Nothing ever leaves the earth or enters the earth...so does that mean we have the same amount of matter within the earth's outmost atmosphere as we did millions of years ago (except for thing placed in space by man, ie space station)?

changes all the time. Matter is converted into energy via nuclear fission (matter can be converted in energy and energy into matter). . Everything meteorites hit the earth we get more. All these amounts in the big picture don't add up to a lot. Overall we should have more matter now than a million years ago. But, That increase is very very small

Yes the amount of matter on Earth increases by 1,000 of tons per day as small amounts of space dust come through out atmosphere.

Billions of tons of space dust fall on the Earth every year.

Gases leave earth but meteorites and space dust fall on earth making it heavier everyday.

The Earth helpful properties numerous hundreds of loads of mass each and each 12 months from meteoroids. particular, it incorporates ALL MASS on earth, yet how at present the recommendation has been as much as date could desire to be checked, because of the fact it takes TIME to replace information superhighway-sites, even while they are actual time, like the USGS earthquake recommendation pages

Yes, constantly. Meteorites (very small) all the time.

Yes, I believe that is true. It is true for water; I'm sure it is true for matter. Does it matter?
