The four inner, terrestrial or rocky planets all have similar densities, much higher than the four outer gas giant planets (though the outer planets are much larger and more massive).

Venus is most similar in size and mass to which planet?

Venus is most similar in size and mass to Earth. Both planets are considered terrestrial planets and have similar compositions and densities, which is why they are often referred to as "sister planets."


Which two planets are similar in composition?

Venus and Earth have similar compositions, both being terrestrial planets with rocky surfaces. They also have similar densities, indicating similar compositions of silicate rock and metal elements.


Venus has about the same size and mass as what?

It is near Earth in size. About 81.5% of Earth's mass.


Which three worlds have almost identical densities?

Earth, Venus, and Mars have almost identical densities, with values around 5.2 grams per cubic centimeter. This similarity in density is due to these planets having similar compositions of rock and metal materials.


What Planets are small rocky and have high densities?

mercury, Venus and earth


Which planets are called terrestrial and why?

Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are called terrestrial planets because they have solid, rocky surfaces similar to Earth's. These planets are located closer to the Sun, have higher densities, and are composed primarily of silicate rocks and metals.


What are 3 ways inner planets are alike?

The four inner, rocky planets are also known as the terrestrial planets. These are; Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The inner planets all have a clear solid surface, unlike gaseous planets. The inner planets do not have a ring system. The inner planets are of similar densities.


Do the densities of the solar system planets fall into two or more groups?

Yes, the densities of the solar system planets can generally be grouped into two categories: terrestrial planets (such as Earth, Venus, Mars, and Mercury) with higher densities due to their rocky compositions, and the gas giant planets (such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) with lower densities due to their gaseous compositions.


Which planet are known as twin planets why?

Venus and Earth are known as twin planets because they are similar in size and have a similar composition. They are both terrestrial planets with rocky surfaces and similar densities. Additionally, they are located relatively close to each other in the solar system.


Define Gas Giant Jovian planets?

they are larger than earth and have low densities.


Which two planets are most alike?

Venus and Earth are the most alike in terms of size, composition, and proximity to the sun. Both planets have similar densities and rocky surfaces. Venus is often referred to as Earth's "sister planet" due to these similarities.


How do the densities of the planets change as you travel from mercury to Neptune?

The densities of the planets generally decrease as you travel from Mercury to Neptune. Mercury and Earth have similar average densities, while Venus and Mars have lower densities. The gas giants - Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune - have much lower average densities due to being composed mostly of hydrogen and helium gases.
