Abstract: A formula for the determination of the density value in the mass centre of a planet is derived. The values calculated are in good agreement with observational data. The obtained boundaries for their changes enable one to build more reliable mass distributions, which is especially urgent in the study of the internal structure of planets of the solar system. |
