All matter, on Earth or off, has inertia.
Inertia
The Earth's inertia is caused by its mass, which is the amount of matter it contains. The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia. This means that the Earth tends to resist changes in its motion due to its large mass.
Any object that has a mass greater than 100 gram, will also have more inertia. By the way whether it is on Earth or not is irrelevant. If you take a 100-gram mass anywhere else, it will still have 100 gram; and the inertia (which depends on the mass) will also be the same.
Gravity and inertia are two separate forces that act on objects. Gravity is the force that pulls objects towards each other, while inertia is an object's resistance to changes in motion. Inertia causes objects to continue moving in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force, such as gravity pulling the object towards a gravitational center. So, gravity can influence an object's inertia by changing its motion through acceleration or deceleration.
Yes, inertia is a property of matter where it tends to resist changes in its motion. All objects, regardless of size or mass, exhibit inertia.
gravity and inertia combine to keep earth in orbit because the suns gravity keeps the earth in orbit and the inertia keeps the earth from going in a straight line.
Yes. Toast is definitely "a inertia." (sic) In fact, anything on the earth's surface has inertia simply because the earth spins so fast.
inertia is weird. haha.
Objects on Earth, including ourselves, are all moving along with the Earth as it rotates on its axis. This movement is due to inertia, the tendency of objects to remain in motion unless acted upon by an external force. As a result, we do not feel the effects of Earth's rotation or crumble because we are all essentially moving at the same speed.
The inertia of earth combines with gravity to keep it from colliding with the sun

Inertia
well, assuming that the world wouldnt break if we didnt have inertia, in baseball, when you tried to catch a ball you would probably go flying backwards until other things stopped you (friction etc). you also probably wouldnt be able to run without the earth going all out of its path around the earth. every step you would take would push the earth because there is no inertia to keep the earth at one point
Gravity and inertia are the two forces that keep the moon and other satellites in orbit around Earth. Gravity pulls the moon towards Earth, while the moon's inertia keeps it moving forward in a curved path, resulting in a stable orbit.
The force of gravity and the inertia of the Earth (as it orbits the Sun). Also, gravity combined with the inertia of the Moon (as it orbits the Earth).

The mass of the gasses that make up our atmosphere weigh much more than the human population (1 trillionth of the earths mass) and move opportunistically into dense and low density pockets in all positions at all times on the globe and they have absolutely no effect on the rotational inertia. Consider the earth is not a solid mass inside or out, it is basically a hydraulic dampener. Now if you could generate sufficient vibration waves in order to harmonically disrupt the fluid dampening effect it would be possible for the system to fault and the earth to throw a bulge.
