The earth is in zero gravity because the force of its orbit is exactly balanced by the pull of the sun's gravity. So it has no weight. However it has mass because it is made up of different elements. The mass of the earth in kilograms is 5.976 to the 24th power or 13.175 to the 24th power in pounds. Click on the following link for this information: http://www.solarviews.com/eng/earth.htm

The Earth has a mass of 6 x 10^27 g. Mass, however, is not the same thing as weight. Weight is what we call the downward gravitational force acting on us in a gravitational field. If you had a small block that had the same mass as the Earth, and you had it on the Earth's surface, then you could say that it weighed 6 x 10^27 g, if you wanted. But this isn't physically meaningful.

Not vary much,because it's just floating around in space.

uh, nothing, since it's in space. It can't have weight if there's no gravity
