I asked a physicist friend about this. At 6x mass, it would only be 6x the gravity if it was the same size as Earth. Depending on the density, the gravity could actually be weaker than Earth!


Yeah, not having the radius/diameter of the planet mentioned really hurts understanding the effect of that mass. However, I doubt it is like Saturn where it could float in water.
