If you find a planet like earth with life , but is 100 times larger ,would the life forms be 100 times larger also ?

They’d likely be smaller due to stronger gravitational effects.

probably smaller- the gravity would be too intense for 100 times larger

There is a very good chance that it would be large like the dinosaurs as the massive Earth might have a greater gravitational pull.
But their could just as easily be “normal” sized critters if their skeletons are made of stronger stuff than ours.

No, they'd just be 100 times smarter with 100 times bigger brains. Even the bird brains would be 100 times larger than our birds, which would make their birds smarter than us humans (or, maybe not).

The gravity on such a large planet could be similar to earths. Gravitational attraction is a function of mass and diameter; if the density of the planet is low, a huge planet could have surface gravity similar to our own.
