Does anyone want to talk about outer space?
I read somewhere that if the moon were to come closer to Earth (it never will, it’s actually moving away from us), it wouldn’t just collide with us, it would instead rip apart and become rings around the planet. That’s what Saturn’s rings are made of: Broken moons.
Thanks for sharing, I didn't know that about the moon. What happens if it moves too far away?
It has a great effect on our tides, so it’ll probably result in us having less tidal action in the distant future?
If you wanted to stay on the cold side, then you’ll have to constantly be running in the opposite direction to the rotation. You’ll be known as the “eskimo of endurance” because you’ll be sprinting and sprinting for days. And then when you’ve bought yourself time, you’ll be sleeping one morning, and then you’ll see a glimpse of the sun, and you’ll jump out of bed and start sprinting again, all whilst gulping down a unhealthy amount of radiation pills.
Imagine living on there. One half dressed in their thick winter gear, the other half of the planet wearing their summer gear. Having to take your radiation prevention pills to survive the radiation. I thrive better in the cold so if our planet was like that I would live on the freezing cold side. The hot side would kill me I struggle with the 35 degrees we get each summer in the UK as it is.
Nice idea for your drawings. You should do the solar system. I haven't drawn any planets, I should do that. I spend most of my time drawing superheroes, and cats.
If you know about Mercury, then you already know the sort of planet that we will be living on, when the moon is gone.
29 earth days, is 1 mercury day. This means that half the planet experiences extreme heat, whilst the other half experiences extreme freezing temperatures. There is also no atmosphere on mercury, so the radiation levels are ginormous. And they fluctuate, because there is not much electromagentic reflection.
the reason for the length of a mercury day, is because it has no moons that are causing it to rotate on it’s axis at a speed as high as our planet is rotating.
i did a drawing recently, and I am working on a project where I draw something related to each of the planets of our solar system, in a medieval theme.
i have already done venus, and mercury.
I just read up on it and your right it would affect the tides. I could read things like that for hours, it would affect the weather as well apparently, could cause more heatwaves or ice age. I think the longer nights would be nice though all that extra time to do drawing.
Also, you’ll be far less likely to see the man on the moon. And he won’t be happy cos he’ll be saying “what the bloody fudge? Put me back there, I want to be close to earth again. Nasty gravity, hate you gravity, I’m leaving”
Also, we will have much longer days, and nights.
