How does the density of the Galilean moons vary with increasing distance from Jupiter?
From what I have read, the closer one of the Galilean Moons is to Jupiter, the hotter is their interior (as a result of tidal heating due to Jupiter's gravity). The outer ones have more of an ice core. The inner ones less. When it melts, the water makes it way to the surface being less dense than the surrounding rock, and evaporates off, leaving the heavier rock forming most of the crust. Therefore the more dense the inner Galilean Moons.

Why is Saturn almost as big as Jupiter, despite its smaller mass?
Saturn's lower density compared to Jupiter is the main reason why it is almost as big despite having a smaller mass. This lower density results in Saturn's gases being spread out over a larger volume, giving it a similar size to Jupiter.
Do you float on Jupiter?
No, you would not float on Jupiter because it is a gas giant planet with no solid surface like Earth. If you were to somehow descend into Jupiter's atmosphere, the increasing pressure and density of the gases would eventually crush you before you reached any point where you could float.
How does increasing the density of a gas affect the pressure?
By increasing the density of a gas its air pressure will subsequently increase.
Which planet below has the lowest density?
Jupiter
Which planet's density is closest to the sun's?
Jupiter's
Do the densities of the Galilean moons increase with distance from Jupiter just as the densities of the planets increase with distance from the Sun?
To answer the question very literally: Yes. The Galilean satellites follow the same pattern of density versus increasing distance from Jupiter that the planets' density follows versus distance from the sun. The specific pattern is: No pattern at all. Earth ... 3rd from the sun ... is the most dense planet, while Saturn ... 6th planet from the sun ... is the least dense. So there is no "just as" to compare to.
Is the density of the inner Galilean satellites greater than the outer satellites?
Yes. The density of the Galilean moons decreases with increasing distance from the planet. This decrease in density is likely due to the higher ice-to-rock ratio in the farther moons.

Saturn's lower density compared to Jupiter is the main reason why it is almost as big despite having a smaller mass. This lower density results in Saturn's gases being spread out over a larger volume, giving it a similar size to Jupiter.
What is the mean density of Jupiter?
Jupiter's average density is 1.33 g/cm^3
What is Jupiter's density comared to earth's density?
Jupiter's density is about 1.3 g/cm3 . Earth's is about 5.5 g/cm3 .

Which planet has the least density?
Jupiter.
Does Jupiter have the lowest density?
No. In our solar system, Saturn has the lowest density.
How does increasing the density of a gas affect the pressure?
By increasing the density of a gas its air pressure will subsequently increase.
Which planet has low density and 31 moons?
either saturn or jupiter but your best bet is jupiter
What happens to density at higher altitudes?
The density of air decreases at higher altitudes.
Which planet below has the lowest density?
Jupiter
