Re: A89: Re: OT: darwin
This is actually the opposite. The earth actually gets bigger because our
gravity pulls in particles from space and slowly the earth is growing in
size. I'd venture to guess with around a million miles of surface pull
around our orbit it may grow as much as a foot a year but that's just a
guess.
