I wonder if it would be possible for such a planet to exist and be habitable. Obviously it would have to be far less dense than Earth (or Jupiter); I'm guessing gravity would therefore compact it to a smaller size, unless maybe it was made out of some kind of lattice structure?
Better question might be what's the largest feasible (or likely) potentially habitable planet with earth-like gravity.
- cup-of-tea 9y agoThat's an interesting question. I'm sure it's been considered in science-fiction before. But as I think about I keep thinking about a hollow planet, and then I think about a Dyson sphere. Does that count as a planet?
- sliken 9y agoMass of Saturn is 100x earth and the gravity is only 6% higher.
