Cosmic density calculator

The class assignment was to make an online calculator that would take weight and height, calculate the BMI (body mass index), compare it with the different BMI categories, and show an image according to the result.

However, i find the concept of BMI deeply problematic both as a scientist (BMI doesn't actually say anything about a person's body fat content or health status) and as an activist (BMI is used to police and oppress Othered bodies).

My solution was to design an alternative assignment that would allow me (and any other classmate) to learn the same skills in a more wholesome way. so i came up with the idea of an online calculator that takes the weight and volume of any object, calculates its density, compares it to the planets in our solar system, and shows an image of the planet closest in density.
