Good question. Yes, the earth is getting heavier because it accumulates cosmic rubble such as meteors, dust, comets, cosmic rays. It loses mass too because of some gas being swept off by solar winds, and of course a tiny amount from spacecraft. In total it is believed to get heavier by 10,000 tons to 100,000 tons per year. The estimates vary widely. But whatever the increase in weight, it too would vary widely from year to year. It is actually possible to measure this mass increase by collecting the debris that falls from the sky on a measured area and then sorting the debris. This would make a good science project for an enterprising student.
Yes, global temperatures have been rising over the past century due to increasing greenhouse gas emissions from human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation. This has led to changes in weather patterns, melting polar ice caps, and rising sea levels.

Which is hotter 20C or 20F?
20°C is hotter than 20°F. 20°C is equivalent to 68°F.
Why do scientists think the earth is getting hotter?
Scientists believe the Earth is getting hotter due to the increase in greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which trap heat and lead to global warming. This is primarily caused by human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, which release these gases into the atmosphere at an unprecedented rate. Multiple lines of evidence, including temperature records, melting ice caps, and shifting climate patterns, support the conclusion that the Earth is indeed experiencing a warming trend.
Is 50 hotter on Celsius or on a Fahrenheit scale?
50 degrees is hotter on the Celsius scale, as 50 degrees Celsius is equivalent to 122 degrees Fahrenheit.
What is hotter 23 degrees celsius or 65 degrees Fahrenheit?
65 degrees Fahrenheit is hotter than 23 degrees Celsius.
Which is hotter 30C or 30F?
30 degrees Celsius is hotter than 30 degrees Fahrenheit. 30C is equivalent to 86F, so it is warmer by 56 degrees.
Why is the temperature getting hotter?
some theories are: the temperature is getting hotter due to co2 from both volcanoes and cars the temperature is gettig hotter due to a nautural cycle
Why does the earth keep getting hotter and hotter when receives energy from the sun.?
smeagol
Why do girs get hotter and hotter?
Because you keep getting more desperate and desperate.
What are the categorical challenges facing the world today?
its mostly global warming the ice caps are melting and summers are getting hotter
Is the world getting warmer or colder?
yes it is getting hotter. The last decade has been the hottest record and the past 50 have also been getting warmer. This has caused more heat waves.
Does water keep on getting hotter and hotter the more you heat it?
No, at a certain temperature the water evaporates and turns into gas.
Is the thinning of the forests a good idea?
no that would just make the world hotter and hotter until the end of the world
What are the process of getting some place hotter than the others?
mari
How is global warming affecting tropical zone?
It is because it is getting hotter.
If the Earth is getting hotter does the ice and snow increase or decrease?
decrease
Has the use of the sun changed over time?
Maybe, but it does get hotter over the billions of years. Right now if I can remember it is getting hotter by 30%.
How is the world affected by fossil fuels?
When we burn gas that is produced from fossil fuel, this causes our world getting in a danger situation causing global warming. Global warming causes the polar bears to drown and it makes the world hotter.
