density of the Moon[edit]
The mass of the Moon is given in kg, but the density is in g/cm3, although for the Earth it has already been corrected (thanks!) to kg/m3. Other celestial bodies should be reviewed and their data corrected. Mir.Nalezinski (talk) 19:23, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- as pointed out on Talk:Earth, both seem to be plausibly acceptable, as kg/m3 is slightly more internally consistent, while g/cm3 are the units usually used by astronomers. I wouldn't go out of my way to change them all to be one or the other. Remsense诉 19:26, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
