62 u/Jaspersong Feb 07 '18 also some amounts of gas escapes earth orbit. iirc it kinda evens out in the end 3 u/[deleted] Feb 07 '18 I had no idea there were Earth farts. 5 u/BCMM Feb 08 '18 It's why helium is relatively scarce. Lots is produced by radioactivities decay, but it's too light so it escapes the atmosphere. 2 u/[deleted] Feb 08 '18 Is that why when I fart I feel lighter?
