Does anybody know how much CME mass (in tonnes or kgs) the Earch bumps into in this kind of event? How much mechanical influence does it exert on Earth?
- r2_pilot 4y agoPractically 0. The Earth masses about 5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg, or 5.9 sextillion tonnes. Even if there was 100,000 tonnes of material that Earth intercepted, it's a drop in the bucket. For reference, between 5,200 and 40,000 tonnes of space debris lands on Earth annually.
