What does Earth's mean density represent?

It is the planet's total mass divided by its total volume averaged over the whole globe, representing an average density value.

Why convert Earth's density to pound per cubic foot?

Converting allows representing planetary average densities in imperial units frequently used in engineering, construction, and industrial industries.

Is pound per cubic foot suitable for scientific modeling?

While widely used in practical contexts, it is less precise than SI units and requires careful use in high-accuracy geophysical calculations.
