Some people may think what kind of a question is this. How much does the earth cost or can you put a price tag on earth? The answer is yes earth worth is calculable.
Our earth has natural resource, industries that make up an economy. Imagine if you are that rich to buy earth then how much would it cost? Actually, the question is far more complex and multidimensional.
How Much Does Earth Cost?
There are studies done and calculations are made by Dr. Greg Laughlin, a professor of Astronomy. His research is related to solar and stellar astrophysics. He came up with a price roughly $5 quadrillion (or $5,000,000,000,000,000).
Factors that he considered were the planet’s mass, age, temperature and also few more things.
If you think in detail then how to value freshwater. We also have a number on it, its $73.4 trillion, by far the most precious natural resource.
Valued at $16.2 trillion, trees and forests come in second place only. Coral reefs, worth $9.9 trillion, are the third and last trillion dollar prize.
Laughlin also calculated the value of other solar system planets based on their capacity to supply resources for living entities, therefore stressing just how important Earth is.
Our nearest neighbor Mars cost $16000. Venus’ atmosphere is poor so its worth is only one cent.
Key Takeaway
Even if we could put a price tag on Earth’s resources and economy, the true value goes beyond money. Its only known planet supporting life making it more valuable in every sense.
