Interesting question: logic would say it weighs more.
For one there is the question of when you call it first formed?
Originally there was no water on the earth, they are not certain where it came from but current theories are from comets and asteroid impacts in the first 1/2 billion yrs after forming.
The weight of all the water on earth, plus the other impact debris, could add up to 5% of the earths total weight.
Then there is the weight of all of the decomposed matter from all life on the planet over the last 3 billion years.
Imagine the weight of all of the Sh*t produced during that time?
There is also the additional weight of asteroid impacts over the last billion years.
I suspect that the planet weighs from 5 to 10 percent more from it first formation some 4.5 billion years ago.
I wonder if it loses any weight through atmospheric erosion into space?
I am going to google this topic when I get home tonight, this blackberry is to slow while driving, not to mention dangerous.
well, since 80% of America is SO FREAKING FAT, i guess it would weigh more...
Either you're trolling or you're retarded. People being fat wouldn't affect the weight of the Earth, as humans consume the resources around them. They don't eat a double pounder and magically gain 5 pounds. It's called the law of conservation of mass. The only things that can affect the weight of the Earth are interferences from places other than the Earth.
My thoughts on the matter, while we have received comets, asteroids, and other objects of the like, it is hypothesized that the moon was a chunk of the earth that blasted off in a collision. If that is indeed the case, I think that the earth is heavier than when it was first created.

Bro, its called a joke. Get a sense of humor. AND i live in America, so i just basically just insulted myself.
im sorry that i didnt post "my scientific opinion on the whole subject" considering im only 15.

I apologize for not realizing that you were joking, but you must remember that this is a DEBATE forum, meaning that typically if someone posts something, they mean it unless they actually state that what they said was a joke. Be aware of this in the future.
Age is irrelevant, I just turned 16 four months ago. Not to be mean, but it doesn't make you look good if you use your age as an excuse.
Sorry if either of my comments came across as mean to you, but you need to remember that you are in a debate, and even nonsense jokes can be misconstrued as your own opinion if you don't clarify they are jokes.

It is not only that he did not post that he was joking.
It is the number of similar posts from our Friends across the pond that get one a little overly sensitive to the F*ckin fat, stupid, non-cultured, lazy, uneducated, gun toting, bunch of loser American jokes.
I do realize that they are all just joking too, but they never post that fact either.
Well, the earth was hit by another planet and the earth formed from that debris. I know that all of that matter was collected for the moon, but to make the calculation easier, lets say it was. So, we need the weight of the moon and the weight of all the water on the planet. That will give us a ruff idea. It'll be impossible to work it out exactly.
