What is Earth's mean density?

It is the planet's total mass divided by its total volume averaged over the entire globe, approximately 5,514 kg·m⁻³.

When should I use megagram per liter (Mg/L)?

This unit suits very high densities typical in astrophysics, planetary science, and theoretical high-pressure physics.

Why convert Earth's density to Mg/L?

Converting to Mg/L allows expressing planetary and geophysical densities on a scale appropriate for extremely dense materials.
