Alien worlds, so-called "super-Earths" may be more similar to our own planet than previously thought, a new study suggests.
Super-Earth with twice the radius of the Earth will have 10 times the mass and 10 times as much water as Earth. Gravity big planet would be three times more Earth, crushing the topography of the planet three times, and the creation of small ocean basins, the researchers said.

The amount of variables in planet formation and the vastness of space and time allow even the most unlikely possibilities to occur. There is also good evidence that the laws of physics can be different in other parts of the universe. It's fascinating to contemplate what strange worlds are out there and what strange creatures live on or in them.

This would, however, "lubricate" the mantle underneath the continental masses, which could result in them shifting around more rapidly than Earth's do. Whether that would be good or bad for evolution is unclear.

Not so simple the reality.
Planet should be outside the temperate zone that gravity had less negative effects ... within the temperate zone they are mostly, and ourselves, the stars.
