Best Answer

The earth weighs about 13,227,735,730,800,000,000,000,000 pounds (or about 6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilograms). I don't know how much that is in grams, so please don't ask :)

I think it's 5,358,359,254,990,966,640,871,840 kilograms give or take a meteor or two.

The good humor of the above answer notwithstanding, the earth is, in fact, weightless. The pound is a measure of weight, and weight is meaningless for objects that are flying around is space. The earth's mass is a much more important measure. The earth's mass is 5.9736 × 1024 kg as suggested above. If you want an equivalence in pounds just for the sake of comparison, I would argue that using the earth's gravity as a reference might not be correct. If anything, the earth is under the gravitational influence of the sun, to which it is theoretically 'falling' in its orbital journey. Wouldn't it make more sense to calculate the "weight" of earth based on the weight of one gram as measured at our distance from the sun?
The radius of the Earth is 6,400,000 meters (6,999,125 yards). If you plug all of these values in and solve for M1, you find that the mass of the Earth is 6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilograms (6E+24 kilograms / 1.3E+25 pounds)

If the earth weighs 6 Septillion tons, you have to do 6 Septillion x 1 Ton = 120,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 or 120 Septillion Pounds
6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (6E+24) kilograms or 1.3E+25 pounds based on gravitational attraction.

The sun has no weight, as weight is the force a mass exerts due to gravity. The sun has a mass of 1.9891×1030kg.

In the non-standard unit of American imperial pounds, this is 4.3852×1030lb.

The weight of any object ... whether it's a speck of dust on a shelf, a meteoroid,

a puppy, or a star ... is determined by the object's mass AND by other masses

around it AND by the distance between them. That's why the same object weighs

different amounts on the Earth and on the Moon, for instance.

The sun's mass is about 1.989 x 1030 kilograms. If you weigh 150 pounds on Earth, and

you took a quick trip to the sun, you would weigh about 4,191 pounds on the sun, and

the sun would weigh the same amount on you. (That's 67,056 ounces.)

It is impossible to weigh parts of the sun. Though if you had one cup of the sun it would weigh eight ounces.

Why are neutron stars so heavy?

Neutron stars are so heavy because they are the compact core of a star that is 8 time the mass of our Sun. The most massive neutron stars possible are 3 times the mass of our Sun.


Is the sun core is of rock?

The Sun is not made of Rocks or Iron or Sand or any heavy element. There are certainly a small fraction of heavy nuclei in the Sun, but that is a very small part of the make up of the Sun. (Scientists have a very detailed understanding of the elements in the Sun since these can be detected as absorption lines in the spectrum of light from the Sun.) Overwhelmingly the Sun is made of two gases, Hydrogen and Helium. It is the fusion of hydrogen into helium that is the nuclear reaction that powers the Sun and gives us sunlight.

How heavy is the sun compared to the earth?

The Sun has a mass of 1.9891×10^30 kg. The Earth has a mass of 5.9736 x 10^24 kg. So the Sun is about 332,900 times heavier than the Earth.


How long can you stare at the sun?

Do not stare at the sun, you may damage your eyes or become blind. If the day is cloudy, it is possible to stare at the sun through a heavy filter of clouds, but even then, it's not really a good idea.
