Offset possibly. One current estimate puts the mass gained through incoming meteorites and their dust at 78,000 tons per year. That doesn't count captured solar wind which is particles having mass. Is also doesn't count hydrogen which the atmosphere apparently outgasses to space. Who knows? :-) Tom C. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
