What is the densest planet in our solar system?
Question:
Answer:
The Earth is the densest planet. Saturn is the least dense planet; it would float on water
We are on the most dense planet in the solar system.
I don't think we know for certain; most believe it's Earth, others say Jupiter, still others say Mercury.
Earth, with a density of 5.52. However, that is not entirely due to Earth's composition, but partly to the weight of the outer layers pressing down on and compressing the lower layers. Counting only the composition, Mercury is slightly denser.
If you do not count atmosphere,, Mercury.
venus
Mercury's density is 5.43
Venus 5.24
Earth 5.51
Mars 3.93
Jupiter 1.326
Saturn 0.687
Neptun 1.638
Uranus 1.270
The earth is the densest planet. I was surprised. I thought Mercury was.
Astronomers have always considered that Earth is the most dense planet in our Solar system. Although there have been no chemical measurements of relative density of all the planets so far, it has been only recently debated that Mercury is the densest planet in our solar system. Mercury is the innermost planet and probably consists mostly of iron. It orbits the sun in 87.969 days and revolves about its axis in two - thirds of the orbital period, 58.646 days.
Earth is the most dense because of it's Iron core. Lots of the inhabitants on it are dense as well.
