If two planets have the same mass but different diameters Which planet has the stronger gravity at its surface?

The smaller diameter. Because the formula is G* m1 * m2 / r^2 . The gravity is negatively correlated with square of the distance between mass centers of the objects. When the distance increases the gravity decreases.

Which has a more powerful gravity a small planet or a large planet?
It would depend on the mass of the planets. The surface gravity of a planet is directly proportional to its mass and inversely proportional to the square of its radius. If two planets have the same mass but different sizes, the smaller planet will have stronger gravity because the surface is closer to the center of mass. Conversely, if two planets are of the same size, the one with more mass will have stronger gravity. Since larger planets usually have more mass than smaller ones they usually have stronger gravity, though not always.
Why does gravity differ on didderent planets?
Because different planets have different masses :)
Does earth have strong or weak gravity?
Because of Earth's size, and considering it as one of the smallest planets, it has a weak gravity compared to the OTHER planets. Most planets have greater gravity because of their size. Earth has a stronger gravity compared to mars, mercury, and venus.
Does gravity affect your weight on different planets?
yes it does
Why is weight different on different planets and the moon?
Some planets have less gravity or more gravity.More gravity giving you more weight and less giving you less weight.
Why do people have different weight on different planets or on the moon?
Because different planets have different mass, which means that gravity is weaker or stronger depending on the mass. If gravity is stronger than objects will have more weight, and if it's weaker they will have less weight.
Why is gravity in some planets more some not?
Gravity is stronger on some planets because the planet's core is much more dense. Making it's gravitational pull stronger. Which is making gravity stronger. that is sortof true
How does Jupiter swallow in planets?
because of jupiter's gravity Bigger the planet stronger the gravity
Why do all the planets have different fields of gravity?
Gravity is a function of mass. All the planets have different mass, so different gravity.

Is the gravity force on the other planets stronger or weaker than the force on earth?
It varies. It is stronger on some planets and weaker on others. The strength of gravity on any planet depends on its mass and diameter.
Why does the length of day vary from one planet to another?
Because different planets have different diameters and spin at different rates.

Because different planets have different masses :)

Does mars have stronger or weaker gravity?
Than what?The surface gravity of Mars is lower than that of Earth, but higher than that of the Moon, if that helps.
Why a mass of 1 kg weighs a different amount if it is taken to different planets?
Different planets have different strengths of gravity.
List the planets whit gravity stronger than earth's?
Neptune-114% Jupiter-254%
