      The mass of the earth is about 6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg. (24 zeros). It weighs a lot!
      Weight is mass x gravity which is a force, and depends where you are in the universe because gravity changes

      A lot more than we would be able to accurately measure Katie!

      Alex is all over this one 🙂 And yup, definitely makes more sense to talk about mass than weight in this case!
