    I am fairly sure Earth’s radius is somewhat 6 km, so something with an 48 km radius would be 42 km above Earth’s surface, where we experience 1 G.

    Can you explain please, where I made a mistake?

      Your mistake is thinking Earth is 6km in radius! :D 6km is how far you walk in an hour. Either you think Earth 1000 times too small or kilometer 1000 times too big.

        😁 whooopsie! Haha. Yeah, it’s somewhat 6000 km I mean. Sorry for my stupidity here today… Thank you very much for explaining my dumb mistake instead of making fun! Time to sleep now, I guess. Thank you!
