    Is the mass of the Earth increasing or decreasing today? Astronomers tell you the answer.

    No, but the total mass remains largely the same. If some asteroid such as a meteorite hits the Earth and is not slowed down by the atmosphere, the energy generated by it will fall on the Earth due to gravity, resulting in an increase in the mass of the Earth. But these increases are minimal, so the mass of the Earth is largely constant.

    No, the mass of the Earth has actually decreased, mainly because of crustal fission, and of course there are some other reasons, but the mass of the Earth has decreased very little.

    No, it gradually increases or decreases according to the trajectory of human life and the degree of change in the environment, it is closely related to our human life, we are a community.

    The mass of the earth is not constant, it changes frequently, for example, if humans launch artificial satellites into space, the mass of the earth will decrease, on the contrary, if a meteorite falls on the earth, the mass of the earth will increase.

    The mass of the earth is constant, because the weight of the earth increases due to cosmic dust, and the mass decreases due to the escape of the atmosphere, and the positive and negative addition of the two can basically promote the constant mass of the earth. Although many scientists also believe that climate warming will accelerate the growth of the earth's mass, this theory currently only exists in data analysis, and whether it is true is not determined, so we still usually believe that the earth has a constant mass.

    About the growth of the mass of the Earth. In the process of rotation and revolution, the earth will capture cosmic dust through its own gravity, and increase its mass by carrying meteorite impacts, but behind every meteorite impact event on the earth, most people tend to be more concerned about the landing site of the meteorite, and ignore the meteorite to increase the mass of the earth.

    According to scientists' observations of meteors and meteorites, combined with the analysis of cosmic dust data models, it is roughly estimated that about 200-600 tons of material will come to the earth every day, but they are evenly dispersed in all corners of the earth, so it is calculated that the total mass of the earth will increase by 60,000 tons to 180,000 tons every year.

    About the decrease in the mass of the earth. In addition to hydrogen and helium in the upper atmosphere, the material in the earth's crust will also undergo radioactive decay, so the earth's mass is also decaying all the time. Under normal circumstances, there are not many atmospheric molecules escaping, far from catching up with the weight of cosmic dust falling on the earth, but under certain circumstances, the escape of atmospheric molecules will accelerate, such as the impact of high-energy particles from solar storms, which will accelerate this process, so the comprehensive measurement of the earth's mass has been in a constant state between increase and decrease.

    However, some scientists believe that the birth of the solar system and billions of years, the dust around the solar system has already been "cleaned" by the planets in the system, so the mass of dust that falls on the earth every year is decreasing year by year, and the sun is about to usher in a period of decline after billions of years of operation, when the solar storm cycle is frequent, which will accelerate the atmospheric escape, and finally the mass of the earth may gradually decrease after a few years, but this kind of phenomenon is still far away.

    It is almost unchanged, because various activities on Earth can both increase and decrease the mass of the Earth, and then reach a state of relative equilibrium.

    A very real and imminent mega solar flash event is about to happen on Earth! What is a large solar flash? A large solar flare is a very intense, Earth-facing solar flare called a superflare that can be recorded on the X-ray scale from X-50 to X-100 or higher!

    People on Earth will perceive the intense superlight flame emitted by the Earth's sun as a dazzling white magnetic light, and the light emitted by this huge cosmic flash will be a strange gamma-like light from an alien star at the center of the Milky Way. Although this light is a high-energy gamma ray, when it is emitted from the core of a galaxy, its energy is greatly reduced as it returns to Earth from the solar corona**!

    <> this high-vibration gamma ray contains very complex and structured generic data packets. When it comes into contact with DNA, it completely rewrites and upgrades the genetic code, so its functionality is more advanced! Genetic upgrading will trigger a massive expansion of Earth consciousness, a global biological evolution known as an "event."

    At this very moment, the Earth is experiencing rapid global warming! In fact, global warming began in 2012 and has been intensifying. The Earth's protective ozone layer is rapidly depleting, and reduced ozone protection means more high-energy light hitting the surface and your body.

    So what is it that makes the Earth's ozone layer disappear so quickly?

    The Earth's magnetic field is weakening rapidly! The magnetic field around the Earth is gradually weakening, affecting the entire Earth. The weakening of the magnetic field is the main cause of ozone depletion.

    In addition, the magnetic poles moved hundreds of miles and were completely out of balance. The loss of the Earth's magnetic field is the basis of the Earth's current global warming, but there must also be a reason, so what is it? (Earth's Sun has a powerful binary star located 50 billion miles away in the Oort cloud).

    This powerful star has a strong gravitational pull and is responsible for the gravitational tilt and equinox processes of every object in the solar system. This second sun is called the hidden sun or the black sun! It does not emit light, but it is 1000 times stronger than the Earth's sun.

    The Sun has a companion star in its orbit called Planet X or Nibiru. The orbit of this "planet and sun" system approaches the Earth's sun every 13,000 years, and in the middle of the interday process, it goes exactly as planned. When the orbit of this cosmic system follows the Earth's sun to Peshilon, it causes the solar corona to form a huge electromagnetic charge, and this electromagnetic charge will ** or flash, releasing the pressure of the particles.

    The ancients said that when the sun gets closer and closer to us, it leads to the phenomenon we see on the earth, the magnetic field weakens, the ozone disappears, and the earth warms up faster.

    The increase in the mass of the Earth is due to the fact that the gravitational pull of the Earth is constantly capturing cosmic dust and meteorites into the Earth, causing the mass to increase. If there is a burst in the mass of the earth, the gravitational pull on the earth will increase greatly, the mass of all objects on the earth will increase, which will also increase the gravitational force of the living species itself, and for animals, it will become more difficult to move, so the body size will become shorter.

    Although revolution is also an inertial effect, a change in mass means that the earth's revolution speed must become faster to equilibrium or the earth is farther away from the sun.

    The consequences are terrible, the atmospheric pressure will suddenly increase, the temperature will increase dramatically, the glaciers will melt, the ecosystem will be destroyed, you will suddenly feel that you have no strength to walk, and extreme weather will occur one after another. The moon will get bigger, the waves will be big, and the tides will be huge.

    If the mass increases, then the attraction of the earth will increase, and I believe that it will not be easy for satellites to go to the sky, and the growth of plants on the earth will also be greatly affected, and thus human beings will be more affected on the earth.

    It will become a black hole, and then quickly evaporate and cease to exist because it is too small. A black hole is a very dense celestial body formed by the extreme compression of matter, the repulsion between matter is overcome, and it is very tightly combined.

    There is a term called Schwarzschild radius, which is calculated according to the speed of light, which refers to the reduction of the volume of celestial bodies to the size of the radius from which even light cannot escape, so that the event horizon is formed, which is not visible within the horizon and is temporarily unknowable, and can still be observed outside the horizon. If the Earth is shrunk to the point where even light cannot escape, the Schwarzschild radius is only nine millimeters, and the mass of the Earth is kilograms, one can imagine how dense the black hole is. The gravitational attraction of celestial bodies is closely related to the density, the larger the density, the smaller the radius, and the more significant the space-time curvature formed, just like two balls of the same mass and different volume placed on the film, the depression of the film caused by the small balls is more serious.

    The matter on the earth is the form of matter that we are familiar with, composed of atoms, between the nucleus and the electron, in addition to the Coulomb gravitational force and the repulsion, so that there is a vast space between the nucleus and the electrons outside the nucleus, and the neutron star or the denser black hole completely shreds such an atomic structure, all the space is "filled", the density increases by hundreds of billions of times, and the space-time curvature formed by the density is very significant, and the gravitational force is very large. The earth will also form a black hole after being compressed to the limit, but such a tiny black hole evaporates very quickly, and may not have swallowed enough matter to strengthen itself, and it is already gone.

    There is a huge black hole in the Milky Way**, with a mass of 4 million times the mass of the sun, and it also releases a powerful flow of energy, but because there is still a lot of material in the Milky Way, enough black holes to swallow for several years, it can exist for a long time. The meaning of infinite shrinkage is to disappear, but this disappearance is because it is the limit of infinity, and at a certain point in time and space, and **, it becomes infinitely expanded. This is like life and death, death and life in nature.

    Came and went, went and came again the same nature. Water is the existence of this circulation. Water, fog, dew, steam, rain, snow, ice.

    It can be said very clearly that if the volume of the earth is reduced by 10,000 times, the earth at that time will be a small sphere with high pressure and high heat, because so much matter is compressed in a very limited volume, and the pressure will inevitably be unimaginably large, and it will be difficult for life to occur under extreme conditions in the extreme.

    Each of us lives on Earth and never feels like the Earth is getting bigger or smaller? But the Earth is just a planet in space, so will its mass change? Is it growing or decreasing?

    The mass of the earth is as high as a trillion tons, close to 60 trillion tons, the volume is cubic kilometers, or 1,083 billion cubic kilometers, and the diameter is 12,756 kilometers. We live on the earth and we have never seen the ground level or sea level rise or decrease, so has the mass of the earth not changed?

    In fact, no, the mass of the earth is actually increasing all the time, the reason is very simple, because the earth is a huge mass planet, under the action of gravity, some asteroids, comets and other small celestial bodies and even gravel and dust that travel to the vicinity of the earth will be absorbed by the earth, and this absorption activity is going on all the time, so the mass of the earth has been in a state of increase.

    Some scientists have estimated that the earth can still obtain about 100,000 tons of interstellar material every year, including more than 23,000 tons of cosmic dust alone, and the earth can add more than 10 tons of material per hour. Therefore, the mass of the earth is always in the process of increasing.

    Some friends may associate that there is an atmosphere outside the earth, its mass is as high as 100 trillion tons, and in the scattered layer above the atmosphere, there are also many gaseous molecules that will escape from the atmosphere, which is actually equivalent to reducing the mass of the earth, but the earth will also capture some gaseous molecules in the process, so the earth's atmosphere can maintain a balance that does not increase or decrease, so the escape of gaseous molecules in the earth's atmosphere and the balance obtained will not affect the mass of the earth.

    Some friends think that sunlight irradiates the earth, absorbed by plant photosynthesis, and becomes plant remains will also increase the mass of the earth, in principle, this is true, but the light energy absorbed by plants is converted into the mass of the earth's material is too small, basically negligible.

    Increase. Because meteorites and asteroids are constantly hitting the Earth, the mass of the Earth is always increasing.
