Formula & inputs
Formula: ρ = M / (4⁄3·π·r³) (v1.0.0, impl v1.0.0)
Inputs:
- massEarth = 6.27 M⊕ · NASA
- radiusEarth = 2.38 R⊕ · NASA
Assumptions: M⊕ = 5.972e+24 kg, R⊕ = 6371000 m (IAU 2015 B3 nominal); Assumes a uniform sphere.
Limitations: Withheld above 30 g/cm³ (inconsistent mass/radius inputs).; Archive mass/radius carry no propagated uncertainty here.
Uncertainty: not propagated (inputs carry no catalogued uncertainty)
