The mass of the Earth is about 6.6 sextillion tons.
The weight of the Earth is 0, since weight is applied in a gravitational field. However the earth is not technically 'floating' in space. To be floating means that the object experiences a buoyancy force pushing upward to couteract its weight. Since the Earth is in space, there is no medium for it to 'float' in. It is orbiting (i.e. free-falling) around the sun in it's gravitational field.

Mass of the Earth is 6 * 10^24 kg.
Mass is different from weight.

Weight is a concept in the earth and in other planets. SP mass is the unit to be used. It is weight devided by mass. Then you could find the weight of the earth on the sun or any other planets by multiplying this mass by the gravity
The mass of earth is 5.972 sextillion (1,000 trillion) metric tons.
Multiply by 32.2 You will get its equivalent weight in earth.

Google says "mass of Earth = 5 974.2 yottagrams". That's 6,500,000,000,000,000,000,000 or about 6.5 sextillion tons.

What's "havy"?

about 6 sextons. but its in a vacuum so its technically wieghtless

About six sextillion pounds. That's 6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 lbs.

basic physics - it's floating in a vacuum, so it's weightless
