5. Lab:​ Measuring the Mass of the Earth

   1. Density of Rocks​

   2. Measuring the Mass of the Earth Using the Density of Rocks

   3. Measuring the Mass of the Earth Using the Orbit of the Moon

   4. You most likely learned that the mass of the Earth from the density of typical surface rocks is about one-half the mass of the Earth from the orbit of the Moon. Also, the latter measurement is much closer to the modern accepted value. Explain this discrepancy in as much detail as you can.
