Meh, I don’t like to get into that stuff. Science and BIONICLE don’t mix very well IMO.

G is just smaller in the BIONICLE universe. 
Here’s a theory: What if EP doesn’t have a gravitational pull? Maybe that’s why it wrecked Spherus Magna. It took up space, but was being pushed on by the outer surface of the planet.
I confused myself.
uhm… I’m pretty sure that’s not… even BIONICLE physics… no?
I’m actually severely confused here, hold on…
Are you saying that, EP wasn’t being affected by gravity? Because we know for a fact that it does, or else there’s no way EP pools could be a thing.
Still confused…
Not saying it isn’t affected by gravity. Just that it doesn’t have a gravitational pull on other objects. It is affected by the force of gravity, but doesn’t cause gravity itself.
So, it was pushing against the outer surface of the planet.
When the Fire Tribe tried to tap into the power of the EP, maybe it caused it to not be affected by gravity either, causing the planet to rupture.
About as big, if not bigger, than Dominaria. For those of you who don’t know what that is, that’s around 3 times the size of Earth.
The problem with size in bionicle is that it’s incredibly inconsistent. The GSR realistically can’t be anywhere near 40,000,000 ft tall. Allow me to explain:
Christian Faber designed the island of Mata Nui partially off of Denmark, the canon legth of the island being almost exactly the same as Denmark. From the size of Denmark he calculated the height of the GSR’s height at 3150 km, based off of the fact that the island of Mata Nui covered the GSR’s entire head. That being said, when compared with the canon height of the GSR (40,000,000 ft or 12192 km) it’s obvious that the GSR’s canon height is 3.87 times what it should be. That being said, I plan to base my estimation of Spherus Magna on Faber’s calculations rather than the canon height of the GSR.
Now based on this video, also released by Faber, I’d estimate that Aqua Magna was at most twice the size of Earth, with Bota Magna being approximately somewhere between 2.5-3 times the size of Earth.
That leaves Bara Magna, which would obviously have to be at least twice the size of Bota Magna, putting it at a minimum of 6 times the size of Earth. However I’d say it’s even larger than that, probably weighing in at 8 times the size of Earth, or one Earth less than the size of Saturn.
Now that that’s all sorted out, we can return to the root of the matter, Spherus Magna. Now based on my previous numbers, the combined size of all of the pieces of Spherus Magna is at maximum 13 times the size of Earth. That being said all of the numbers I have stated have been in ranges, and factoring in the craters on either side of Bara Magna, I’d estimate the approximate size of Spherus Magna at about 11 times the size of Earth, or approximately the size of Jupiter with a radius of about 70,000 km.
Now I would remind you that these are my base estimates made from various images I’ve seen as well as the non-canon height of the GSR. If you want to scale my estimates to the canon height, you can multiply them by 3.87, but even then, it is still only my estimates.
