      Like Pierre said if you can find a weighing scales big enough to weigh the Earth I’ll double whatever ice-cream he gives you!

      Sorry but I had to google this one, Great Q and hard one:)

      Earth weighs about 13,170,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 pounds (or 5,974,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilograms). Since Earth is too big to be placed on a scale, scientists use mathematics and the laws of gravity to figure out Earth’s weight!!!!
