No, The weight of the Earth is static energy. The Earth is actually getting lighter. As an example, if you place a bunch of marbles on a flat surface then weigh it, then move all the marbles to a different area, the weight is still the same, but a bit heavier in one area. Removing material from earth like satellites and shuttles actually decreases the weight of the globe.

No. It is a closed system. The materials used to build the buildings came from the earth to begin with.

only if we built the buildings from asteroids or something like that. All the materials used in building are taken from the earth, although in a different place. An iron ore mine in Idaho will eventually have that rock turn to steel for a building in Boston.

Only if we bring the building materials down from another planet or from space.
You should note that 40 tons of space dust falls onto the earth every day, thus increasing earth's mass (not weight).

We take material from other part of the Earth and we put/build building on another part.
Unless you take material from another planet and use them to build building. Then the mass of earth will increase,

No, because the material required to make those buildings comes from the Earth. No mass is gained or lost.

Nope. All the materials used to build the buildingsare already on the planet. Nothing from the outside is added.

no because what was made to make the buildings came form earth so nothing was taken away or added to the weight.....Hey every time a new baby is born doesn't that add to the earths weight..or do people die at the same rate as babies are born?????

Only if we import the materials to build them from the asteroids, from the moon or from some other place.

the weight of the earth will increase only if alien objects fall from the space.if abuildings are built in one area it is built from objects available on earth itself, so the earths weight remains constant excepting the space objects
