Earth is a wonderful planet where humans reside. There is no possibility of life found on any planet yet.

Earth is the third farthest planet from the Sun, and Mars and Mercury come before Earth. It is the only planet on which oxygen and water are available. Earth looks spherical, but it is not a perfect radially symmetrical sphere. The total circumference of the earth is 40075 km. You already know that the Earth revolves around the Sun. It is a different matter that you do not realize it. The sun remains the primary source of all energies on Earth.

This makes us question our curiosities about mother earth. One of the most asked questions in laymen’s language is – How much does the earth weigh?

If it is seen in tons, then the weight of the earth is 5,972,000,000,000,000,000,000 tons.

How Much Does The Earth Weigh?

Do you know how much you weigh? You know for sure, but if you do not know how many kilograms the entire Earth of the Solar System weighs, then keep reading!

Readers, today we are going to inform you about the actual weight of the earth as well as a few amazing things about how the earth amazes us all the time. So let’s start this discussion.

So, how much does our earth weigh? This question must have crossed your mind many times. You may have also wondered whether such a large scale would have yet been made in order to measure the weight of such large earth.

If we are talking about how much does the earth weigh, it is so much that you may not even understand at once. First, we may tell you the weight of the earth in the language of mathematics. Earth’s weight is 5.972 × 10^24 kg.

Yes, that is a figure worthy of a slight gasp!

But in simple terms, the weight of the earth is 5,972,000,000,000,000,000,000 tons.

2. Weight, Size, Distance, and Other Curious Things About Earth

Earlier it was believed that the Earth was entirely flat, but as time passed and scientists discovered, it was found that the Earth is not flat but round. From then till today, the same thing has been proven. Everyone is aware of that fact. But there is more to earth than a common man is aware of.

1. Earth’s Speed

You will be surprised to know that the velocity of the earth is around 1,07,826 mph. Not only this, the Earth rotates around its axis at a velocity of about 1000 mph.

2. Extreme Climates of The Earth

The hottest place on this planet is Libya, and the coldest place is Antarctica.

3. Planet with Life

Earth is the only planet where life is possible. If not for Earth, there would exist no such planet in the universe where a human being can survive and live a life.

4. Importance of Water on Earth

Water covers about 71% of the Earth’s surface, and 29% is covered by land. Earth’s surface consists of many plates; water is found in 3 states. A thick layer of ice is frozen at both poles of the earth.

5. Origin of Earth

Radiometric dating and other studies have led scientists to conclude that the Earth’s beginning occurred 4.54 billion years ago.

6. Origin of Life on Earth

Organisms began to evolve in the oceans billions of years before the Earth was conceived. Later, anaerobic and aerobic bacteria started to proliferate as a result of the gradual impact that organisms were having on the Earth’s atmosphere.

7. Evolution of Humans on Earth

Geological evidence suggests that the beginning of life on Earth must have occurred 4.1 billion years ago. During the period when life began to emerge on Earth, biodiversity also saw tremendous growth. During this time, thousands of species vanished, and thousands of new species emerged.

8. Favorable Conditions on The Earth

The diversity of life on Earth has increased due to the Earth’s distance from the Sun and the ideal environment and temperature.

9. Gases Present on Earth

The Earth’s atmosphere is made up of numerous layers, just like the planet’s surface. The two elements with the highest concentrations on Earth are nitrogen and oxygen. 
In addition to this, the earth’s atmosphere contains an ozone gas layer that deflects dangerous ultraviolet light from the sun.

10. Atmosphere on Earth

Because of the atmosphere’s density, some sunlight is transformed. As a result, the Sun’s temperature is managed. A meteorite that enters the atmosphere of the Earth from the universe either burns up or fragments into small pieces due to air friction.

11. Geography of Earth

Stones and clay make up the very hard top layer of the ground. Tectonic plates moved from one location to another during history, making up its top landmass. Many kinds of natural formations exist on its surface, including plateaus, continents, islands, rivers, and oceans.

12. Crust of Earth

The crust, mantle, and core are the three layers that make up the Earth’s interior structure. One layer of the Earth’s inner core, where iron and nickel interact with the inner core to create a magnetic field, is solid, and the outer core layer is in a liquid condition. Different kinds of charged particles can’t enter because of the magnetic field around the Earth.

13. Distance from The Sun

50 million kilometers or so separate the Earth from the Sun. The largest rocky planet in the solar system, Earth is the third planet from the Sun in terms of distance. The Earth rotates around the Sun once every 365 days. The Earth is inclined 23.5 degrees to its axis, which causes different types of seasons to shift.

14. Generation of Tides

In a 24-hour period, the Earth makes one rotation around its axis. This results in day and night. The Moon is the only Earth satellite that is close to the planet and is responsible for creating the tides in this area.

15. The Moon

Earth’s satellite is the Moon which revolves around the Earth. Similarly, our Earth revolves around the Sun.

16. Gravity is Not Uniform

You will definitely be surprised to know that Earth’s gravity isn’t uniform because of the speed of the Earth and its imperfect shape. Gravity is found to be much higher at the poles compared to the equator.

17. The Name ‘Earth’

The Sanskrit word Prithvi, also known as Prithvi, signifies “a large land.” The earth was given the name Prithvi after Maharaja Prithu, according to tradition. Other names for the earth include Mahi, Vikeshi, Avani, Medini, Dhara, Rasa, Vasundhara, Dharani, Dharti, and among others.

The Earth holds many secrets, and most of them lead us to missions like mining unknown earth metals or researching the atmospheric compositions and layers of the atmosphere. Yes, the atmosphere has weight, and that counts as the weight of the planet,  but more importantly, the crust and the solid spherical mass of the earth are referred to as the weight of the Earth.
