If you are referring to two planets of the same MASS, then the difference in surface area would probably be due to their relative densities. If one planet is composed of denser matter than the other, then the same mass would take up a smaller volume, and thus the surface area would be smaller.

How do you Calculate mass with surface AREA?

You cannot These are different concepts. you need a volume and density to calculate mass, surface area provides neither (a cube and a sphere with the same surface area have different volumes and, had they been made of the same material, would have different masses).


Is it possible to have the same surface area different volume?

yes.


Can you have 2 different rectangular prisms with the same Surface area but different volumes?

Yes, you can.


Is surface area the same as area?

The term area is generally reserved for a two-dimensional polygon, but surface area is the term of the area of the different surfaces on a three-dimensional figure---the faces on the object. So no, they are not the same.


What two different rectangular prisms have same surface area?

Given any rectangular prism, there are infinitely many other rectangular prisms with exactly the same surface area.

How does surface area different from area?

Surface area is the area of all the sides of a 3D object, but area could be anything. e.g. Area is the surface of a 2D object or if you say the area of all the sides, it means the same as Surface area. -----=-----=-----=-----=-----=-----=-----=-----=-----=-----=-----=-----=-----=-----= By Austin from Covenant Christian School


How are volume and surface area the same?

Volume and surface area can never be the same because volume is a measure in 3-dimensional space whereas area is a measure in 2-dimensional space. The dimensions are different and so equality is not possible.Volume and surface area can never be the same because volume is a measure in 3-dimensional space whereas area is a measure in 2-dimensional space.

How is it possible for objects to have the same volume but different area?

Yes. A cube that is 2x2x2 has the same volume as a rectangular prism that is 1x2x4, which is 8. The surface area of the cube is 24 while the surface area of the rectangular prism is 28.
