According to google, the Earth weighs 5.972 × 10^24 kg, So that’s 5,972,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg which is 5.972 quadrillion kg! HEAVY :O

Is it because more and more people are being born so the weight from the new humans are adding to the weight of the world?
Carl commented on :
Good thinking. Earth is getting heavier because there is so much dust from outer space landing on the surface, usually plonking into the sea and sinking to the bottom. Cool eh?
