you dont even have a correct concept of 3 and 4 dimensions
think of
2 and 3 dimensions
a real 2 d object can be simulated by a very very thin sheet of paper
how much 3 d space is taken up by an 2 d object that has 0 thickness
- nineteenthlyLv 71 year ago
Kind of, yes. Large concentrated masses distort space around them slightly causing a gravity well, which is a four-dimensional phenomenon.

No, since there is nothing to "displace" in the 4th dimension.
Planets only displace space in the three known dimensions.

Yes. Time is the 4th dimension. Didn't I already answer this question?
Planets have mass. Mass means an object has gravity gravity and mass displace the spatial dimensions,
but it also "displaces, dilates time, the temporal dimension. Time runs slower the deeper in gravity well the clock is compared to how fast a clock that is NOT as deep in the gravity well is ticking. This effect has been measured. The objects with mass do NOT have to be moving at speeds close to the speed of light for time dilation, or displacement in time to happen.
OK. I DID answer this exact same question.

The effect of massive bodies on space (or spacetime) can be compared to the displacement of space (or spacetime) into some higher dimension, but it doesn't actually have to be that.

Yes, that is why space is shrinking.
