Explanation:
The mass of an object is a measure of the object's inertial property, or the amount of matter it contains. The weight of an object is a measure of the force exerted on the object by gravity, or the force needed to support it. The pull of gravity on the earth gives an object a downward acceleration of about 9.8 m/s2.

Answer:
The definition of an absolute reference frame would be that fixed reference frame that every observer would rest at all times in his/her state of motion.
Explanation:
Before starting, we will convert all the givens into standard units as follows:
1.8 * 10^14 KJ/sec = 1.8 * 10^14 * 1000 = 1.8 * 10^17 J/sec
24 hours = 24 * 60 * 60 = 86400 second
Now, we are given that:
The earth receives 1.8 * 10^17 J/sec. We will begin by calculating the total energy received by the earth in 24-hours
Total energy = 1.8 * 10^17 * 86400 = 1.5552 * 10^22 Joules
Then we will get the mass from the following rule:
E = m * c^2 where:
E is the total energy = 1.5552 * 10^22 Joules
m is the mass we need to find
c is the speed of light = 3 * 10^8 m/sec
Substitute with the givens to get the mass as follows:
1.5552 * 10^22 = m * (3*10^8)^2
m = 172800 kg
