It does not. Mass is independent of where an object is. Weight, however, will vary in direct proportion to the planet's gravity.

Does the mass of a planet equal the size?

No, the mass of a planet and its size are not the same. Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object, while size refers to the physical dimensions of the object. A planet's mass is determined by the total amount of material it contains, while its size is a measure of its physical dimensions.

The size of a planet's orbit is determined by?

The size of a planet's orbit is primarily determined by its distance from the star it orbits, as well as the planet's mass and the characteristics of the star. The orbiting planet's velocity and gravitational interactions with other bodies in the system also play a role in determining the size of its orbit.

How does a planet's size affect its gravity?

The distance between a planet and an object affects the gravitational force between them. That means the size of a planet affects the value of the "surface gravity" for that planet. The greater thedistance from the surface to the center of the planet, the smaller the gravity at the surface (for the same planet mass). An example is the fact that Mars and Mercury have almost exactly the same surface gravity. Mars has more mass than Mercury, but this is balancedby the fact that Mercury hasthe smaller radius.
