Mass does not change with gravity. Weight increases on BIGGER planets and decreases on smaller planets.

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 is it more difficult for gases to escape from Jovian planets than terrestrial planets?
Jovian planets have a much stronger gravitational force due to their larger mass.
How big can planets get?
It is estimated that planets can theoretically get up to about 80 times the mass of Jupiter, anything larger than that would form as a Brown Dwarf Star.
Why do planets have moons?
Planets have moons because matter is attracted by gravitational force to objects with a greater mass than them.That is why moons orbit planets and are never larger than their host planet.
Does larger planets have more gravity than the earth?
It is more accurate to say that more massive planets have stronger gravity. If a planet had the same mass as Earth but a larger radius (i.e. it is less dense) surface gravity would be weaker, as the strength of gravity depends on both an objects mass and the distance from its center.
Which planet is smaller tha Ganymede?
Mercury is smaller in diameter, but not in mass. If you include dwarf planets, than it is also larger in diameter than Eris and Pluto, however once again it is smaller in mass.

What is the larger land mass smaller than a continent?
A larger land mass smaller than a continent is usually referred to as a subcontinent. Subcontinents are smaller than continents but larger than individual countries or regions. Examples of subcontinents include the Indian subcontinent and the Arabian Peninsula.
How are planets compared to asteroids and planets?
Planets are larger and more massive than asteroids, but very nearly the same size and mass as planets.
Will the raindrop with larger mass will fall earlier or that with the smaller mass?
yes. gravitational force will act more powerfully on larger mass drop while on smaller mass drop less gravity acts.
What planets have a mass smaller than earth?
Mercury, Venus, Mars
What Make up 50 percent of the atomic mass of the nucleus?
Well, this is not exact, but smaller atoms have about the same number (and mass) of neutrons and of protons. Heavier atoms have a larger percentage of their mass in neutrons.Well, this is not exact, but smaller atoms have about the same number (and mass) of neutrons and of protons.

Is there any connections between the mass of Earth and the number of Moons it has?
No, there is not. Mars is smaller but has 2, Saturn is larger and has around 70.
How does force affect stationary object of different masses?
Force accelerates stationary masses as acceleration a=f/m; theacceleration is inverse to the mass. The smaller the mass the larger the acceleration and the larger the mass the smaller the acceleration.
How gravity affects us on different planets?
The larger the planet is, the more amount of gravity you will get. The smaller the planet is, the less amount of gravity you will get.
Is it true that the larger the mass the smaller interia?
no. Inertia is directly proportional to mass. So twice the mass, twice the inertia, etc. So, the larger the mass, the greater the inertia.
Is the mass of 2 ml of water smaller or larger than 1 ml of water?
larger
