We can estimate the density of a planet's interior if we compare its overall density with the:
A)density of its surface materials.
B)density of its moons.
C)density of neighboring planets.
D)strength of its magnetic field.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The overall density of a planet includes both its surface materials and its interior. Therefore, if we compare the overall density to the density of the surface materials, we can estimate the density of the interior. Moons and neighboring planets may have different compositions and densities, making them unreliable for estimating the interior density. The strength of a planet's magnetic field is determined by its core, but it does not necessarily provide a direct measurement of density.
