How many million tons does the earth weigh?

Between its size, composition, and the distribution of its matter, the Earth has a mass of 5.9736×10²⁴ kg (~5.97 billion trillion metric tons) or 1.31668×10²⁵ lbs (6.585 billion trillion tons).

How many sextillion tons does the earth weigh?

Earth weigh-in in at 5.972 sextillion metric tons.

Does Earth have a weight limit?

Many scientists think Earth has a maximum carrying capacity of 9 billion to 10 billion people. ... The 3.5 billion acres would produce approximately 2 billion tons of grains annually, he explained.

How many tons are in the earth?

The weight of the earth has been computed by scientists at approximately six sextilllon tons (six followed by 21 ciphers). The mass of the earth is found by comparing its gravitational attraction on a small sphere at Its surface with that of a large sphere of known mass on the same small sphere.

Does Earth's weight ever change?

Scientists estimate that the Earth gains about 40,000 tonnes of material each year from the accretion of meteoric dust and debris from space. So, this loss of mass has no effect on planet Earth – or on humans. ...

How heavy is the moon?

Mass, density and gravity

The moon's mass is 7.35 x 10²² kg, about 1.2 percent of Earth's mass. Put another way, Earth weighs 81 times more than the moon. The moon's density is 3.34 grams per cubic centimeter (3.34 g/cm³).

Does the Earth weigh 6 sextillion tons?

While mass and weight are not interchangeable (weight is variable, while mass is constant), Cavendish's “weighing the world” experiment yielded a result of approximately 6 sextillion tons. The total mass of Earth's atmosphere is about 5.5 quadrillion tons, or roughly one millionth of Earth's mass.

What is the max population the world can sustain?

The average American uses about 9.7 hectares. These data alone suggest the Earth can support at most one-fifth of the present population, 1.5 billion people, at an American standard of living.

What happens when Earth reaches carrying capacity?

This earth too. When we will reach our carrying capacity (I hope we will not see anytime), water, food, shelter and resources will be very limited (per capita). People will be unhappy due to hunger (or maybe due to other reasons). ... The Earth will be fine but will have no trees and a lot of polluted water in the ocean.

How many tons is the sun?

The sun has a mass of 1.9891x10³⁰ kg = 4.384x10³⁰ lb = 2.192x10²⁷ tons, or a mass 333,000 times that of the Earth. The radius of the Sun is 696,265,000 meters = 696,265 km = 432,639 mi or a radius 109 times that of the Earth. The volume of the Sun is so huge that it could hold over 1 million Earths.

How old is the Earth?

Earth is estimated to be 4.54 billion years old, plus or minus about 50 million years. Scientists have scoured the Earth searching for the oldest rocks to radiometrically date.

What does Earth's water weigh?

The total mass of Earth's hydrosphere is about 1.4 × 10¹⁸ tonnes, which is about 0.023% of Earth's total mass. At any given time, about 20 × 10¹² tonnes of this is in the form of water vapor in the Earth's atmosphere (for practical purposes, 1 cubic meter of water weighs one tonne).
