      Google tells me it is 5,974,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilograms 👍

      Which is crazy and obviously we will never know – but shows why maths is so cool – because this figure is based on developing a model and using calculations to figure out the most likely number!

      5.972 × 10^24 kg
      Thats 5,972,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg

      Thats the same as about 99,533,333,300,000,000,000,000,000,000 elephants
      Which is a lot of elephants
