Answer 1

the mass of earth is 5.972 × 10^24 kg

Answer 2

Explanation:

5.972 × 10^24 kg

• Earth mass ( M E or M ⊕, where ⊕ is the standard astronomical symbol for planet Earth) is the unit of mass equal to that of Earth. The current best estimate for Earth mass is M ⊕ = 5.9722×1024 kg, with a standard uncertainty of 6×1020 kg (relative uncertainty 10−4).

How is Earth mass calculated?

• We start by determining the mass of the Earth. ... Because we know the radius of the Earth, we can use the Law of Universal Gravitation to calculate the mass of the Earth in terms of the gravitational force on an object (its weight) at the Earth's surface, using the radius of the Earth as the distance.
