Why The Earth Become Heavier?

Answer Question

3 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Scientist have calculated the estimate that Earth does get heavier everyday which is equal to hundred million 108kg mass.
    WHY because when meteors burn in the sky their mass come down to earth! It causes the weight of earth grow!

      Hi Zigg

      Earth's mass are made by calculating backward from a measured gravitational force. But due to inconsistencies in the Earth's density and a non-spherical shape, the force of gravity is not constant and therefore this method isn't exactly perfect.

      Still, we can guess about these things. Scientists estimate that the Earth gains an average of about a hundred million (10^8) kilograms of mass every day.

      Which may sound like a lot, but compared to the total mass of the Earth (ten thousand million million times more), it's not much at all. In the unlikely event that the Earth continues to accumulate mass like this forever, it would take 10^14 days, or 280 billion years to even accumulate 1% more mass. That's 20 times the current age of the universe. So don't hold your breath.
