heavy would imply weight wouldn’t it? if they are all in orbit wouldn’t 10,000 baby elephants weigh the same as 3, the same weight as a football field, or an Olympic sized swimming pool, and the same as a single can of Dr Pepper?
It could also imply mass which doesn’t change regardless of gravity.
Also being in orbit doesn’t significantly reduce the amount of gravity impacting the object. The reason astronauts feel weightless is because bring in orbit means they are moving fast enough to keep missing the object they are orbiting. So it isn’t a lack of gravity, it is constant free fall.
