minus-square@Hawke@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink24•edit-222 days agoMath does not check out. 40 - 90 = -50. Not 50,000. Edit: from the source, the correct statement is “We gain 40 000 t from meteors but also lose about 90 000 t of hydrogen.“

African or European?
Depends on gravity ;-)

Steel is heavier than feathers
Well meteors are heavier than hydrogen
