does size matter when it comes to mass.For instance can something the size of a marble weight as much as a planet like earth?

Mass refers to the amount of matter an object contains, while size refers to the physical dimensions of an object. Mass is typically measured in grams or kilograms, while size is measured in units such as centimeters or inches.
No, the size of an object does not affect its mass. The mass of an object is determined by the amount of matter it contains, not its physical dimensions. For example, a small rock and a large rock may have the same mass if they are made of the same material.
Objects with the same mass can have different sizes because their densities are different. Density is the amount of mass per unit of volume, so objects with different densities can have the same mass but different sizes. For example, a block of wood and a block of lead may have the same mass but the lead block will be smaller because it is more dense.
Mass and weight are often confused, but they are not the same. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter an object contains, while weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. The greater the mass of an object, the greater its weight will be because it will experience a stronger force of gravity.
No, all objects have both mass and size. Even subatomic particles, such as electrons, have mass and size. The size of an object may be too small to be seen with the naked eye, but it still exists. Mass is a fundamental property of matter and cannot exist without some form of physical size.
