We think it can.
The earth's average density is more than 5.5 times the density of water,
which we think qualifies as "lots of density".
Also, the earth has a mass of 5,970,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilograms,
which we really think is lots of mass.
Density of a planet = (Planet's mass) divided by (Planet's volume)
the planet's mass and volume using the formula density = mass / volume. By measuring these properties, scientists can determine the density of a planet, which gives insights into its composition and internal structure.
mass and density
Yes, but also on its diameter. Or density if you prefer.
Mass of Planet X divided by volume of Planet X
No, its depends on the planets gravitational pull
To find the mass of a liquid, you need to know its density. Once you have the density, you can use the formula: mass = volume x density. Simply multiply the volume in milliliters by the density in g/ml to get the mass in grams.
To find the density, you need both the mass and the radius of the planet or star. The mass can be found if the orbital radius and period of any of the body's satelites are known. If not, thth masses of most bodies can be looked up. The only way of finding the radius is to look it up or to measure it directly, or through spectroscopy. Once you have both values, you use the equation density = mass/volume. Mass is mass, and (assuming the object is spherical) volume is 4/3 * pi * r^3.
volume. This gives the average density of each planet, which varies depending on the planet's composition and structure.
Venus is the planet most similar to Earth in size, mass, volume, and density. It is often referred to as Earth's "sister planet" due to these similarities despite having a very different atmosphere and surface conditions.
Use the formula Density = Mass/Volume. If you cant plug in the values...then your professor is not doing his job well.
Astronomical observation can tell us two fundamental aspects of a planet -- its diameter and the extent to which it disturbs the orbits of other nearby planets or moons. That extent of disturbance of its neighbors indirectly tells us the mass of the planet (the disturbance will be proportionally larger with a larger mass). Given the diameter, we can infer the volume. Divide the volume by the mass and we realize the density of a given planet.
