How much does the earth weigh in pounds 2012?

Best Answers

The radius of the Earth is 6,400,000 meters (6,999,125 yards). If you plug all of these values in and solve for M1, you find that the mass of the Earth is 6,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000 kilograms (6 x 1024 kilograms, or 1.3 x 1025 pounds). read more

Earth is also the densest planet in the Solar System, with a mean density of 5.514 g/cm 3 (0.1992 lbs/cu in). Between its size, composition and the distribution of its matter, the Earth has a mass of 5.9736×10 24 kg (5.9 trillion trillion kilograms) or 1.31668×10 25 lbs (13 billion trillion tons). read more

That’s 5,972,000,000,000,000,000,000 tons and gaining! Scientists refer to this measurement as the Earth’s mass instead of weight since weight is the result of Earth’s gravitational pull on another object, and the Earth cannot pull on itself! As the Earth orbits the Sun, it is weightless. read more
