Appreciated. Is that "Radius of planet 581 in comparison to Earth"--i.e. 1.5--and the planet's gravitation is also in comparison to Earth's? Otherwise, why would Earth's density factor in?

The Radius is subjective to the Density of 581 and relating to the Radii of Earth.

Earth’s density is factored so we can get a ratio relating to the Gravitational factor of Earth.

For example:

Jupiter density 1.33
Earth Density 5.5
Radius of Jupiter is 11 earth radii

Jupiter= (1.33/5.5) * 11

Jupiter has 2.6 of Earth’s gravity
