The Earth doesn't grow like a living organism. Its size has remained roughly constant since its formation about 4.54 billion years ago, when it accreted from cosmic dust and gas. The Earth's mass increases slightly due to meteorite impacts (about 40,000 tons of material fall to Earth annually), but this is negligible compared to the planet's total mass of ~5.97×10^24 kg. Geological processes like plate tectonics and volcanic activity reshape the surface, creating new land (e.g., volcanic islands like Hawaii) and recycling crust, but this isn't growth in the biological sense, more like reconfiguration.
