Which of the following would be a reasonable prediction about this planet, assuming it formed like our solar system? I. The planet will probably have a mean density of around 5 g/cm3. II. The planet will probably have a radius of around five to ten times greater than Earth's. III. The planet will probably have several satellites. IV. The planet will probably have a composition that is mostly hydrogen and helium.
