Common misconception. Density has nothing to do with gravity. It is a relationship between mass and volume. Mass and volume will not change, even if you are on the moon (or those astronauts in space would look mighty funny). What will change is "weight" which is created by the gravity pulling on that mass. Specific gravity is a ratio comparing two densities. Hope that helps.
