Fig. 4

Density of the rocky solar system bodies. Uncompressed and solid densities are shown for terrestrial planets and chondrites (gray), respectively. Bulk planetary densities are shown for asteroids (blue). For 1 Ceres, its bulk density is a lower limit of its solid density, given its high ice abundance and porosity. The red line shows a fit curve for the planets (ρ=4100r−0.21). Data sources: density of planetary bodies are from Russell et al. (2012); Park et al. (2019); Sierks et al. (2011); Consolmagno et al. (2006); Macke et al. (2010); Macke et al. (2011); Britt and Consolmagno (2003); Lewis (1972); Stacey (2005); heliocentric distances of chondrite parent bodies are from Desch et al. (2018)
