you could get such a planet...
Those densities are for items sitting on your desk. The iron core of earth has

It's Mostly Molybdenum along with a few heavier elements, based on the

8.8, as heavy as iron and an argument about whether
an entirely iron planet could exist and how.
Now we have a (roughly) terrestial planet with a density

Neophyte question again, from someone with a sharp interest and a lack
of astophysic knowledge:
In short, how can we determine the density of a planet, other than
ours

Sterling and List,
Great answer Sterling, but I have a question. What if there are 10 other
as yet undiscovered planets orbiting this star? Wouldn't that change the
equation
