This article presents a mathematical calculation of the mass of the Earth, a fundamental constant in geophysics and astronomy. The calculation is based on the universal law of gravitation and the measured values of the gravitational constant (G), the Earth's radius, and the acceleration due to gravity (g). By applying the formula for the gravitational force between two objects, we derive the mass of the Earth. The calculated value is consistent with the accepted value, demonstrating the accuracy of the mathematical approach. This study highlights the importance of precise calculations and measurements in understanding the Earth's properties and behavior.
