The planets closer to the sun tend to have rocky crust and dense cores.
mars
The crust is the least dense. The inner core is the most dense. So from the middle outwards the layers get less and less dense
Mercury is considered the smallest rocky planet in our solar system. It has a rocky core and is closest to the Sun.
The inner core is the least dense out of the inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust. It is composed mostly of iron and nickel, making it very dense despite being solid.
The Earth's compositional layers in order of increasing density are the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The crust is the least dense layer, while the inner core is the most dense layer.

venusVenus
The four planets closest to the Sun all have rocky crusts and dense cores. These planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
Venus, Earth and possibly Mars. Mercury's density is too low for Mercury to have a dense core.
It would be Venus, because that planet is the only one that has a solid crust.
Because Mercury is one of the inner planets with a rocky crust and an Iron Core.
No, it has a dense rocky core in the middle!!
The crust is the least dense. The inner core is the most dense. So from the middle outwards the layers get less and less dense
The outer core, inner core, mantle, crust, water, atmosphere. This is the order from densest to least dense.
inner core outter core mantle and crust
Mercury is considered the smallest rocky planet in our solar system. It has a rocky core and is closest to the Sun.
The inner core is the least dense out of the inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust. It is composed mostly of iron and nickel, making it very dense despite being solid.
