Is the world getting hotter

Answer 1

Good question. Yes, the earth is getting heavier because it accumulates cosmic rubble such as meteors, dust, comets, cosmic rays. It loses mass too because of some gas being swept off by solar winds, and of course a tiny amount from spacecraft. In total it is believed to get heavier by 10,000 tons to 100,000 tons per year. The estimates vary widely. But whatever the increase in weight, it too would vary widely from year to year. It is actually possible to measure this mass increase by collecting the debris that falls from the sky on a measured area and then sorting the debris. This would make a good science project for an enterprising student.

Answer 2

Yes, global temperatures have been rising over the past century due to increasing greenhouse gas emissions from human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation. This has led to changes in weather patterns, melting polar ice caps, and rising sea levels.

Answer 3

No
