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.
Density of a planet = (Planet's mass) divided by (Planet's volume)
Venus is the planet closest in mass to Earth, with a mass about 81% that of Earth.
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.
The mass of a planet has nothing to do with its number of moons. For instance, Mars' mass is much less than that of Earth, yet Mars has two moons (Deimos and Phobos) while the Earth has one. (Luna)
Planets don't "weigh"; they have a mass. Mass is that which is expressed in kilograms (or pounds, or tonnes).The seventh planet from the Sun is Uranus; its mass is 8.68e25 kilograms, or about 14.5 times the mass of Earth.
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.
Its mass. More mass=more gravity Also the distance from the planet's center to its surface, i.e. its radius.
No. It is the other way around; gravity depends on mass.
The mass of Venus is 4.87 x 10^24 kg.
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.
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.
The planet with the least mass and smallest is Mercury. The planet with the lowest density is Saturn
Density of a planet = (Planet's mass) divided by (Planet's volume)
Venus is the planet closest in mass to Earth, with a mass about 81% that of Earth.
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.
The mass of planet Earth is 5.9736 × 1024 kg
