Our planet is amazing. Orbiting around the sun at a whopping speed of 107,218 km/h, that’s pretty fast for such a big body - and though Earth can’t step on a scale - NASA calculates its mass at 5,972,190,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg (five septillion, nine hundred seventy two sextillion, one hundred ninety quintillion kilograms). However, our planet is continually gaining and losing mass. We take on an estimated 40,000 tonnes of space dust that the earth’s gravity pulls in like a giant vacuum - this dust is vestiges of our solar system, broken up asteroids and the matter that never turned into planets. But we lose mass largely due to gases (farting earth drawing). Gases like hydrogen are so light that they are escaping through the atmosphere at a rate of 3 kg per second - that’s 95,000 tonnes a y...
