NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the leading center for robotic exploration of the solar system.
The seven TRAPPIST-1 planets possess similar densities the values differ by no more than 3%. This makes the system quite different from our own. The difference in density between the TRAPPIST-1 planets and Earth and Venus may seem small about 8% but it is significant on a planetary scale.
