If a planet has 4 times the density but half the diameter of earth is it's gravity stronger or less?
No, the gravity of this planet will not be greater than that of earth. If the new planet has a mass equal to that of earth, its total gravity will be the same. There is a little ambiguity regarding 4 times earth density and half the earth's diameter if the idea is to keep the mass of this proposed planet the same as the earth. But setting that aside and assuming that the mass of the new planet is the same as earth's, the gravimetric field will be the same. Gravity is proportional to mass, and identical mass yields identical gravity. Now to the good part! The surface gravity of the new planet will be considerably higher than the surface gravity of earth. Both planets have the same mass and the same gravity, but a person standing on the surface of the new planet will be experiencing a whole lot more force pulling on him. All the mass of the new planet is beneath this person, but he's a lot closer to the center of gravityand will weigh a whole lot more.
What is the mass of planet earth?
The mass of planet Earth is 5.9736 × 1024 kg
The size of a planet's orbit is determined by?
The mass of the planet, the mass of the sun and the distance between the two.
Does More Mass Planet Less Mass Planet attract to the sun more?
A more massive planet is attracted more by the Sun if other things like the distance are equal. The force of gravity on a planet is proportional to the mass of the planet and inversely proportional to the sare of the distance.
What planet has a mass equal to the mass of 318 earths?
Jupiter
What is in a blackhole?
a lot of empty space and a point singularity at the exact center containing all the mass compressed to infinite density.
Does the mass of a planet equal the size?
No, the mass of a planet does not equal the size of that particular planet.

Which planet is mostly of ice?
Well, Pluto was the planet which is made of a lot of ice (perhaps about half of the planet's mass), but in 2006 the IAU redefined Pluto as only a Dwarf Planet. The Pluto average temperature is about -229 degrees Celsius.
What is the mass of planet earth?
The mass of planet Earth is 5.9736 × 1024 kg
Newton found that gravity depends upon mass of the planet you are on and the distance you are from the what?
The strength of gravity between 2 bodies depends on your mass and the planet's mass, and the distance between the center of your mass and the center of the planet's mass.
How does the gravity of the planet vary with its mass?
The larger the planet mass, the bigger force of gravity it has.
What happens to your mass as you move from planet to planet?
Your mass does not change. Your weight, however, changes in proportion to the gravity of each planet.
When a planet has a lot of mass why does it turn into a gas giant?
More mass means a stronger gravitation field. One aspect of planet formation is the evaporation of light volatiles elements from the growing planet due to solar heating. If a forming planet is far enough away from the sun then it is cooler and is able to retain light-weight volatiles from being 'blown away' by solar heating and pressure. If a planet is able to retain Helium then it has the potential of gaining a lot of mass, as Helium is very abundant. If it gains mass due to Helium collection then eventually it will have enough of a gravitational field to retain Hydrogen which is super abundant and the planet just keeps on growing until it has used up everything there is to capture.
Will your mass change from planet to planet?
No. Your mass will stay the same. Your weight, however, will change in direct proportion to each planet's gravity.
The size of a planet's orbit is determined by?
The mass of the planet, the mass of the sun and the distance between the two.
What is the formula for density of a planet?
Density of a planet = (Planet's mass) divided by (Planet's volume)
