Density of Earth in g/cm³

Density Conversion Formula:

\[ \rho = \frac{\rho_{kg/m³}}{1000} \]

Density in g/cm³:

Definition: This calculator converts density from kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³) to grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).

Purpose: It helps scientists, engineers, and students work with density measurements in different unit systems.

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ \rho = \frac{\rho_{kg/m³}}{1000} \]

Where:

Explanation: Since 1 g/cm³ equals 1000 kg/m³, we divide the kg/m³ value by 1000 to get the equivalent in g/cm³.

Details: Different scientific fields use different units for density. Converting between them ensures accurate comparisons and calculations.

Tips: Enter the density in kg/m³ (default is Earth's average density: 5510 kg/m³). The result will show the equivalent in g/cm³.

Q1: What is Earth's average density?
A: Earth's average density is approximately 5.51 g/cm³ or 5510 kg/m³.

Q2: Why are there different density units?
A: Different fields use different units - geology often uses g/cm³ while physics may use kg/m³.

Q3: How does Earth's density compare to water?
A: Water has a density of 1 g/cm³, so Earth is about 5.5 times denser on average.

Q4: What affects Earth's density?
A: Earth's density varies by layer - the core is much denser (up to 13 g/cm³) than the crust (~2.7 g/cm³).

Q5: Can I convert back from g/cm³ to kg/m³?
A: Yes, simply multiply the g/cm³ value by 1000 to get kg/m³.
