See also, "Blueberry Earth" https://arxiv.org/abs/1807.10553 This paper explores the physics of the what-if question "what if the entire Earth was instantaneously replaced with an equal volume of closely packed, but uncompressed blueberries?" While the assumption may be absurd, the consequences can be explored rigorously using elementary physics. The result is not entirely dissimilar to a small ocean-world exoplanet.

> the question, at least the way it's phrased here, doesn't say anything about any air Nor does it mention water, but blueberries contain water. Likewise, the paper finds "the air content of the berries" to be "211 times the mass of Earth’s atmosphere" [1]. [1] https://arxiv.org/pdf/1807.10553.pdf page 3
