    Wouldn’t that much stone alter gravity enough to raise the atmosphere?

      It definitely would, but I’m guessing you’d run into the issue of stability far before that.

      I’m also guessing that the ratio of atmospheric extension to terrain extension would be on the side of terrain extension. Gravity is a rather weak force in comparison to the other forces of the universe.

      This would be a fantastic xkcd “What if?” question if it isn’t already.
