    Several trillion tons of mass? I think you’re off by many orders of magnitude.

      You’re right.

      Earth itself weighs about 7 sextillion tons.

      Sextillion in the short scale being to the 24th power while trillions being only 12th power.

        Thanks for the correction. I was blinded by my hatred for Brenda. I was sure I was off by a lot but I couldn’t bother looking it up at the time
