How Much of Your Daily Caloric Intake Should Come From Carbohydrates, Fats & Protein?
Fat. Fat is the most energy-dense nutrient, which means that it contains the most calories per gram. Each gram of fat provides you with 9 calories. Fat should comprise 20 to 35 percent of your daily calorie intake. If you eat 2,000 calories per day, your fat intake should range from approximately 44 g to 78 g of fat per day. Most of your fat intake should be in the form of unsaturated fats, such as nuts, seeds, fatty fish and avocados.


What Percentage of My Daily Calories Should Come From Carbohydrates?
Percentage of Calories. Between 45 and 65 percent of your total calories should come from carbohydrates, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Your ideal carbohydrate intake depends on your activity level and health status.


The Recommended Daily Value of Protein & Percentage of Diet
For example, if the label lists 20 percent for protein, it means that one serving provides 20 percent of the protein you need each day. The percent daily values are set by the FDA and are based on a 2,000-calorie diet. Average adults should consume between 10 and 35 percent of their daily calories from protein. If you are following a 2,000 calorie diet and wish to consume 30 percent of your calories from protein, you need 150 grams of protein daily. A diet with 10 percent of your calories from protein translates to 50 grams of protein.

Are there any particles that contain 3 up quarks or 3 down quarks?
As Erik Anson says, there are baryonic resonances that contain three up quarks and also ones that have three down quarks. The reason why these particles are so unstable is that they are a baryon is made up of three fermions.


What are quarks made of?
Feynman I think had said: to see what a watch is made of one does not throw one watch on another watch and count the gears flying off. One takes a screw driver. Leptons with their weak interactions are the equivalent of the screw driver. Quarks are probably not made of anything more fundamental. The idea that everything has to be made of something else is not true. Light is not made of anything else, neither is gravity.


Wacky Physics: Why Do Particles Have Flavors?
Protons are made of two up quarks and one down quark, while neutrons contain two down quarks and one up quark. Credit: MichaelTaylor | Shutterstock In this regular series, LiveScience explores some of the wildest, weirdest parts of our universe, from quantum oddities to hidden dimensions.


Are there particles smaller than quarks?
Those particles I listed above are smaller than quarks, but really have nothing to do with quarks. It turns out that nothing is known for certain to comprise the quarks. Quarks, electrons, all the electron's lepton cousin particles, and bosons are all called elementary particles. There is nothing comprising them for which it yet makes sense to call a particle.


Quark
The up quark (charge 2 / 3 e) and down quark (charge â 1 / 3 e) make up protons and neutrons and are thus the ones observed in ordinary matter. Strange quarks (charge â 1 / 3 e) occur as components of K mesons and various other extremely short-lived subatomic particles that were first observed in cosmic rays but that play no part in ordinary matter.


What are quarks, and why do they have colors and flavors?
In the original theory, two up quarks and a down quark add up to make a charge of positive one - or a proton. Two downs and an up have charges that add up to zero, and make neutrons. But if three quarks have positive two-thirds charges and three quarks have negative one-third charges, then why aren't there just two quarks total? What's the difference? Each of the quarks have just slightly different masses.


-
Quarks are one type of matter particle. Most of the matter we see around us is made from protons and neutrons, which are composed of quarks. There are six quarks, but physicists usually talk about them in terms of three pairs: up/down, charm/strange, and top/bottom. (Also, for each of these quarks, there is a corresponding antiquark.) Be glad that quarks have such silly names -- it makes them easier to remember! Quarks have the unusual characteristic of having a fractional electric charge, unlike the proton and electron, which have integer charges of +1 and -1 respectively.


What makes a quark?
The up quark is one of the two most stable types of quarks in the universe. It is one seen very often. For instance, a proton is composed of two up quarks and a down quark.

How to Protect the Wall Above the Shower Walls
Just as you can use tile inside the shower itself, you can finish the wall above it with ceramic tile. First, cover the drywall in a layer of paint-on waterproofing that you can apply with a paintbrush. Once this dries, you can use a notched trowel and mastic adhesive to mount the tiles.


The Best Material to Use for Shower Walls
Shower Wall Materials and Remodel Ideas What Materials Are Needed for Building & Tiling a Shower? The walls of your shower must be covered to prevent water damage, but what material you use to cover them can vary. There are several appropriate choices, but the best one depends on your particular needs.


Shower Makeovers
Today's shower options replace the old drizzle with new sizzle and let you immerse yourself under a waterfall, melt away stress with multiple massaging sprays, or wrap up in a relaxing blanket of steam. The options include both custom-made enclosures with your choice of materials and prefabricated units. High-quality custom showers can be framed with stud walls and finished with a variety of materials, such as tile, glass block, solid-surface material and marble. And it's become popular to enclose showers with walls and doors made of laminated safety glass.


The Best Material to Use for Shower Walls
Tiles can meet all of the criteria for good shower material, with many being water resistant or waterproof. They also come in a variety of colors and styles, and are easy to clean. The grout between tiles is less simple to clean, but many bathroom cleaning products make the work simpler.


The Best Material to Use for Shower Walls
Stone offers an attractive natural look, but is one of the less durable options. The walls of your shower must be covered to prevent water damage, but what material you use to cover them can vary. There are several appropriate choices, but the best one depends on your particular needs. A good wall material resists water, is attractive, is easily cleaned and won't degrade readily.


How to Protect the Wall Above the Shower Walls
Vinyl wallpaper is a solid finish material you can use in areas with moisture. It would not hold up to a constant stream of water from the showerhead like tile or plastic panel walls. But it will repel condensation and keep the humidity from damaging the wall beneath it.


Shower Makeovers
Shapes for stand-alone shower stalls include square, rectangular, corner and curved. In addition to the shape and size of the base, you'll need to decide on the threshold, which is the number of sides that will be enclosed by the glass sides and door.


Shower Makeovers
A flow aerator is the most important water-conservation device your shower can have. It makes efficient use of the water that flows through it a faucet or showerhead, usually by mixing air into the water stream. It can cut back on water use and the amount of energy used to heat the water by as much as 50 percent.


How to Protect the Wall Above the Shower Walls
You can apply a moisture-resistant paint with a brush or a roller in the space above the shower panels. Although it costs more money, consider paint that includes an anti-fungal agent that protects against mold in humid areas.

10 Essential Drawing Materials and Tools for Beginners
Many sets include pencils with harder graphite (9H) through softer graphite (6B). Harder graphite makes lighter marks and keeps a sharp tip longer, while softer graphite makes a darker mark, but needs constant resharpening. These sets give the artist the ability to work with many different values and varieties of mark.


The Drawing Tools I Use
If dropped or bent the graphite has a tendency to break internally - clutch pencils support the lead internally with virtually no breakages in normal use. Graphite leads... Staedtler 2mm diameter leads are available in tubes of 2 and packs of 12.

In America, the number on a pencil indicates the degree of hardness or softness of the writing core. The writing core is made from graphite and clay. The more graphite in a pencil - the darker the mark. The more clay in a pencil - the lighter the mark. Europe uses a different grading system. They use letters to refer to the hardness or softness of the writing core. The more graphite in a pencil - the softer the grade. The more clay in a pencil - the harder the grade. For example, H is hard, B is black, F is a fine point, and HB is hard and black.


Pencil
Raw Materials. The most important ingredient in a pencil is the graphite, which most people continue to call lead. ContÃ©'s method of combining graphite with clay is still used, and wax or other chemicals are sometimes added as well. Virtually all graphite used today is a manufactured mixture of natural graphite and chemicals.


Lead in Pencils: Safety Information and Facts
Within the pencil and other related industries such as toys and art materials in the United States, as well as in all other major production regions, industry associations work to establish testing and certification procedures to assist manufacturers in assuring that products they produce meet the government standards related to lead content as well as other potential toxins.


Geography of a Pencil
Explain to students that these materials come from all around the world, and that many countries contribute different materials used to make a pencil. Show students Table 2 on the handout Geography of a Pencil and explain that the countries included are the top producers of these materials. Tell students that these five materials come from many different areas, but that the countries listed on the handout are some of the top producers of the materials.

JavaScript: The World's Most Misunderstood Programming Language
The Java-prefix suggests that JavaScript is somehow related to Java, that it is a subset or less capable version of Java. It seems that the name was intentionally selected to create confusion, and from confusion comes misunderstanding.JavaScript is not interpreted Java. Java is interpreted Java.JavaScript is a different language. JavaScript has a syntactic similarity to Java, much as Java has to C. But it is no more a subset of Java than Java is a subset of C. It is better than Java in the applications that Java (fka Oak) was originally intended for.he-Script suffix suggests that it is not a real programming language, that a scripting language is less than a programming language. But it is really a matter of specialization. Compared to C, JavaScript trades performance for expressive power and dynamism.

Similar Discussions: Electromagnet cores. 1  Premium electromagnet core material (Replies: 3) 2  Using a magnetic core for an electromagnet (Replies: 2) 3  Core material for electromagnet that doesn't oxidize (Replies: 8) 4  Electromagnetic Induction Without Air Core (Replies: 8) 5  AC Electromagnet Core Material (Replies: 13)


Electromagnet cores
Electromagnet cores. I'm working on building a resonating electromagnet and I was curious to know what the best core material would be. I know soft iron is a good common one and I've also heard of using ferrite. A third thing I was thinking about was using a magnet as the core but I was cursious to know what that does to the coil. I've heard somewhere that if you pulse a coil wound around a magnet, the magnet does something to the frequency of the oscillations in the coil, (although I'm not sure what).


What materials makes the best electromagnet?
Wire: The best wire for electromagnets is called magnet wire. It is simply copper wire with a very thin enamel insulation. It is thin so you can get as many windings possible on to your electromagnet. I am assuming you are going for a strong magnet. More windings = more power. Core:


-
You can wrap the coils directly around the core materials, as described in the Procedure, or you can make a single coil (for each number of turns that you want to test) and test it with different core materials inside. Here is a procedure for making coils so that you can swap the core material:

The Strength of an Electromagnet
Electromagnets are an important part of many electronic devices, like motors, loudspeakers, and hard drives. You can create an electromagnet with a simple coil of wire and a battery. In this project, you will explore whether the strength of an electromagnet changes with the number of turns in the magnet's coil. You will measure the magnet's strength by counting the number of paper clips your electromagnet can lift. Objective. In this science project, you will make an electromagnet by wrapping a coil of wire around an iron core. You will then investigate whether the number of coils changes the electromagnet's strength.

Whatever the case, the selection of core material may be critical to the success of the electromagnet in its final application. AC electromagnet cores require consideration of a few additional characteristics.

What Eats Algae in a Food Chain?
Primary As a primary producer of food for other organisms and animals, algae is a food source for animals known as primary consumers. The animals seen as primary consumers include zooplankton, which is made up of the small larvae of larger fish that grow to become consumers at different levels of the food chain. Other animals also known as zooplankton are small animals, such as adult worms and crustaceans that spend their lives feeding on algae.

What Eats Algae in a Food Chain?
Food chains and food webs are charts that explain the layers of organisms within an ecosystem and which organism eats the others. These layers are labeled with names such as primary producers and secondary producers. Algae is a simple form of life that often appears in the lowest levels of a food chain because it is consumed by different animals.

Types of Crowns
Types of Crowns. 1  Very strong and durable. 2  Aesthetically pleasing. Most natural looking. 3  IMPORTANT - No metal means the dentist is able to see through the crown in x-rays. 4  Excellent choice for patients with metal allergies.


Dental Crowns
Porcelain-fused-to-metal dental crowns can be color matched to your adjacent teeth (unlike the metallic crowns). However, more wearing to the opposing teeth occurs with this crown type compared with metal or resin crowns. The crown's porcelain portion can also chip or break off.


Types of Crowns
SKILL - The skill level and experience of the dentist is paramount. 1  Bad dentistry can lead to future problems. Does this dentist stay abreast of the latest dental technologies/techniques and use only the best materials? POORLY SHAPED CROWNS - can cause food traps that then lead to further decay and gum inflammation or gum disease.


Dental Crowns
Next to all-ceramic crowns, porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns look most like normal teeth. However, sometimes the metal underlying the crown's porcelain can show through as a dark line, especially at the gum line and even more so if your gums recede.


-
Crowns made of all porcelain or porcelain fused to metal can sometimes chip. If the chip is small, a composite resin can be used to repair the chip with the crown remaining in your mouth. This is usually just a temporary fix.


Types of Crowns
Not all materials for all porcelain/ceramic crowns are alike and not all dentists are able to offer this option. Quality of material used is key to durability and aesthetic success. Porcelain Fused To Metal â To reap the benefits of the strength provided by metal dental crowns without the aesthetic drawbacks, another good option is a dental crown that has porcelain fused to the metal.


Types of Crowns
Please consider: 1  SKILL - The skill level and experience of the dentist is paramount. 2  MATERIALS - The materials chosen can make a huge difference in the longevity, durability and appearance of your crown. 3  TRUST - Finding someone you trust is also key.


Types of Crowns
All Porcelain or All Ceramic âThese dental crown materials offer the most natural look in your mouth, since they can be made to look just like real teeth. For those people who are allergic to metal, or who prefer not to have metal crowns, all porcelain or all ceramic crowns are an excellent option. However, there are differences in materials used.


Types of Crowns
- The old saying, You get what you pay for... and If it sounds too good to be true, it is... are applicable here. Among other things, the cost to do a crown is based on the skill level of the practitioner, the quality of his/her equipment/technology, and the quality of the materials used.

Top 5 Fire-resistant Building Materials
While no practical building material is truly fireproof, well-constructed houses and buildings can help prevent such tragedies by using materials that are relatively fire-resistant. Consequently, it's not a question of whether a fire can damage a structure, but a question of when. It simply takes longer for fire to affect fire-resistant materials. The key is to construct a building in which a fire would take effect slowly, allowing the occupants plenty of time to escape. This is also why materials themselves are rated in respect to how long it would take fire to affect its structural abilities. Even heavy timber can be considered fire-resistant. It's combustible, however, while metals like aluminum or steel aren't combustible -- instead, they tend to buckle under intense heat. We'll explore some of the best building materials for preventing and impeding a raging fire.

Thermal diffusivity of the pans are identical since the material has not changed, but heat capacity is higher on the thick pan because it has a larger volume of material and heat capacity = specific heat * specific gravity * volume of material.


Materials Used to Resist High Temperature in Various Industries
Materials that have the ability to protect equipment and instruments from being damaged due to high temperature are called heat resistant materials. These materials can be found on the inside of ovens, in car parts, on the manufacturing floor of industrial buildings, etc.


Guide to Cookware & Bakeware
Cookware with phenolic (heat-resistant plastic) handles and knobs and/or with nonstick interior coatings may generally be used in a preheated oven up to 350Â° F. (180Â° C), but should not be used under the oven broiler unit. Cookware with wooden handles and knobs may not be recommended for oven use.

Top 7 Barbeque Heat Plates
Yet another heat shield from Music City Metals, this item is perfect for grills that require a flat heat plate rather than the tented shape that has become popular in many units. This heat plate will cover the entire bottom of the barbeque for maximum heat distribution, and it will prevent drippings from becoming hot spots that could damage the grill.


Top 7 Barbeque Heat Plates
If one is in need of a truly durable heat shield for their grill, this thick stainless steel part will certainly do the trick. Unlike porcelain steel heat shields, this heavy stainless steel part will not rust or break even under the most extreme conditions. Though this part is made specifically for Coleman grills, there are many aftermarket heat shields available that have been constructed with this durable material, so it is easy for grill owners to upgrade and to further enhance their grills cooking ability.


Exhaust Heat Shield Insulation
Exhaust heat shield vs. exhaust and header wrap: Our Armor series of exhaust pipe heat shields feature an outer aluminum layer. An exhaust heat shield, such as our Heatshield Armor are usually easier to install vs. an exhaust wrap. The armor also has an outer shield to protect them after they have been installed.

Top 7 Barbeque Heat Plates
This 4-pack of heat shields from Grand Hall will ensure that grillers always have a replacement part on hand when it is necessary, which means less grilling down-time if the old heat shield is damaged, dirty, or otherwise incapable of giving them the best heat distribution possible. These shields include holes that can help in that process, although the heat shield will still manage to fully protect the sensitive burner from any drippings or grease from their cooking.


Exhaust Heat Shield Insulation
Direct contact vs standoff exhaust heat shields: The standoff heat shield car material utilizes a gap between the pipe and heat shield. This allows heat to escape from the exhaust system and radiate up, out, and around the standoff heat shield.

Plastic
Typically, workers sort the plastic by looking at the resin identification code, although common containers like soda bottles can be sorted from memory. Typically, the caps for PETE bottles are made from a different kind of plastic which is not recyclable, which presents additional problems for the sorting process. Other recyclable materials such as metals are easier to process mechanically.


Plastic bottle
Plastic bottles are formed using a variety of techniques. The choice of material varies depending upon application. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is the most widely used resin for plastic bottles. This material is economical, impact resistant, and provides a good moisture barrier. HDPE is compatible with a wide range of products including acids and caustics but is not compatible with solvents.


Plastic
Note 2: This term is used in polymer engineering for materials often compounded that can be processed by flow. Plastic is material consisting of any of a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic organic compounds that are malleable and so can be molded into solid objects.


Bottle
Plastic bottle. A plastic bottle is a bottle constructed from plastic. Plastic bottles are typically used to store liquids such as water, soft drinks, motor oil, cooking oil, medicine, shampoo, milk, and ink. The size ranges from very small sample bottles to large carboys.


Plastic
The development of plastics has evolved from the use of natural plastic materials (e.g., chewing gum, shellac) to the use of chemically modified, natural materials (e.g., natural rubber, nitrocellulose, collagen, galalite) and finally to completely synthetic molecules (e.g., bakelite, epoxy, polyvinyl chloride).


Plastic
In 1988, to assist recycling of disposable items, the Plastic Bottle Institute of the U.S. Society of the Plastics Industry devised a now-familiar scheme to mark plastic bottles by plastic type. Under this scheme, a plastic container is marked with a triangle of three chasing arrows, which encloses a number denoting the plastic type:


Plastic
Parkesine (nitrocellulose) is considered the first man-made plastic. The plastic material was patented by Alexander Parkes, In Birmingham, UK in 1856. It was unveiled at the 1862 Great International Exhibition in London. Parkesine won a bronze medal at the 1862 World's fair in London.


Plastic bottle
The choice of material varies depending upon application. 1  High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is the most widely used resin for plastic bottles. This material is economical, impact resistant, and provides a good moisture barrier. 2  Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is similar to HDPE in composition.


Plastic
The plasticity, or malleability, of the material during manufacture allows it to be cast, pressed, or extruded into a variety of shapes, such as: films, fibers, plates, tubes, bottles, boxes, amongst many others. The common noun plastic should not be confused with the technical adjective plastic.


Tonic vibration reflex
Tonic vibration reflex is a sustained contraction of a muscle subjected to vibration.This reflex is caused by vibratory activation of muscle spindles â muscle receptors sensitive to stretch.Tonic vibration reflex is evoked by placing a vibrator â which in this case is typically an electrical motor with an eccentric load on its shaft â on a muscle's tendon.30â100 Hz vibration activates receptors of the skin, tendons and, most importantly, muscle spindles.Muscle spindle discharges are sent to the spinal cord through afferent nerve fibers, where they activate monosynaptic and polysynaptic reflex arcs, causing the muscle to contract.0â100 Hz vibration activates receptors of the skin, tendons and, most importantly, muscle spindles. Muscle spindle discharges are sent to the spinal cord through afferent nerve fibers, where they activate monosynaptic and polysynaptic reflex arcs, causing the muscle to contract.

Stretch reflex
The stretch reflex (myotatic reflex) is a muscle contraction in response to stretching within the muscle. It is a monosynaptic reflex which provides automatic regulation of skeletal muscle length.When a muscle lengthens, the muscle spindle is stretched and its nerve activity increases.This increases alpha motor neuron activity, causing the muscle fibers to contract and thus resist the stretching. secondary set of neurons also causes the opposing muscle to relax. The reflex functions to maintain the muscle at a constant length. Gamma motoneurons regulate how sensitive the stretch reflex is by tightening or relaxing the fibers within the spindle.

What does TVR stand for?
Direct vibration is normally applied to muscle or tendon at a high vibration frequency (100-150 Hz), at a small amplitude (1-2 mm) for a short period of time (2-15 s), resulting in a transient increase in muscle activity known as the tonic vibration reflex (Eklund and Hagbarth, 1966).

Go with the Flow. Students gain an understanding of the difference between electrical conductors and insulators, and experience recognizing a conductor by its material properties. In a hands-on activity, students build a conductivity tester to determine whether different objects are conductors or insulators.


What Is the Most Conductive Element?
Updated August 07, 2017. Conductivity refers to the ability of a material to transmit energy. There are different types of conductivity, including electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and acoustical conductivity. The most electrically conductive element is silver, followed by copper and gold.


Electrical Conductivity in Metals
Electrical conductivity in metals is a result of the movement of electrically charged particles. The atoms of metal elements are characterized by the presence of valence electrons - electrons in the outer shell of an atom that are free to move about. It is these 'free electrons' that allow metals to conduct an electric current. Because valence electrons are free to move they can travel through the lattice that forms the physical structure of a metal.


Which Materials Conduct Electricity?
Preparation. 1  To do this project you will need to salvage three pieces of wire from an old electronic device. 2  Cut three pieces of wire, each at least 10 centimeters long. 3  Have an adult use scissors or a sharp knife to shave about one centimeter of insulation off the ends of each wire, exposing the metal inside.


What is the best conductor and insulator of electricity?
The best conductor, as the material with the lowest possible electrical resistance, is any superconductor below its transition temperature. Superconductivity is the capacity of certain materials of having zero electrical resistance below the criti...

Electrical resistivity and conductivity
As an example, if a 1 m Ã 1 m Ã 1 m solid cube of material has sheet contacts on two opposite faces, and the resistance between these contacts is 1 Î©, then the resistivity of the material is 1 Î©âm. Electrical conductivity or specific conductance is the reciprocal of electrical resistivity, and measures a material's ability to conduct an electric current. It is commonly represented by the Greek letter Ï (sigma), but Îº (kappa) (especially in electrical engineering) or Î³ (gamma) are also occasionally used.

â Betye Saar. SA: You did that series Record for Hattie which incorporated secondhand materials to memorialize your aunt. BS: When my great aunt died, she left me a trunk filled with photographs and hats and gloves and I started putting them together in assemblages. I interpreted my memory of her through those assemblages.


Assemblage Artist Betye Saar
Artist and educator, Betye Saar has spent more than six decades creating incisive and poignant works of art that critique all forms of racism, sexism and oppression. 90-year-old Saar grew up during the depression and her family learned the value of finding beauty and usefulness in things others might have dismissed.

Saar: Thank you. Tavis: Betye Saar is a legend in her own time. At 90 years young and spry, still doing what sheâs done so well for so long. If you have not seen her work on display, you might want to check that out while itâs here in Los Angeles. Thatâs our show for tonight.


Life Is a Collage for Artist Betye Saar
Betye Saar is an assemblage artist who calls herself a conjurer, a recycler. In a way, her own heritage is a collage: African, Irish, American Indian. Born in Los Angeles back in 1926, Saar still lives in the hills above the city in a huge grey-shingled house.

Now a nonagenarian, Betye Saar continues to create artworks with just as much ferocity, drawing on the same themes of race, mysticism and gender from her earlier work. Betye Saarâs exhibition Black White, the first of a two-part survey of her work, opens at Roberts & Tilton, Los Angeles. Sola Agustsson: Your work deals with recovering memories through everyday objects.

Betye Saar. Born in Los Angeles, assemblage artist Betye Saar is one of the most important of her generation. Since the 1960s, her art has incorporated found objects to challenge myths and stereotypes around race and gender, evoking spirituality by variously drawing on symbols from folk culture, mysticism and voodoo.

How Dense Are The Planets?
For instance, the 4 inner planets â those that are closest to the Sun â are all terrestrial planets, meaning they are composed primarily of silicate rocks or metals and have a solid surface. On these planets, density varies the farther one ventures from the surface towards the core, but not considerably.


The Planet Mercury
Mercury has the most eccentric orbit of any planet in the Solar System (0.205). Because of this, its distance from the Sun varies between 46 million km (29 million mi) at its closest (perihelion) to 70 million km (43 million mi) at its farthest (aphelion).


The Planet Mercury
The Planet Mercury. Mercury is the closest planet to our Sun, the smallest of the eight planets, and one of the most extreme worlds in our Solar Systems. Named after the Roman messenger of the gods, the planet is one of a handful that can be viewed without the aid of a telescope.


How Dense Are The Planets?
Beneath that, where the planetâs hydrogen are in a liquid state, the density rises to roughly 0.5 g/cmÂ³ and increases to 1 g/cmÂ³ at the boundary with the layer composed of metallic hydrogen. The layer metallic hydrogen, meanwhile, has an estimated density of 4 g/cmÂ³ â i.e. around the same as Mars.


Vulcan (hypothetical planet)
Vulcan (hypothetical planet) Vulcan is a small hypothetical planet that was proposed to exist in an orbit between Mercury and the Sun. Attempting to explain peculiarities of Mercury's orbit, the 19th-century French mathematician Urbain Le Verrier hypothesized that they were the result of another planet, which he named Vulcan.


How Dense Are The Planets?
Thought its average density is lower than that of the terrestrial planets, Jupiterâs overall size, mass, and the amount of material it packs into it frame makes for some powerful gravity. Measured from its âsurfaceâ (which in this case means its cloudtops), Jupiterâs gravity is over two and a hlaf times that of Earth â 24.79 m/s 2, or 2.528 g.


How Dense Are The Planets?
Combined with its size and mass, Mercury has a surface gravity of 3.7 m/s 2, which is the equivalent of 0.38 of Earthâs gravity (aka. 1 g). Density of Venus: The second planet from our Sun, as well as the second-closest terrestrial planet, Venus has a mean density of 5.243 g/cm 3. Again, this is very close to Earthâs own density.


How Dense Are The Planets?
Density of Earth: Earth has the highest density of any planet in the Solar System, at 5.514 g/cm3. This is considered the standard by which other planetâs densities are measured. In addition, the combination of Earthâs size, mass and density also results in a surface gravity of 9.8 m/sÂ².


How Dense Are The Planets?
Mercuryâs mean density is the second-highest in the Solar System, which is estimated to be 5.427 g/cm 3 â only slightly less than Earthâs density of 5.515 g/cm 3.However, if the effects of gravitational compression â in which the effects of gravity reduce the size of an object and increases its density â then Mercury is in fact more dense than Earth, with an uncompressed density of 5.3 g/cmÂ³ compared to Earthâs 4.4 g/cmÂ³.


The Planet Mercury
Mercury also has the lowest axial tilt of any planet in the Solar System â approximately 0.027 degrees compared to Jupiterâs 3.1 degrees (the second smallest). Composition and Surface Features: As one of the four terrestrial planets of the Solar System, Mercury is composed of approximately 70% metallic and 30% silicate material. Based on its density and size, a number of inferences can be made about its internal structure.
