The problem is that bathroom scales do not measure mass, but they measure weight, which depends on the Earth's gravity.
The fact that over one half of Earth's land mass is grazed by livestock may seem scary, but it is the problems that this causes that we need to think about.
Athena Mondale,
Spiritual Consultant

Have you ever wanted a pendulum and a mass on a spring next to each other on planets with a g different than Earth's?
Miles Rhodes,
Wine Taster

In terms of size and mass, Venus is Earth's twin and yet it has evolved in a radically different manner, with a surface temperature hotter than a kitchen oven and a choking mixture of noxious gases for an atmosphere.
Richard Hosking,
Paranormal Investigator

Since Earth's human population could not otherwise survive, the Galactic Federation is committed to an evacuation scenario and a mass landing to help an awakening humanity through this most difficult time.
The mass loss of the Sun due to its luminosity and the Solar wind leads to a much larger [but still tiny] growth of the Earth's orbit which has nothing to do with the expansion of the Universe.
Batholiths are formed either as one large mass or many smaller masses at great depths in the earth's crust and are exposed at the surface only after considerable erosion of the overlying mountain mass.

Since the predominant movement in the Earth's mass comes from water, Grace mainly tracks weight redistribution associated with shifts such as ocean circulation, glacial melt or the depletion of an aquifer.
Arthur Dawkins,
Astro-physicist

Yes, there is a well known discrepancy between the number of objects of a given mass which are impacting Earth's atmosphere as inferred from fireballs in the atmosphere and the number of objects of similar mass as detected by the Apollo seismic network.
A pair of satellites will soon begin mapping tiny variations in Earth's gravity, allowing scientists to track the motions of mass around and beneath the globe for the first time.
Because the sun's mass is very large compared to the earth's mass, the acceleration it experiences is much smaller than the acceleration the earth experiences.
