    If Earth's orbital speed doubled, would its mass and gravity double?

    If I am not mistaken, "g" not only represents a gram but it is also the proper notation for g-force or gravitational force as well, which is how I was using it in this case. Back to my question: Would these statements be accurate? 1g (or 1 g-force) is equal to 9.80665 m/s^2. Doubled it's: 2g...

    I am not all that great at mathematics or physics or anything like that, though it does interest me a great deal and I am just trying to better understand the theories, so please bare with me here. I have read that the closer an object gets to traveling at the speed of light its mass...
