Solution

To answer the question of which planets have densities higher than Jupiter, we need to first establish the density of Jupiter and then compare it with the densities of other planets in the solar system.

Densities of the Planets

  1. Jupiter: The density of Jupiter is approximately 1.33g/cm31.33 \, \text{g/cm}^3.
  2. Mercury: Approximately 5.43g/cm35.43 \, \text{g/cm}^3
  3. Venus: Approximately 5.24g/cm35.24 \, \text{g/cm}^3
  4. Earth: Approximately 5.52g/cm35.52 \, \text{g/cm}^3
  5. Mars: Approximately 3.93g/cm33.93 \, \text{g/cm}^3
  6. Saturn: Approximately 0.69g/cm30.69 \, \text{g/cm}^3
  7. Uranus: Approximately 1.27g/cm31.27 \, \text{g/cm}^3
  8. Neptune: Approximately 1.64g/cm31.64 \, \text{g/cm}^3

Analysis of the Densities

  • Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars all have densities higher than that of Jupiter.
  • Saturn and Uranus have densities lower than Jupiter.
  • Neptune has a density slightly higher than Jupiter.

Conclusion

Based on the densities compared to Jupiter’s:

  • Mercury: Yes, higher density
  • Venus: Yes, higher density
  • Earth: Yes, higher density
  • Mars: No, lower density
  • Saturn: No, much lower density
  • Uranus: No, lower density
  • Neptune: Yes, higher density

Final Answer

Thus, the planets with densities higher than Jupiter are:

  1. Mercury
  2. Venus
  3. Earth
  4. Neptune
