I'm sort of confused; I know the one's mass wouldn't change, but if the radius was 3x larger than Earth's and yet the mass of the planet was the same, the planet would be more hollow, which means a lesser pull of gravity, which means weight would decrease?

I think the gravitational force should get smaller when the distance becomes larger, right?

Homework Statement Suppose you went to another planet having a larger radius than Earth but having the same total mass as Earth. Would this affect your weight? How? Homework Equations Not applicable...? I think. The Attempt at a Solution I don't really understand what radius and...
