  • Pluto vs. Terrestrial Planets: Density Comparison & Composition
    No, Pluto is not denser than the terrestrial planets.

    Here's why:

    * Terrestrial planets are rocky and have high densities due to their composition of metals and silicates. Examples include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.

    * Pluto is classified as a dwarf planet and is primarily composed of rock and ice. Its density is much lower than the terrestrial planets.

    Density Comparison:

    * Earth: 5.52 g/cm³

    * Venus: 5.24 g/cm³

    * Mars: 3.93 g/cm³

    * Mercury: 5.43 g/cm³

    * Pluto: 2.03 g/cm³

    As you can see, Pluto's density is significantly lower than any of the terrestrial planets.
