What is the order of the planets from most dense to least dense?
Saturn is mainly composed of the lightest two gases known, hydrogen and helium. It is the only planet in our solar system whose density is less than water….Planetary Densities.
| Planet | Average Density (gm/cm3) | Required Mass for 70 cm3 (gm) |
|---|---|---|
| Earth | 5.5 | 385.0 |
| Mars | 3.9 | 273.0 |
| Jupiter | 1.3 | 91.0 |
| Saturn | 0.7 | 49.0 |
Which planet has the highest density in our Solar System?
Earth
Density of Earth: Earth has the highest density of any planet in the Solar System, at 5.514 g/cm3. This is considered the standard by which other planet’s densities are measured. In addition, the combination of Earth’s size, mass and density also results in a surface gravity of 9.8 m/s².
How dense is Jupiter?
1.33 g/cm³
Jupiter/Density
Is Mercury the least dense planet?
Earth is the densest planet in our Solar System, but Mercury’s uncompressed density is even higher than the Earth’s. Q: Which is the least dense planet? The least dense planet in our Solar System is Saturn.
What is the least densest thing in the universe?
Hydrogen is the least dense of all elements.
Is a black hole stronger than a star?
Here the answer is easy: The gravitational pull becomes infinite at the event horizon (from a certain point of view), Neutron stars have very strong, but not an infinitely strong pull so the gravitational pull of a black hole is greater than a neutron star.
Which planet has the lowest density?
Saturn has the lowest density of any planet in our solar system. It has a rocky core composed of liquid metallic hydrogen and elements consistent with the primordial solar nebula (gaseous cloud) that formed the solar system.
Which planet in your solar system has the greatest density?
To the best of our knowledge and with the best measurements at our disposal, we have determined that Earth is the densest planet of all in the Solar System: about 2% denser than Mercury and about 5% denser than Venus. No other planet, moon, or even asteroid comes close. (NASA)
What is the second densest planet in the Solar System?
Mercury is the smallest planet in the Solar System, measuring just 4879 km across at its equator. However, it is second densest planet in the Solar System, with a density of 5.427 g/cm 3 – which is the second only to Earth.
Which planet’s density is closest to the Sun’s?
The four terrestrial planets or the planets closest to the sun, are considered the densest planets in the Universe, with earth topping the list. These planets, namely, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, are made of silicate rock that surrounds an iron-nickel core.
