Re: Okay.

What's the density of Mercury, the planet?

How does that density relate to the density of other planets?

Re: Okay.

How's about gas Giants. Jupiter and Saturn have a magnetic field?

Re: Okay.

so density is only a factor in relation to what is required to create something metallic?

Re: Density, composition, and rotation

Okay.

What about the Giants. Not super-giants like Jupiter and Saturn but Uranus and Neptune?

Re: Density, composition, and rotation

Okay.

So when we look at the planets we've discussed so far, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, do we find anything related to their magnetic fields that appears to be an anomaly?
