  1. The geatest gravity pull of the earth is from the sun. You know the earth orbits the sun every 365x24x60x60 seconds. You can find the average distance from earth to the sun. So you can work out the entrifugal force. That force is balanced off by the gravity weight of the earth.

    You can work out the gravity weight by the universal gravity law as well if you start from the mass of the earth and the sun, and the distance as well.


  2. Zero. It would have to be resting on another planet or something to have weight. You may be confusing mass with weight. Regardless, you're confused about something.

  3. Earth's mass is:

    5.9736e24 kg

    If it were resting on Jupiter it would weigh:

    5.9736e24 kg * 24.79 m/s² = 1.48085544e26 N

    If you could weigh Earth using Earth's gravity:

    5.9736e24 kg * 9.81 m/s² = 5.8601016e25 N
