momentOfInertiaFactor

The moment of inertia factor C / MR² a generated body of this class is given, which is what the flattening relation needs to know about the inside of a body it cannot see.

A uniform sphere is 0.4 and nothing rounded is that: mass settles toward the middle. The published values are Jupiter 0.254, Saturn 0.210, Uranus 0.225, Neptune 0.230; Earth 0.331, Venus 0.337, Mars 0.364, Mercury 0.346, Luna 0.393, Ganymede 0.311, Callisto 0.355, Titan 0.341. A giant keeps most of its mass in a core the size of a rocky planet, a rocky world has a dense core under a light mantle, and a rubble pile is as uniform as anything gets.
