The escape velocity from the Earth's surface is v. The escape velocity from the surface of another planet having a radius, four times that of Earth and same mass density is :
"v=\\sqrt{gR}=\\sqrt{\\frac{GM}R}=\\sqrt{\\frac{G\\rho V}R}=\\sqrt{\\frac{G\\rho \\frac 43 \\pi R^3}R}=R\\sqrt{\\frac 43\\pi \\rho G,}"
"v\\sim R,"
"v_2=4v_1."
