how can earth be the densest of the three when uranus and neptune have so much more mass than earth does?

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Density is not defined by mass, but how compact the mass is of a given planet. Earth has lots of heavy metals in it's core.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well first of all who said that earth is the densest ?

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Luis, I am God. I said it was. Therefore I am right.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

density is mass per unit volume. so if the mass is greater but the volume is even greater, then the density would decline.
