No lower limit has been formally defined; the lowest-mass accepted planet is Mercury - 0.055 times Earth's mass. The largest planet in our Solar System is Jupiter, at 318 times Earth's mass. Larger planets are known to orbit other stars; the upper limit should be about 13 Jupiter masses or about 4000 Earth masses; an object with more mass than that would be a brown dwarf.

What is your Mass on each planet?

Your mass does not change no matter which planet you're on. That is because mass is a measure for how much material there is. However, your weight will change because it is the measure of how much you're being pulled down by a planet.


What determines how much gravity on a planet has?

Its mass. More mass=more gravity Also the distance from the planet's center to its surface, i.e. its radius.


Does the mass of the planet depend on how much gravity it has?

No. It is the other way around; gravity depends on mass.


How much mass does the planet venus have?

The mass of Venus is 4.87 x 10^24 kg.


How much gravity do the other planets have?

The amount of gravity is not really quantifiable, but the gravitational force of a planet on a standard mass at a standard distance is proportional to the planet's mass.


Do objects on other planets weigh the same as they weigh on Earth?

No. Weight is the measure of how much force a planet pulls an object, that force is determined by the planet's mass and radius, and each planet has a different mass and radius.


What planet in the solar system is least massive planet?

The planet with the least mass and smallest is Mercury. The planet with the lowest density is Saturn


What is the formula for density of a planet?

Density of a planet = (Planet's mass) divided by (Planet's volume)


Which planet is closest in mass to the size of planet Earth?

Venus is the planet closest in mass to Earth, with a mass about 81% that of Earth.


If a planet existed whose mass was twice that of earth and whose radius is 3 times that of earth.how much will a body of 1kg mass weight on this planet?

The mass is twice as much, so multiply by 2. The radius is 3 times as much--the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the radius, so multiply by 1/9.2 X 1kg/9 = 0.2 kg.


What is the mass of planet earth?

The mass of planet Earth is 5.9736 × 1024 kg


What is the heaviest planet to the lightest planet?

The heaviest planet in our solar system is Jupiter, while the lightest planet is Mercury. Jupiter is a gas giant with a mass greater than all the other planets combined, whereas Mercury is a small, rocky planet with a much lower mass.
