Imagine a world like ours. Gravity, atmosphere, sky... just nothing solid down there. At least not anywhere close. Would it be possible? I know this is similar to this question. So to specify what...
We all know that equation for surface gravity is $$ g = \frac{4\pi}{3} G \rho r $$ So if we want Earth-like surface gravity of $ g = 9.81 $, then the equation for radius is $$ r = \frac{3 g}{4\p...
