How do we weigh the Earth? It all begins with the universal gravitational constant,

0:00

'G', key to understanding our planet's mass. Newton's law states every mass attracts.

0:00

But for everyday objects, this force is incredibly tiny, almost imperceptible to

0:00

us! Your weight is Earth's gravitational pull. This force is determined by your

0:00

mass, Earth's mass (m_E), and its radius (r_E). By equating these

0:00

force expressions, we solve for Earth's mass. The equation simplifies to 'g' times

0:00

radius squared, divided by 'G'. Using the precise values for G, Earth's surface gravity,

0:00

and its radius, we calculate Earth's immense mass: an astonishing 5.98 x 10^24 kilograms!
