If anyone of these planets is inhabited, its occupiers will be giants (due to increased gravity). Therefore, it would take them the same time that it takes us to cross their oceans.

Wouldn't it make it much harder to leave their planent because of increased gravity? Wouldn't this then set their race back on space exploration in omparison to humans (assuming near equal IQ)?

I guess so. Is gravity actually related to the planet's mass or size?

How about Jupiter and Saturn? They're density isn't that great compared to their size. I had always wondered if the rotation of the core has any effect on the gravity field.

Mass/density as opposed to Size so my sources tell me.
