I'm curious if the gravity of a planet is affected by it's density. I know our gas giants aren't very dense yet they have extremely strong gravitational fields. Or is mass more of a factor than density? Post #6 pretty much answers those questions. It depicts a very dense gas giant ;)

Ive pretty much figured out that it matters how much there is not how densely it's packed.
In any case I don't think we would be walking around on the surface of a rocky planet 6 to 7 and a half times as massive as the earth.
