If Earth’s mass is doubled while keeping its radius constant, gravitational force increases, resulting in stronger gravity on its surface.

  1. The acceleration due to gravity is directly proportional to the density of a planet, assuming the radius remains constant. This means that if the density of a planet doubles, the value of gravity on its surface also doubles. For example, increasing a planet’s density while maintaining the same size results in a stronger gravitational pull.
    This relationship highlights how changes in a planet’s internal composition, such as an increase in mass per unit volume, can significantly impact its gravitational force. Thus, doubling the density leads to a direct doubling of the gravitational acceleration experienced on the planet’s surface.

    g = 4/3πGRp i.e, g ∝ p
    If density is doubled, then the value of g also gets doubled.
