Answer:

Planets have different layers because different materials have different densities.

Step-by-step explanation:

Density comes into play on how heavy matter is at a certain size. The planets formed as dust, gas, asteroids and comets collided together.Around the metal cores, the planets have a mantle and crust made of rock

Planetary scientists are pretty sure that Mercury, Venus and Mars also have these layers. ... Not just planets have a core, mantle and crust. Several moons in our solar system have them! The Moon has a core and mantle similar to Earths but the crust is basaltic rock.

Hope it helps you
