Would weight increase or decrase on the surface of an earth sized planet with greater mass than earth?

If you're the same distance from the center of the planet but its mass is greater
than earth's mass, then the mutual gravitational force between you and that
planet is greater than on earth, and you'll "weigh" more than you do here.

What are the small robots that can move around on the surface of a planet?
Rovers
How do you make ours a green planet?
Well, from space, it is a blue planet because about 4/7 of the surface is ocean.
What two types of surface that is important for absorbing solar energy and keeps the planet warm?
what two types of surface is important for absorbing
Which planet has little gravity and little atmosphere?
This depends on you definition of little. The best fit would probably be Mercury that has virtually no atmosphere and less than 40 % of Earth's gravity on the surface. (Until 2006 Pluto which has even less surface gravity was a planet as well but is now considered a dwarf planet)
Most of the solar energy reaching planet Earth and its atmosphere is absorbed by what?
earths surface
Does a planet with greater mass have greater surface area?
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.
How would your weight change on the surface of an earth sized planet whose mass was greater the earths Why.?
Your weight is directly proportional to the mass and gravity of the planet, if the planet has a greater gravity and mass, you will weigh more.
How would your weight change on the surface of an Earth size planet whose mass was greater than earth's?
It would be greater.
How would your weight change on the surface of an earth-sized planet whose mass was greater than the Earth's.?
It would be greater.

It would be greater.

How are the surface temp and length of year on a planet related to the planet's distance from the sun?
As a general rule, the surface temp will go down and the length of the planet's "year" will increase the farther it is from the sun. There are exceptions, but that is the general rule.
High pressure system definition?
is a region where the ATMOSPHERIC at the surface of the planet is greater than its surrounding environment
What is high pressure cell?
it is a region where the atmospheric pressure at the surface of the planet is greater than its surrounding environment.
How does a planet's size affect its gravity?
The distance between a planet and an object affects the gravitational force between them. That means the size of a planet affects the value of the "surface gravity" for that planet. The greater thedistance from the surface to the center of the planet, the smaller the gravity at the surface (for the same planet mass). An example is the fact that Mars and Mercury have almost exactly the same surface gravity. Mars has more mass than Mercury, but this is balancedby the fact that Mercury hasthe smaller radius.
How does changing a planet's albedo change a planet's temperature?
If you increase the albedo, more solar radiation will be reflected back into space and so the temperature will be lowered.
What percent of the earth's surface does water cover?
It is estimated that the world's arable land is only about 13% of the surface of the Earth. This will be an increasing concern as the planet's population continues to increase.
