How can the Earth be heavy at all? There's no gravity in space... so what are they gauging the weight by?

probably talking about the relative weight of the planet as calculated on earth ... not from the perspective of weighing the earth with a scale in zero gravity space.

ahhh, but that's just concocted bs so that our feeble human minds can somewhat begin to grasp the magnitude of it all.... there truly is no weight though. Weight only exists here ON the planet... the planet itself cannot be weighed. It has no weight. At least not in it's current surroundings,...

BJ · 11-16-2002, 03:57 AM

Amp,

You have asked two questions that are both easy and difficult to answer. The difficult part is the word "weigh". Scientists make a distinction between an object's weight and its mass. As you may know, the earth pulls down on any object that is near the earth (you and me, for example) We usually call this pull "gravity", though if we were really being careful, we should call it the gravitational pull of the earth on this object, since every object exerts gravitational pull on every other object (that's another whole question). Anyway, this gravitational pull that pulls us down when we fall gives us our weight. Weight, as scientists use it is another word for the force of earth's pull. The mass of an object, on the other hand, is a way to talk about how much stuff is in the object, without worrying about whether the earth is pulling on it or not. You can think of mass as resistance to getting pushed or pulled. For example, it's a lot harder to push a car than it is to push a bicycle, isn't it? That's because a car has more mass. Near the surface of the earth, objects with mass are pulled toward the earth, giving them weight, and it becomes very easy to use the two words interchangeably You can even find cans in the store with the "weight" marked in ounces (which is a unit of weight) and grams (which is a unit of mass, not weight). So what's the problem?

Weight only makes sense near the surface of the earth, and since the earth is not sitting on itself, we can't really talk about the weight of the earth. However, we can use our own weights to figure out how much mass is in the earth because the pull of the earth depends on its mass. So, after all that, I'll answer your questions about weight with answers about mass.

The mass of the earth is given in my Physics book (Physics, by Paul Tippler, published in 1976) as 5.98x10^24 kilograms (10^24 means ten to the 24th power or 10 times itself twenty four times). That's a mass of about 6 million billion billion kilograms. You, on the other hand probably have a mass of less than 50 kilograms. The lithosphere, which is only the thin outer shell of the earth, made up of the lightest parts of the earth has a mass of approximately 1.5x10^23 kilograms, or about 1/40 of the whole earth. I couldn't find this one in a book, so I calculated it, assuming the lithosphere is everywhere 100 kilometers thick and that it has a uniform density of 3 g/cc. Neither assumption is perfect, but each is within about 10% of the real value, so the answer is also within about 10-15% of the true value.

Since the lithosphere is close to the earth's surface we could actually talk about its weight. The lithosphere would weigh about 1.5x10^24 Newtons (that's the metric unit of weight or force) or about 3.3x10^23 pounds (1 Pound = 4.448 Newtons, according to Tippler's book, so 1 Newton is a little less than what a stick of butter weighs).

I hope this was helpful. I'd be delighted to answer more of your questions Amp.

Sincerely,

Interesting......

what are your thoughts on the equality of inertial and gravitational mass as an argument for the general postulate of relativity? While most of it is pure genius, I personaly believe the theory is somewhat flawed. I've actually written extensive pages regarding my ideas on it.... they are somewhere amongst my masses of clutter here...

We might easily suppose that the existence of a gravitational field is always only an apparent one. We might also think that, regardless of the kind of gravitational field which may be present, we could always choose another reference-body such that NO gravitational field exists with reference to it. This is by no means true for all gravitational fields, but only for those of quite special form. It is, for instance, impossible to choose a body of reference such that, as judged from it, the gravitational field of the earth (in its entirety) vanishes.

and hence my disagreement with the master....
