No. The "weight" of the Earth is a meaningless concept, because the Earth is in free-fall, in orbit around the Sun. How much does an astronaut in the International Space Station weigh? Nothing; he's "weightless", in free orbit. Same with the Earth itself.

The MASS of the Earth is actually increasing by a few hundred tons each day, as meteorites and cosmic dust fall into the Earth's gravity well.

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 pressure the force per unit area exerted by the weight of the atmosphere above a point on the earth's surface?

Yes, pressure is the force per unit area exerted by the weight of the atmosphere above a point on the Earth's surface. This pressure decreases with increasing altitude due to the decreasing weight of the air column above.

Is the earths spin increasing or decreasing daily or is it constant?

The Earth's rate of rotation is decreasing. Any hour, day, or week, is longer than the one before it was. The second, minute, year, decade, century, and millenium may change because of other effects, but they don't depend on Earth's rotation.


What has changed to cause the weight of the astronaut to be different?

weight= mass*gravity in this case, an astronauts mass has stayed the same, but the gravitational force acting upon him has decreased, decreasing his weight. gravity decreses because the astronaut is further from the centre of gravitational attraction (the earth)


How much material by weight falls to earth from space per day on average?

average of 40 tons per day of extraterrestrial material falls to the Earth


Why the weight of a body is less in a mine?

Gravitational force is between two object caused by energy in mass. Here when you are in a mine the radius of the earth in case of calculating gravity is reduced to the length between you and the center. This means the mass of earth is decreasing even though the distance is decreasing. Relative to the decrease in distance squared the decrease in the mass of the second object(earth) is more. As a result your weight(don't confuse with mass) decrease.


How to reduce wing flutter?
