How much mass does earth have?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

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.

Answer 7

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.)

Answer 8

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.

Answer 9

The mass of the Earth is approximately 5.97 x 10^24 kilograms.

Answer 10

it is 6123.52 this is what i read in a scientist book
