Smaller but more massive... ... What?

Uranus is very large in diameter, but is made up mostly of light gasses. Neptune is smaller in size, but made up of heavier stuff.

Massive is still a word used to describe size. The author should’ve said “smaller, but heavier and more dense.” That makes far more logical sense.
