Planet Mass Calculator

How to Use the Calculator

1. Enter the volume of the planet in cubic kilometers (km³).
2. Enter the density of the planet in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).
3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the mass of the planet.
4. The result will be displayed in kilograms (kg).

Understanding the Formula

The calculator uses the formula:

Mass = Volume × Density

Where:

• Mass is the mass of the planet in kilograms (kg).
• Volume is the volume of the planet in cubic kilometers (km³).
• Density is the density of the planet in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).

Important Note: The density is converted from g/cm³ to kg/km³ in the calculation (1 g/cm³ = 1,000,000 kg/km³).

Example

If a planet has a volume of 1,000,000 km³ and a density of 5.5 g/cm³, the calculation would be:

Mass = 1,000,000 km³ × 5.5 g/cm³ = 5,500,000,000,000 kg
