Interesting fact: Earth's mass is so large that it affects the orbit of the moon and other nearby objects through its gravitational pull.
The answer: Earth has a mass of approximately 5.97 × 10^24 kilograms, which is about 6.6 sextillion tons.
Earth's weight, or more accurately its mass, is a measure of the amount of matter it contains. This mass creates the gravity that holds everything on the planet's surface and keeps the moon in orbit. Scientists calculate Earth's mass using observations of satellite orbits and gravitational effects. Understanding Earth's mass helps in studying its geology, atmosphere, and interactions with other celestial bodies.
