Question 11 which object seems to fit the following trend the least: higher density closer to the sun, lower density farther from the sun? a) jupiter b) mercury c) neptune d) pluto

Mercury is considered to be most densest and Jupiter has least

Explanation:

As being a terrestrial planet mercury has a density of 5.427g/cm cube only slightly less than earth. As mercury is smaller as compared to the earth its thinner regions are subjected to fewer compressions and thus high density is believed to be of the iron-rich core. As nickel and iron are believed to make up 70% planet ms higher than other planets while the mass of silicate rocks account for 30%. Mercury has a gravity of 3.7m/s square. which is equivalent to 0.38 of earth's gravity. As a gas planet, Jupiter has a density of 1.326g.m/cm cube being a second densest gas planet in the solar system. Measured from the surface Jupiter's gravity is half that of the earth.

Geothermic gradient is the rate of increasing temperature with respect to increasing the depth in the earths interior. away from tech tonic plates boundaries, it is about 25-40 c/km (72-87 degrees f/mi) of depth near the surface in most of the world.
