The earths weight is decreasing due to oil extraction?

If we are extracting oil and other natural resources out of the earth, doesnt this technically decrease earths weight? If so, what effect does it have it on the earths gravitational pull? With the amount of oil that is being extracted and water that is being dried up, in theory wouldnt this have an effect?The earths weight is decreasing due to oil extraction?
Nah, all that burned up oil is falling on my car and making it dirty... bastards... Time for another car wash....The earths weight is decreasing due to oil extraction?
Well, no. the mass is still in the system, just mostly in the atmosphere. There are losses from the atmosphere which are immediately made up because the orbit of earth is a very thin gas torus, and the gas shares the same orbit.





Now as the polar caps melt will that have an effect? For the arctic, no because the ice is already displacing water, but for the antarctic, yes there will be a sea level rise, perhaps 8 to 10 meters. redistributing all that mass away from the axis of rotation WILL have an effect on another system, the length of the day.





And that effect may in turn generate a new age of vulcanism.
yes, some thermal energy is lost in the system when you burn the fuel when you convert oil to energy.





minimal effect on earths gravity pull since the earth is so massive. even if you dry up the oceans you hardly effect gravity. by conservation of momentum, in theory if you jump, earth also moves away from you, but you really see earth not moving.





yes, in theory, maybe to the 1 millionth decimal place. you will still use 9.81 instead of 9.8100000....1 in your physics problem.
I wouldn't think so cause 1) the earth is freakin' huge and 2) all that carbon dioxide and water vapor is going into the atmosphere. Hardly any goes into the vacuum of space.
oil isn't holding the earth in place. wouldn't the same theory go for the extra things that are being created (ex. cars, planes, buses, etc.)
Are you relating this to GMM/R^2?

if oil is being dried up....hmmm..i think that will an end of the world...
