The Earth isn't expanding ... much. It does gain several tons a day from "space dust" falling onto it, but even several tons a day is negligible compared to the overall mass of the Earth.
The Earth is actually shrinking. Though it may not seem like it. Slowly, but surely, the land across the earth is sinking back into the water..
What else can I help you with?
Scientists determined this was expanding by using the spectrograph?
Scientists determined that the object was expanding by analyzing its light spectrum using a spectrograph. By observing the Doppler shift in the spectral lines, scientists could infer the motion of the object relative to Earth, leading to the conclusion that it was moving away and expanding.
If the Sun turned into a red giant then a white dwarf with a nebula would this mean the end of life on earth?
It would. Current models suggest that Earth will actually be consumed and destroyed by the expanding sun. However, life on Earth will end long before that. The sun is very slowly expanding, which causes it to put out more heat and light. In about 800 million to 1 billion years Earth will become too hot to support liquid water.
What made Hubble think the universe was expanding?
Hubble observed that galaxies were moving away from each other, indicating that the universe is expanding. He discovered a relationship between a galaxy's distance from Earth and its velocity, known as Hubble's law, providing evidence for this expansion.
Are you going to die because the sun is getting bigger?
No. The sun is expanding, but extremely slowly. It is estimated that Earth will become uninhabitable in about 800 million years.
The discovery of a red shift in the spectra of galaxies provided evidence that the universe is?
expanding
What is the earth expanding into?
The Earth isn't "expanding" into anything.
Is the earth expanding?
No.

What year did the earth expand in the big bang theory?
It is the Universe that expanded, not specifically the Earth. Earth was formed much later than the Big Bang.

What will happen if the earth expands?
I am the one who asked this question and I think the earth's will be smaller as the inner part of the earth is expanding The outer part of the earth is also expanding ans will crack as too much of expansion take place?Pllease do not conclude the explaination as this is only logic thinking not scientisfic logic
Are earth's deserts receding?
No, many deserts around the world are expanding, not receding.

How does ice erosion effect Earth's surface?
It doesnt effect the earths surface, it affects the the earth surface by expanding cracks in the ground.
If plates are constantly moving why isn't the earth expanding?
The movement of Earth's tectonic plates involves both creation and destruction of crust. While new crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges, it is also destroyed at subduction zones. This process maintains a relatively stable size for the Earth.
How the earth is expanding?
It isn't as far as I know. If anything it is slowly shrinking as it cools over the millennia.
When should the earth be moved out of its orbit?
In approx 7 billion years because the expanding Sun will swallow planet earth in about 8 billion years, by then all of the air & water should be pumped underground & humanity will be living underground on planet earth because if water & air remained on the surface of the earth it would evapourate out into space due to the heat of the expanding sun. It will take 6.24x10^17 Megatons of TNT to move the earth out of its orbit.
How has the expanding earth theory changed over time?
By now, this should not still be a theory, it should be common knowledge.
