    This might work for you - I made it up to help me get somewhat realistic numbers for worlds.

    This is my latest incarnation of it - and it is an excel spreadsheet.

    The yellow-highlighted variables are ones you can change. All the remaining variables are calculated from those you entered.


    The variables that are linked to something so far:

    Star Temperature Surface
    Star Mass (kg)
    Star Radius (km)
    Distance from Star (km)
    Planet Mass (kg)
    Planet R (km)
    Planet Albedo
    Percent Water
    Percent Land
    Average Ocean Depth (km)

    Entering these produces these variables:

    Planet Volume
    Planet Surface Area
    Planet Density
    Universal gravitational Constant
    Planet Gravity
    Planet Escape Velocity
    Planet Temperature
    Planet Temperature
    Surface Area Water
    Surface Area Land
    Volume Ocean


    The water-related variables likely aren't accurate - I'm just making those up to see how they "feel", as I've not seen any calculations that really will help me here.

    p.s., I used http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun numbers to test this out.
