Electric Charge of Earth

https://isaacphysics.org/questions/rmets_electric_charge_of_earth?board=rmets_measuring_earth&stage=a_level

part b how should i find average charge?
i got the total volume by doing volume of sphere 100m above surface - volume of earth

what value do i use for charge? do i take the average of the charge 100m above and the charge at the surface?

To me it looks like you're meant to treat the Earth's surface as a capacitor
