The Earth doesn't "weigh" anything, because the concept of weight only applies to a body which is resisting a gravitational field. The Earth is in free orbit around the Sun.
The MASS of the Earth is approximately 5.97e24 kilograms, or 5,970,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg.
This is approximately 13e24 pounds, or 1,300,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 pounds.
according to my calculations, Earth should have at least 6.6 sextillion tons of mass, meaning it has, 6,600,000,000,000,000,000,000 tons of mass. I might be wrong because that my calculations came from world book 2006
The Earth's mass is 5.9736 x 1024 kilograms. That, we can say with assurance.
It's not so easy to say what the Earth's weightis, because the weight of any mass
depends on what else is nearby. Most people have heard by now that a 200-pound man
weighs only 33.1 pounds on the Moon.
If you take one Earth mass, crunch it down somehow to the size of a Basketball,
and then set it down on the ground in your back yard, it weighs
13,169,500,000,000,000,000,000,000 pounds.
If you take it to the moon and set it down on the ground there, it only weighs
2,179,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 pounds up there.
Every time you take it to a different place, the weight changes.
Here's something cool to think about. I don't know how much you weigh, so I'll
tell you this one with me playing the leading role:
What if you take the Earth, in its present familiar almost-spherical shape, and
put it on me ? What would it weigh ?
That's a very easy question to answer. When I get on the bathroom scale to measure
my weight on Earth, I read 186 pounds. We know that the forces of gravity are equal
in both directions between two masses. So we can either immediately state the Earth's
weight on me, or if you prefer, I can measure it. I turn the bathroom scale over, so that
its feet point up at me and the numbers point down at the floor, and then I stand on it
again. The numbers then display the Earth's weight on me . . . 186 pounds, just as Newton
would have expected.
The Earth has a mass
of 5.9736×
1024kg. The weight
of the Earth, on the other hand, would depend on what object was imposing its gravitational field on the Earth.
The mass of the Earth is estimated to be 6 sextillion, 588 quintillion short tons (6.6 sextillion short tons) or 5.9736 x 1024 kilograms. A short ton equals 2,000 pounds as opposed to a long ton, the unit used in Great Britain, which equals 2,240 pounds. The Earth has an average density of 5.52 grams per cubic centimeter, which is 5.52 times the average density of water (the standard). The method for calculating the mass of the Earth was adopted by the International Astronomical Union in 1964 and recognized by the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics in 1967.
My mass never changes, and neither does yours. It's the same wherever you go, even in space when you're weightless and bouncing off the walls of the spacecraft. Your weight is what changes when you leave the earth. Your weight is the effect that gravity has on your mass. My mass is 5.906 slugs, or about 86.3 kilograms.
The earth's mass (rounded) is 5.97 x 1024 kilograms.
5,970,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg
If that much mass could be on the earth, all painted on its surface
at the same distance from the center that we are, it would weigh:
1.316 x 1025 (1,316,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) pounds
or
6.58 x 1021 (6,580,000,000,000,000,000,000) tons
(Obviously, all of these numbers are rounded.)
The Sun has a mass of 1.9891×1030 kg and the Earth has a mass of 5.9736 × 1024 kg
So a quick addition gives a total of 1.9891059736 x 1030
So the Earth's addition made no real difference.
it is 6123.52 this is what i read in a scientist book
No, they do not have the same mass. The moon has much less mass than Earth.
-- Your weight depends on the mass of the other mass to which you are gravitationallyattracted, and also on your distance from its center.-- The mass of the moon is much less than the mass of the Earth.-- The moon's surface is much closer to its center than the Earth's surface is to its center.
No. The mass of the sun is much larger than the mass of the earth, so the earth is regarded as orbiting around the sun.
Because the Earth has 80 times as much mass as the Moon has, and the greater radius of the Earth is not enough to cancel the effect of the mass difference.
the mass of an object is the same, no matter where it is.
No, they do not have the same mass. The moon has much less mass than Earth.
It is about 4.87 x 1024 kilograms. That's about 81.5% of the Earth's mass.
the mantle holds 85% of the Earth mass
Mercury has a mass of 0.33x1024kg, and Earth has a mass of 5.97x1024kg. Thus, Mercury has a smaller mass than earth (or, in other words, Earth has a mass that's about 18x greater than that of Mercury).
about 72.5%. :)
Earth has a much greater mass than Pluto does, and therefore has stronger gravity.
The Moon's radius is slightly over a quarter that of Earth's, but its mass is only about 1/80 as much as the Earth's mass.
-- Your weight depends on the mass of the other mass to which you are gravitationallyattracted, and also on your distance from its center.-- The mass of the moon is much less than the mass of the Earth.-- The moon's surface is much closer to its center than the Earth's surface is to its center.
Earth's mass is 5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg.
one third
No. Earth's gravity is due to Earth's own mass. The moon has its own gravity due to its mass, but that gravity is much weaker than Earth's.
