Okay, I get it
That makes perfect sense and is pretty much what I had in mind. My problem sciencewise is my inability to properly express myself scientifically :)
Can we then suppose that that a rocky planet 2-3 times Earth mass, (which would be much less that 2 x radius) constructed of elements proportionately similar to Earth would be near level in terrain and covered with water, or am I still expressing myself incorrectly?
I am fairly certain that at some point the mass of a planet would affect it's ability to retain rocky properties and the properties of moisture.
