What do you think would happen if The masses of Earth and the Sun were comparable instead of the Sun's mass being much greater?

If they were both the size of the Sun then the Earth would not form (It would be a star).
Imagining fr a second that Earth did form the bodies would rotate around a common centre of gravity. And we would all be squashed flat by the Super-Earth's gravity (not that we would be there in this totally hypothetical senario).
If they were both the size of the Earth then the Sun would not be nearly large enough to achieve fusion in it's core. So would not be a star.

Is there more gravitational force between objects with small masses or objects with large masses?
Objects of greater mass have more gravitational pull.
What mass is required for a Type ll supernova?
Stars with a mass about 9 solar masses, or greater, will explode as a type II supernova.
Is the greater an objects velocity the stronger the gravitational force on it?
Gravitational forces between objects depend only on their masses and the distance between them. Velocity has no effect.
No stars are expected with masses greater than 150 times our sun because?
All stars are in a balance between gravity crushing them in, and the pressure caused by nuclear fusion at the star's core. And the bigger the star, the greater the amount of energy generated. At some point, the pressure of the stellar fusion is SO powerful that the outer layers of the star are blasted off into space. That point, we believe, is at about 150 solar masses.
Earth's mass times a white dwarf?
A white dwarf's mass is comparable to that of the Sun while its volume is comparable to that of the Earth. The Sun is 100 times larger than the Earth, so a white dwarf has a mass 100 times greater than the Earth.
Is the force of gravity greater between two objects that have greater masses?
Gravity is greater between objects with large masses than between objects with small masses.
What can happen if there is a large temperature difference between two drop nearby air masses?
instead of working on science try your english. btw tornado
When is the gravity between two objects greater?
When their masses are greater, and when their centers of mass are closer together.
How do the masses of electrons compare with the masses of protons?
The mass of a proton is 1836 times greater than the mass of an electron.
When is the force of gravity between objects greater?
When either or both of their masses are greater, and when their centers are closer together.
How are elements with atomic masses greater than uranium made?
Elements that have greater atomic masses then uranium are created using nuclear fission.
Is there more gravitational force between objects with small masses or objects with large masses?
Objects of greater mass have more gravitational pull.
How many elements with atomic masses greater than uranium's made?
calcium
What is the attractive force between two masses?
Gravity is the attractive force between two masses. The greater the mass, the stronger the attraction.
Why is air masses greater on top of mountain?
because the air pressure is more dense
What stellar event produced elements with atomic masses greater than iron?
supernova
How would the densities of the sphere and cube have compared if the masses of the cube and sphere had been the same but the volume of the cube had been greater?
Density = Mass/Volume, whatever the shape. So, if the masses are the same, the density is greater when the volume id smaller. Thus the sphere, with the smaller volume has the greater density.
