The statement that best describes the density of the outer planets is:
**All the outer planets have low density.**
The outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) are generally much less dense than the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars). Jupiter and Saturn, being gas giants, have low average densities, and while Uranus and Neptune are ice giants with somewhat higher densities than Jupiter and Saturn, they are still considered to have low overall density compared to the terrestrial(inner) planets.
