13.6 times that of the same volume of water.
