Each molecule is about 10 times further apart in a gas, making gases about 1000 times less dense that solids (10 x 10 x 10) for the three dimensions)

There is no fixed distance between the molecules of a gas. There is a dimension called the mean free path which represents the average distance travelled by a molecule before colliding with another.
This is of course much more than in a solid.

Gas is about a thousand times less dense (at STP) than a solid.

The intermolecular spacing is increasing from solid to liquid and to gas. The increase is much more from liquid to gas.
