🧱 Planet Density Calculator

Mass divided by volume reveals what a world is made of — rock, gas, or ice.

Results

Average density
5,513.26 kg/m³
Earth check: ~5,514 kg/m³ · Water: 1,000 kg/m³

How it works

ρ = M / (4/3 π R³)

Earth is the densest planet (5,514 kg/m³) because gravity compresses its iron-nickel core. Saturn is so light (687 kg/m³) it would float in a big enough ocean.

Assumptions: Spherical planet, average density.
