How did the planets get there order?

The balance between gravity (attraction to the Sun) and orbital energy (1/2 velocity2 times mass) gives the planets their order.


What planets in the solar system have mass?

All planets have mass.


Would you weigh more on a gaseous planet or terrestrial planet?

Based on the fact that the gaseous planets in the solar system have much greater mass than terrestrial planets, you would weigh more as weight depends on gravitational pull, which is increased based on the mass of the object.


What three planets are made of mass?

All the planets are made of "matter" and that has "mass".


Why is your gravity less on other planets?

On other planets your gravity doesn't change. Your weight however changes based on the mass of the planet. For example, on a planet with less mass than Earth, a person will weigh less than they normally do.


Is mass larger on bidder planets or smaller?

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


Where do the planets get gravity?

Planets have gravity because they have mass.
