The population of earth is increasing each year.Is the weight of earth increasing each year?

The weight of the Earth is not increasing each year due to the population increase.\n\nFirstly, the net weight of the Earth is probably maintained as the weight increase in the population is offset by the loss in weight of food consumed.\n\nSecondly, if you compare the weight of the 6 billion people to the mass of the Earth, it is negligible. Something like 0.000000000006%.\n\nSome Calculations.\n\nMass of Earth = 5.9742 × 10^24 Kg\n\nThat's 5,974,200,000,000,000,000,000,000 Kg\n\nIf we take 6 billion people on Earth with an average of 60 Kg per person.\n\n6,000,000,000 x 60 kg = 360,000,000,000 Kg\n\nThe whole of 6 billion people will only contribute a miserable 0.000000000006% to the Earth's mass.

The earth has mass, weight depends on gravitic pull.\n\nEarth's Weight (Mass): 5.972 sextillion (1,000 trillion) metric tons. That's 5,972,000,000,000,000,000,000 tons

No, the Earth moves around the sun at a rate of once per year.\n\nReligion cannot beat fact.

The population of the earth is 6.25 billion. The population of the U.S. is in excess of 300,000,000. Mud people, quit breeding.

What is the question?  Earth's gravity is a huge subject, best answered with some existing web sites.  I would read the sources below first.

Probably won't work.  If you assume 10 billion people with an average weight of 150 lbs, the mass of the earth is about 10,000,000,000,000 (10^13) times greater.  If everyone jumped up and down, even on the same side of the Earth, it wouldn't affect the earth's momentum or motion in it's orbit.  The acceleration applied by the mass of people is just too small.  Think of it as being in the 13th decimal place(0.0000000000001), it's essentially unnoticeable.

No, because conservation of momentum means the earth is a closed system. Plus, the earth weighs 5.972 sextillion metric tons (5,972 followed by 18 zeros)\n\nThe total earth population is currently 6,522,008,632. So assuming the whole world's population stood on one side ot the world and they were all typical Americans and weighed an averaged140kg each, the total human weight would come to 913081208480kg or approx 913,081,208 metric tons or roughly a giga ton (I forgot to include some of the larger than average Americans in my averages anyway) so the earth weighs approximately 5.972*10^9 times as much. Basically, you got more chance of propelling yourself to Mars by squeezing a zit on your face (even if your a really spotty teenager) than us all jumping and knocking the earth off orbit. \n\nHowever, if you got all those yanks to throw down a days worth of Big Macs at once, you might actually do it.\n\nDoesn't this make you feel really puny and immaterial to the world? Just be grateful you don't live on a gas giant.

are they sure that it will hit earth in that year? Maybe it will hit earth much later, or maybe they'll find a way to stop it. I don't know, the size, but asteroids sure are large, but maybe it'll be just a small collision that the earth will not split up and humankind will not be...destroyed.

It has been estimated that 100,000 tonnes of extraterrestrial material reach the Earth's surface every year. It can be anything from fine dust to metallic masses weighing many tonnes.\nExtraterrestrial material that falls towards the Earth is classified by size. The majority of this material is in the form of tiny particles called micrometeorites. They fall continuously, and arrive unnoticed.

Depends where you look. We don't have records long enough to look at the statistics of earthwuakes for the whole of the Earth.\n\nHowever, over time, some areas become more active and some less so.

If one could actually weigh the Earth, the answer would be yes because the mass has increased over the past millions years due to falling of metorites onto the Earth's surface. I forget how many metorites fall onto the Earth each day but it is in the thousands. Most burn up in the atmosphere, but the atmosphere is part of the Earth and the resulting material is added to the balance of the mass.

jinde, hi!\n\nwhat an amazing question!  i remember reading about this somewhere, so it took me so long to research it...\n\nsee, when we talk about weight, it varies from spot to spot in the universe.  you may weigh 60kgs on Earth.  but on the moon, you'd be 10kgs.  on Jupiter, you'd be 600000kgs!!!\n\nwhat we need to discuss is the mass of the object, because that would be the only thing that makes sense on the Galactic scale.  are you ready for the answer?  it's gonna be mind-boggling!\n\nThe Earth's mass is approximately 6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (6E+24) kilograms!!\n\ni know what you're next question will be?\n\n"How did they measure that?"  i have the answer for you!\n\nthe measurement of the planet's weight is derived from the gravitational attraction that the Earth has for objects near it.\n\nit turns out that any two masses have a gravitational attraction for one another. if you put two iron weights near each other, they will attract one another gravitationally. the attraction is extremely slight, but if your instruments are sensitive enough you can measure the gravitational attraction that they have on one another. from that measurement, you could determine the mass of the two objects. the same is true for two marbles too! but the attraction is even slighter because the amount of gravitational force depends on mass of the objects...\n\nNewton showed that, for spherical objects, you can make the simplifying assumption that all of the object's mass is concentrated at the center of the sphere... and the following equation expresses the gravitational attraction that two spherical objects have on one another :\nF = G * M1 * M2 / R2\n\n    * R is the distance separating the two objects.\n    * G is a constant that is 6.67259x10-11m3/s2 kg.\n    * M1 and M2 are the two masses that are attracting each other.\n    * F is the force of attraction between them. \n\nassume that Earth is one of the masses (M1) and a 1-kg sphere is the other (M2).  the force between them is 9.8 kg*m/s2 -- we can calculate this force by dropping the 1-kg sphere and measuring the acceleration that the Earth's gravitational field applies to it (9.8 m/s2)...\n\nthe 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 (6E+24 kilograms / 1.3E+25 pounds)...\n\nhope this made sense... and if it did, i hope it was useful to you...\n\ndo write me if you need more clarification...\n\nenjoy!

If the Earth's radius were bigger, and the mass of it stayed the same, then you would weigh lighter.  That's because with a bigger radius, you're farther away from the centre of gravity, therefore less pull.  If the mass change, then the situation would be different.

to many \n\n\nIn the 6 seconds it takes you to read this sentence, 17 people will be added to the Earth's population. Within an hour, California's population will grow by 60 people - that's one person\na minute. California's population in 2004 was over 36.8million - and adding 539,000 annually. Recent projections predict a population of 50 million people by 2030. \n\n\n\nThe United States is the third most populous country on Earth .
