0 because it's in space

Dumbass, can't measure it's weight without gravity. You obviously mean mass.

Weight is an arbitrary measurement. Better to measure mass, in which case:

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=What+is+the+mass+of+Earth%3F

"5.9721986×10^24 kg (kilograms)"

What is mass?

>>3714507

baby don't destroy me

>>3714497
No, not mass, WEIGHT

>>3714502
Not mass, weight.
mfw how low your intellect is.

>>3714507

The amount of matter in a substance

Doesn't it "weigh" infinity since weight is determined by how much force it takes to move away from the earth, and since it cannot ever leave it's own gravity...its weight must be infinite.

>>3714516
lolwut. I just want to know how heavy earth is

>>3714508

It'll get pretty complicated. Figure out how much of a gravitational effect the sun has on Earth, since that will most-likely be your reference.

They go into this a little on that thread. Looks like you'll be doing the computations yourself.

Whats the minimum mass for an object to start producing gravity?

Everything 'on' earth has weight.. doesn't that add up to SOMETHING?

>>3714523
No, I mean. How much does it way though. I don't need to know about the sun...

>>3714513

huh?

You mean how much it "masses", right?

MASS = 5.97 × 10^24 kilograms

That's about 6 trillion trillion kilograms, or about 6 billion trillion tons.

It's pointless to relate that number in the number of things that Humanity has produced, like Washington Monuments, or the amount of iron ever mined. The damned number is just too large to compare.

>>3714535
No, how much does it weight in pounds

Obvious troll.

Is obvious.

>>3714495
SPAAAAAACE

>>3714530
10 lbs.

OP is a samefagging troll. 3/10, for getting my hopes up that you cared about science.

I got it!
(10^24) kilograms = 2.20462262 × 10^24 pounds

Guy's just tell me. The teacher said "100 points of extra credit to anyone who can tell me how much earth ways" I'm failing, I need the points

>>3714544
no im serious, how many pounds does earth weigh, like if i took a pound upon pound of soil, and managed to weigh the core too, how many pounds, no weight of air pressure included

>>3714543
> No, how much does it weight in pounds

I will kill you with an axe and then fuck the squishy skull hole.

>>3714563
it weights 45.8 billion pounds
no need to thank me. thread over.

>>3714523
So, what's the weight of the sun?

>>3714535

If atlas could hold the weight of the world on his shoulders, what would his power level be? I always wondered this. The average man has a power level of 5, maybe he can hold 50 kg on his shoulders without hurting himself, or 1 power level per 10 kg.

That must mean atlas's power level must be 60 trillion trillion. By comparison, goku's power level was only about 30 billion maximum. Atlas could destroy goku in a fight 100 trillion times over

>>3714572
No it doesn't, someone give me a serious answer.

>>3714574
even the universe?

>>3714577
you think the earth doesn't weight a lot?

>>3714497
the sun does the pulling, does that help?

>>3714587
Not that much, that's for sure.

>>3714526
Anything with mass produces gravity. There's no minimum. The amount produced is just proportional to how much mass there is.

Okay, so what you all are saying is that it doesn't weigh anything... that makes no sense. I thought you were supposed to be good at this shit.

>>3714497
how many pounds of gravity can the sun pull?

Isn't the sun just gas? I thought gas has no definite mass. That could be 0. Does the sun have 0 mass?

mfw: this thread

>>3714606

The sun is made of pure fire, which is just energy. The reason it appears to have mass is because E=MC^2

>>3714611

>>3714611
Then how much does earth was if there's no gravity affecting it?

>>3714511
>>3714522
>>3714544
>>3714577
>>3714600
>>3714611
Nice dubs

>>3714611
i know this will sound stupid, but considering that came from einsteins brain, how much do you think the portion of his brain that thought that up weighed?

>>3714618

The sun has no mass, or at least very little detectable mass. The earth weighs nothing, the reason it revolves around the sun is due to the infinite repulsion of its magnetic fields causing it to spin around space like a top. Gravity isn't involved, just magnets

>>3714632
how do magnets work?

>>3714632

>>3714637

Nobody knows.

9/10 Could have carried it out longer for epic trolling, lol at petty rage. Intelligence, where is it guys? SCIENCE!

Okay, so. The Sun has no mass. Yet it has magnets. Magnetia is a metal, so it has mass. So the sun must NOT have mass then, therefore the Earth spins around it for no fucking reason.
Perfect evidence god exists.

>>3714646
the quality of these trolls are too damn high

>>3714659
trolling religion in a science thread

>>3714637
>>3714640
Magnets contain microscopic pieces of gravity because they come from deep in the earth where gravity is formed.

>>3714670
The moon has gravity.

/end of your argument.

>>3714673
That's because the moon was ejected from the earth in an impact with another planet. It's essentially a giant magnet.

>>3714679
The moon was a meteor that got pulled into orbit, if it was part of earth it wouldn't be white dumbass.

>>3714683
It's only white because of the cheese that grows on the surface. Sheesh!

>>3714687
Quit trolling, we're trying to have a serious conversation.

>>3714683
>everyday I'm trollan'

how much does the earth way relative to its own gravity?

>>3714699
Zero, because weight is a vector, and it all cancels out by Newton's third law.

Guys, what is it I have to go to bed soon.

5.85872683 × 10^25 kilograms is the weight of the earth at its own gravitational acceleration, op.

>>3714743
Calculator said error.

Don't believe the lies here, OP. Feel free to try this one your own!

>>3714765
Probably because it's such a big number. Use google or Wolfram.

>>3714768
You know what
not even worth it, thanks for the help gentlemen.

>>3714526
Any measurable amount of mass produces gravity.

Dunno. the scales go up to 300 so ill put it ontop and you count how many times the thing spins around

earth is weightless since it's floating in the space

/thread

it depends on which planet

http://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/earth/geophysics/planet-earth-weigh.htm

How do you read the scales while they are upside down?

Mighty fine bag of cocaine, op.

no OP but can someone write it in normal number not 132156484231318546x10^88 kg?

something like billion trillion tons or so?

>>3716070
The Earth has a mass of 5,974,200,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg, which is about 6 septillion. That's about 6.6 billion trillion tons.
