Mercury, Venus, and Mars are more dense than Earth. This means these planets have a greater mass-to-volume ratio, indicating a higher concentration of materials in their composition compared to Earth.
The Earth is the most dense planet in our solar system out of all eight planets.
The rank of terrestrial planets in order of density from highest to lowest is Mercury, Earth, Venus, and Mars. Mercury has the highest density due to its large iron core, while Mars has the lowest density among the terrestrial planets.
The greatest difference is in their size. Gas giants are large but have a very low average density (much of their size includes their atmospheres). From a physical standpoint, terrestrial (rocky) planets have a solid exterior surface. Jovian (gas giant) planets instead exhibit a smooth range of increasing density, and do not have the abrupt change to solidity that terrestrial planets exhibit.
Mercury and Pluto have the most elliptical orbits among the planets in our solar system. Mercury's orbit is the most eccentric, while Pluto's orbit is also highly elliptical due to its distance from the Sun and its eccentric orbit.
No. In fact it is the most dense planet. The least dense is Saturn.
The Jovian planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus. Of these planets, Neptune is the most dense, at 1.638 grams per cubic centimeter.

The Inner Planets dense and rocky because they are close enough to the sun that the heat has driven off the free hydrogen and helium which forms most of the Gas Giant planets (and most of the universe). Only the heavier elements remain.
The most obvious difference between terrestrial and jovian planets is their composition. Terrestrial planets are rocky and dense, while jovian planets are mostly composed of gases and lack a solid surface. Additionally, jovian planets are typically larger in size and have extensive ring systems.
Stars and planets orbit around the most dense masses, that's why we orbit the sun. Our main source of evidence is that planets are orbiting and sometimes disappearing into what looks like nothing, but it is a black hole.
No, size does not go with density. The Earth is the most dense planet in the solar system, but it is the 4th smallest planet.

the most dense is steel and aluminium.
