I asked this question b4..but incorrectly asked about VOLUME instead of DENSITY. My bad.

Jupiter? Earth? The Moon? or The Sun?

5,515.3- earth
1.326- Jupiter
3,346.4- Moon
1,408- Sun

So Earth has the greatest density

To really know the density one has to really know the mass and of what it is composed. The sun, Jupiter, earth, and the moon's makeups are all just best guess and not known with 100% accuracy. Gaging by gravitational pull and apparent outer makeup tells us some but not all the data needed. You could say the earth was simply from the fact that we know that our core contains iron which is a very dense element. Jupiter is immense and appears to have a certain gravity. If it had an iron core too it would probably have greater gravity than it does. The sun has a dense core because of all its material compressing under immense gravitational pressure but it is also under nuclear fusion which causes an expansion too. The moon is easier to understand as it's very close and can be measured more accurately. So just going off of all that the best answer is the earth.
