Hi physicists!
My name is grant and I am curious as to how helium plays into our Earth's overall mass and gravity. It's my understanding that gravity itself is functionally dependent on the quantity of mass within closed systems or objects, and it's also my understanding that helium will escape into space.
So with that all said I am wondering what the influence is on Earth's gravity that our Earth's helium supply is, I suppose, just flowing out of our closed planet system?
Also, from the perspective of you all, how is the Earth viewed from a physics standpoint with respect to gravity? Is gravity changing on Earth from the standard 9.8m/s and if not why doesn't helium loss affect this?
Thanks :)
