Average density is defined as total mass divided by total volume (note typo in box 7-1). If the average density of a planet is high (>3000 kg/m3), the planet is terrestrial. If it is low (<2000 kg/m3), the planet is probably Jovian. The average density can also gives an indication of the internal structure of a planet.07-Mar-2000
What is meant by the average density of a planet?
How do I find the average density of a planet?
When calculating the density of a planet, look up its mass and radius, the latter of which is the distance from the surface to the center. Because planets are roughly spherical, calculate the volume of a sphere using the radius. Then divide the mass by the volume of the sphere to get the density.
What is average density of the Earth?
5.51 g/cm³ Earth/Density
What is the average density of our planet in g cm3?
5.5 g/cm3 The radius of the Earth is 6371 km. It has an average density of 5.5 g/cm3.
What is the meaning of densest planet?
The calculated density of Earth shows that it is the densest planet in the Solar system. The reason for this large value of density is that the Earth does not have gaseous components and all of its mass is concentrated and compact. This reduces the volume of the planet and increases the density value.
What is the average density?
The mean or average density is the total mass of a region divided by the total volume of that region.
What is the average density of the core?
The density of the inner 'solid' core is between 9.9-12.2 g/cm3 and the outer core's density is between 12.6-13 g/cm3.
What is average density of Earth Class 11?
= 5.466 x 103 kg/m3.
What is the average density of Venus?
5.24 g/cm³ Venus/Density
