Thats completely irrelevant. Humans, animals, and anything else that grows start from nutrients. We use nutrients to grow. Thing such as proteins and calories in the foods we eat. The gases do not just magically appear. Everything goes through a cycle. One way we get more gases is by drilling for fossil fuels and then processing them. Another example of more gases being released would be a volcano erupting. Life on the planet has absolutely no influence on the planet's weight or mass. Anyone who believes that needs to pick a up a book and learn a little

As far as the original question goes, I believe its much heavier than 4 billion years ago. There is actually an active study on how much meteoric dust settles on earth every year. They estimate that the planet collects over 30,000 tons of meteoric dust annually!

Some people said that is lighter because of the satelites we send into space. Thats like saying if you remove an ant from your house you made it light, when in reality, you probably tracked enough dirt inside in the process to double the ant's weight.

If any of you are interested in physics and cosmic studies i would suggest reading Stephen Hawking's books. They're really in debt on this subject matter.

I diddn't really think my answer through . I completely agree with you . Its like energy isn't lost, it is just transformed . I reckon it has got lighter because we send materials into space such as satellites

When it was created

It weighs more as it is hit with space debris everyday also meteorites. I personally think the word mass would be a better way to phrase it as the earth doesn't have a weight since gravity is determined by the planet itself.

Ways less, some of the land has been sunk.

I'll pretend you never said that /facepalm

it does have a weight but the weight would change depending on which planets gravitational pull was used to calculate it. You are correct in saying that mass would be better to use in the question since it is a constant.

I agree, but I am assuming he is going off a fixed gravity. Mass would be a much better term as weight is irrelevant. Matter and Energy can never be destroyed nor created due to the laws of our universe. Meaning it would have more mass due to space debris.

yea i argree that what i posted on the last page

Read your quote. Very true.
