Density is the mass of the molecules present in unit volume of a substance.
Whereas, relative density is the density of a substance in comparison to the density of water which is 1gm/cc or 1000kg/m*3
So, r.d= density of substance/density of water .
It is a unit less quantity.

Density of a substance is defined at its mass per unit volume. It simply tells us how much mass is packed in a unit volume of a substance.
Density = mass/volume
Relative density of a substance is defined as the ratio of the density of the substance to the density of water at 4 degrees Celsius. Another term used for relative density is specific gravity.
Relative density of a substance = Density of substance/Density of water at 4 degrees Celsius...

Like density has units like g/cm*2 or kg/m*3, relative density does not have any units. Hope it helps...
weight is 1/2 of what it was on the Earth's surface?
