Best Answer

Earths gravitational constant, known as g, as around 9.81 m s-1 .

The word around is a tip-off that it is a somewhat inconstant constant. It varies slightly depending on your latitude, longitude, height a.s.l. and the type and extent of the minerals under your feet. This last explains why some geologists carry a handy instrument called a gravimeter.

How do they measure the earths mass?

-- Take an object of known mass, such as a liter of water.-- Measure the force of gravitational attraction between it and the earth, by placing it on a scale and "weighing" it.-- Knowing the distance from the center of the earth (earth's "radius") and the value of the Gravitational constant,and using the formula for the gravitational force between two masses, the earth's mass can now be calculated.
