All planets orbit around the greatest centre of mass. In our solar system, that is our Sun.
No. The surface gravity of a planet depends on its size and mass, not its distance from the sun.
because the surface area is spread out over the volume of mass
In terms of size, the planets from smallest to greatest is as follows: Mercury (smallest), Mars, Venus, Earth, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn and Jupiter (largest). Note that although Neptune has more mass than Uranus, it is smaller in size.
If you are referring to two planets of the same MASS, then the difference in surface area would probably be due to their relative densities. If one planet is composed of denser matter than the other, then the same mass would take up a smaller volume, and thus the surface area would be smaller.
Earth
The object with the greatest mass.
Earth has the strongest gravitational pull.
Mass has no direct effect on the surface area of an object. You can increase mass without changing anything other property of an object. Volume, Size, and Shape effect surface area.

Mass does not change when one is traveling between planets, because mass is the measure of how much mater there is.

A planet with a greater mass does not necessarily have greater surface area than one with less mass. The planet could be made of denser material and have a smaller surface area. Mass doesn't always mean volume.

There are different formulae for their volume, surface area, mass, etc. You have not specified what formula and for what purpose.There are different formulae for their volume, surface area, mass, etc. You have not specified what formula and for what purpose.There are different formulae for their volume, surface area, mass, etc. You have not specified what formula and for what purpose.There are different formulae for their volume, surface area, mass, etc. You have not specified what formula and for what purpose.
No. Assuming the sun's mass were compressed into a black hole, the sun would still have the same mass. The gravitational pull created by that mass would not be affected beyond the distance of the sun's present surface area.
