The diameter of a planet can provide some indication of its mass, but it is not a definitive measure. Larger diameters may suggest a greater mass, especially if the planet is rocky or has a substantial atmosphere. However, mass also depends on density; for example, a gas giant can be large but have a lower mass due to its composition. Therefore, while there's a correlation, diameter alone isn't sufficient to determine mass accurately.
What else can I help you with?
Largest planets in the solar system?

How many times bigger is the sun than the moon and all the planets put together?
The sun is much bigger than any of the other planets. The earth is 12,756 km in diameter and the sun is 1,093,000 km in diameter. Even Jupiter is only 140,000 km in diameter.
What inner planets are similar to size and mass?
Venus has almost the same mass and diameter as the earth.
What planet is almost the same size as Uranus?
Neptune is almost the same size as Uranus. Both planets are similar in diameter, mass, and composition.
How do the sizes of the terrestrial planets compare to the gas giants?
The average terrestrial planet has only about 10.3% of the diameter and 0.4% of the mass of the average gas giant.
Why can't you determine the size of the planets?
But you CAN determine the size of the planets: in diameter, overall mass, and in density.
Does the sun give planets gravity?
No. Planets have gravity as a result of their own mass.
Is Saturn half the size of the sun?
No, it is not.Saturn is the second largest of the planets, but nowhere near the diameter or mass of the sun.In fact, the mass of all the planets together is less than 1/500th of the sun's mass.
How do you calculate the mass given diameter and length?
You cannot. Diameter and length can, for some particular shapes, give you the volume. But that will not give you the mass unless you know the density of the substance.
What are the size of eight planets diameter and mass?
Mercury: diameter 4880 km mass 3.302e+23 kg Venus: diameter 12104 km mass 4.856e+24 kg Earth: diameter 12756 km mass 5.9742e+24 kg Mars: diameter 6796 km mass 6.419e+23 kg Jupiter: diameter 142984 km mass 1.899e+27 kg Saturn: diameter 120536 km mass 5.685e+26 kg Uranus: diameter 51118 km mass 8.683e+25 kg Neptune: diameter 49528 km mass 1.0243e+26 kg
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 are two outer planets that are about the same size?
Uranus and Neptune are two outer planets that are similar in size. Both planets are known as ice giants and are similar in diameter and mass.
What determines the pull of gravity at a planets surface?
It's mainly to do with the mass of the planet, the more mass, the higher the gravitational pull of the planet. The two are related.
Largest planets in the solar system?

What is the smallest and fastest-moving of all planets?
Mercury is, with a diameter of 4879km, a mass of 0.33x1024kg, and an orbital velocity of 47.9km/s.
In what ways are planets different?
They do not have the exact same color, mass, diameter, number of moons, atmosphere composition, name, or gravity.
Radius and mass allow scientist to determine what planetery property?
Once you know their distances, you can determine basic properties of the planets such as mass, size, you can determine its linear diameter.
