Decreasing just a bit, but it is going to be several billion years before it becomes a problem. I wouldn't worry about it.

No. The mass of the earth is actually increasing as material constantly rains down from outer space, mostly in the form of microscopic dust.

What is the moon's mass compared to the earth's mass?

1 earth mass = 81.78 moon mass (rounded)1 moon mass = 0.01223 earth mass = 1.223% of earth mass (rounded)The mass of the moon is only 1.2 percent of the mass of Earth.


Why does earth have gravity when earth is in space?

because the earth has mass. Gravity is a the force of attraction that is related to the mass of an object. The greater the mass, the stronger the force of gravity.


What trends in the solubilities of the compounds of the alkaline earth metals can be inferred?

1) NaOH : two top alkaline earth metals' solubility is decreasing as we can see from cloudy to lots of solid and two bottom metals' solubility is also decreasing in observing difference amount of solid between Sr(NO3)2 and Ba(NO3)2 2) NaCl: all of the alkaline earth metals are soluble. 3) NABr: all of the alkaline earth metals are soluble. 4) NaI: all of the alkaline earth metals are soluble. 5) Na2SO4: solubility of alkaline earth metals is decreasing from clear to solid and cloudy. 6) Na2CO3: solubility of alkaline earth metals from Mg(No3)2 to Sr(NO3)2 is decreasing and after Sr(NO3)2, solubility is increasing. 7) Na2C2O4: solubility of alkaline earth metals is decreasing from clear to solid and cloudy.


Does the planet Earth have the property of mass?

yes the earth does have a mass because it also is affected by gravity, the gravity from the sun


What is the mass of air that surrounds the earth?

The mass that surrounds Earth is the atmosphere. The average of Earth's atmosphere is 5 quadrillions tons. I think that answered you question.

Why the gravity become decreasing by going to the center of earth?

As you go down, more mass will attract you from above, less mass from below.


How does decreasing the mass change the object's density?

Density is mass divided by volume. If the volume remains the same, decreasing the mass decreases the volume.


What are ways to decrease kinetic energy?

Decreasing the mass or Decreasing the velocity


Is the water in the earth increasing or decreasing?

Decreasing. . . . . .due to sun rays


Is any report that earth rotation speed decreasing?

Earth's rotation speed is gradually decreasing, as a result of the tides.


Is Earth's gravitational pull increasing and why?

No, scientists have not discovered any increase in the Earth's gravitational pull. In theory, Earth's gravity IS increasing, because the Earth's MASS is increasing. The Earth sweeps up a couple of TONS of meteor dust every day. However, considering the mass of the Earth itself, the increase in mass is entirely negligible.

What type of nuclear decay results in the atomic number decreasing by two and the mass decreasing by two?

Emission of an alpha particle.


Why acceleration due to gravity is decreasing in interior of earth?

All objects attract each other. The attraction of a body is greater when it has a greater mass. When you stand on the Earth's surface the whole of the Earth is beneath you, so the total of the Earth's mass is attracting you, and thus giving you your weight due to this "gravitational attraction". If you went down a very, very deep mineshaft you would still have most of the Earth's mass below you, but you would also have some of the Earth's mass above you. So most of the Earth's mass would be pulling you down, but some of the Earth's mass would be attracting you upwards. The combination of these two forces would be a lesser amount of gravitational attraction. So, the acceleration due to gravity would be less.


Is decreasing mass by one unit the emission of a beta pertical?

No. Beta emission does not change the mass of the atom.
