Given:

the speed of the earth is

$v=2.95*10^4\text{ m/s}$

mass of the earth is

$m=6.0*10^(24)\text{ kg}$

Required:

momentum of the earth needs to be calculated.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the momentum of the earth we will use momentum formula that is given as

here P is momentum, m is the mass of the earth and v is the velocity of the earth.

plugging all the values in the above relation. we get,

$\begin{gathered} P=6.0*10^(24)\text{ kg }*2.95*10^4\text{ m/s} \\ P=\text{ 17.7 }*10^(28)\text{ kg m/s} \end{gathered}$

Thus, the momentum of the earth is

$P=\text{17.7}*10^(28)\text{kg(m)/(s)}$
