  Or dense?

    It’s the mass that results in gravity, not the density. A giant cloud of gas will have the same gravitational effects as if it were compressed into its solid phase

      Tho, with a cloud of gas you can’t get as close to the center of mass without passing a bunch of it

      Ehh, just thinking of possible air resistance and such. I don’t know which variables they like to include and which not. But I’m guessing this is not one for just treating gravity as a one way street cuz the earth is so big
