The Weight of things

Unread post by asajosh »

I was re-reading a post asking how long it would take to create a planet with spells like create dirt and dirt to iron... and it got me to thinking: as a planet is way to big for even an army of mages/warlocks to try to create, but what about a hollow iron sphere? The beginnings of a TW space ship perhaps?
Well since all these spells go by an amount of weight per casting, gonna need to know the weight of things (not just for this app, but many others).
Found a handy chart, enjoy:

Be at peace, my people. All shall be looked up.

for that you only need the circumfrance of the planet, multiplied by however many feet thick you want it to be.
