Is Earth Getting Heavier or Lighter?
You’ve probably seen a shooting star burning up in our atmosphere, which in turn would imply that mass is being added to earth due to the meteorite coming from outside of Earth and adding its dust and whatever makes it down to Earth's surface to our overall mass.
