The document lists the densities of various common materials in both metric and imperial units. Metals like aluminum, zinc, iron, copper, silver, and lead are included, along with mercury, gold, and water. The densities of these materials range from just over 1 g/cm3 for water to over 19 g/cm3 for gold. The document also provides densities for the Earth and other astronomical objects, and notes that densities can vary greatly depending on the material, from less than 1 kg/m3 for interstellar gas to over 1 billion kg/m3 for white dwarf stars.
