    Also i wonder since the diameter is larger, is this effectively like putting everything in a higher orbit which is also more difficult then if it was just twice as dense.

      That really depends on the atmosphere. The lower the orbit the easier, but if you have too much drag from the atmosphere, you ain’t staying on that orbit easily
