The Earth is getting slightly heavier due to the constant influx of cosmic dust and meteorites. However, the gain in mass is extremely small compared to the overall mass of the Earth.

Is Jupiter lighter than earth?
No, Jupiter is much heavier than Earth. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and is more massive due to its large size and composition of mostly gases and liquids.
How does the weight of an apple change when you move it from the earth to the moon?
Anything, including an apple, weighs heavier on earth due to earth's gravity. The gravity on the moon is much less, so objects are lighter.
What happens when you take a rock from earth to the moon?
The rock would weigh less on the Moon due to its lower gravity, but its mass would remain the same. This means that the rock would feel lighter and be easier to move on the Moon compared to Earth.
What would you conclude if the rocks on the Moon were much heavier or much lighter than those on Earth?
If the rocks on the Moon were much heavier than those on Earth, it could indicate differences in composition or density. If the rocks on the Moon were much lighter, it might suggest the presence of different minerals or less weathering processes compared to Earth. Further analysis would be needed to understand the reasons for the weight discrepancy.
Would something heavier and smaller than the earth be attracted to it or would the earth be attracted to the object?
Gravity always work both ways, but proportional to the weight. So humans pull on the Earth just as the Earth pull on humans. Only that humans are so much lighter that our pull isn't much noticed. Something that's heavier than the Earth, well then the heavier object would exert the greater pull. But both would still pull on each other.
At present is the earth getting lighter or heavier?
the earth collects about 100 tons of space dust and small particles every day
Is the earth getting heavier or lighter with the passage of time?
The Earth is getting lighter with time due to the escape of gases into space and the loss of mass through asteroid impacts. However, the overall decrease in mass is very small compared to the Earth's total mass.
Is mercury's gravity heavier or lighter than earth's gravity?
Much lighter. If you weighed 180 pounds on earth you would weigh 68.4 pounds on Mercury.
How many times earth is bigger than mercury?
99000 times lighter than earth.
Do you feel heavier or lighter while climing mount Everest?
I think you feel lighter as you are higher off the ground and when you are on the moon you feel much lighter than on Earth
Which kind of earth's plates is heavier and which is lighter?
Oceanic plates are heavier than continental plates because they are denser and thinner. Continental plates are lighter because they are less dense and thicker. The difference in density and composition accounts for the varying weights of the Earth's plates.
Is 25 milligrams lighter or heavier than 25 centigrams?
heavier because they are two different weights
What is the noun for the movement of one of earth's heavier tectonic plates underneath a lighter tectonic plate?
Subduction.
Is Saturn's gravity heavier or lighter than on Earth?
Its Actually Half As Heavy As Your Mom (Shes Fat)
Is it better to have a vehicle heavier or lighter for a 4WD?
It depends on what your doing with it. If your towing, heavier. If your on the beach, lighter.
When heavier elements sink toward the core and lighter elements rise to the top the Earth is said to be what?
The Earth is said to be undergoing differentiation when heavier elements sink towards the core and lighter elements rise to the top. This process results in the formation of distinct layers within the Earth based on differences in density.
What is the principle of subduction?
The density of one tectonic plate is heavier than the other. The lighter plate 'floats on top of the heavier one, which is slowly forced down into the earth.
