What factors does density depend on?

What factors does density depend on?

Density (d) depends upon the mass (m) and volume (v) of a substance. The mass depends upon the amount of matter in a substance, whereas volume is the amount of space that a substance takes up. Mathematically, density is equal to a ratio where d = m/v.

What are two factors that determine a materials density?

The 4 factors affecting the density of matter are its state of matter, air pressure, temperature and geometry of its molecules. The state of matter includes whether the body is solid, liquid or gas. Solids usually have higher density than liquids and gases.

What are the factors that do not affect the density?

Even though there is more molasses (mass) in test tube A, the molasses also takes up more space (volume). Therefore, the spacing between those tiny particles that make up the molasses is constant (does not change). In other words, the size or amount of a material/substance does not affect its density.

Why is Saturn not dense?

Planetary Sci. As you can see, at the low end density increases with mass, because the more massive a planet gets the more of its mass tends to be gas (hydrogen and helium) rather than rock and ice. Uranus and Neptune are mostly ice, and Saturn is mostly gas, so it’s less dense.

What is the force of gravity on Saturn?

10.44 m/s²

Does Saturn have any gravity?

The mass of Saturn is 95 times the mass of Earth. However, Saturn’s gravity is only 1.08 times the gravity on Earth because Saturn is such a large planet. An object weighing 100 lbs on Earth would weigh 108 lbs on Saturn. Saturn is less dense than water.

What is the average density of Saturn?

687 kg/m³

What planet has the lowest density?

Saturn

Does Saturn have a thick or thin atmosphere?

Atmosphere and Weather: One of the four gas giants, Saturn’s atmosphere is much like that of Jupiter’s. Like the other gas giants, Saturn’s surface to atmosphere interface is rather nebulous, and likely has a small, rocky core surrounded by a liquid and very thick atmosphere.

What is Jupiter’s mass?

1.898 × 10^27 kg (317.8 M⊕)
