Quote HistoryQuoted: It would be bad. Though not as bad as if someone had blown it up. Then the remains would come crashing down to Earth in a 5,000 year long barrage. You might call it a Hard Rain? |

Sun would be responsible for earths tides so they wouldn’t be as strong.
Moon help pulls the earth on its axis so that be a problem. Earth would spin faster Marine life would die |

Quoted: Say a large asteroid strike 'sploded it. And the pieces sailed away from earth, not toward it. What would be the result? Mass hysteria? Dogs and cats living together? 35 foot long Twinkies? What? It wouldn’t happen that way, chunks of the moon would hit the earth and it would probably be a extinction level event. But even I say humanity somehow survived it would mess up the tides as well the earth would “wobble” and most of what is habitatitable now would not be. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It rotates once a month. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Why doesn't it rotate? Because it's a spaceship inside It rotates once a month. The moon orbits the Earth once every 27.322 days. It also takes approximately 27 days for the moon to rotate once on its axis. As a result, the moon does not seem to be spinning but appears to observers from Earth to be keeping almost perfectly still. Scientists call this synchronous rotation. The side of the moon that perpetually faces Earth is known as the near side. The opposite or "back" side is the far side. Sometimes the far side is called the dark side of the moon, but this is inaccurate. When the moon is between the Earth and the sun, during one of the moon phases called the new moon, the back side of the moon is bathed in daylight. Must be to create gravity inside the spaceship

Quote HistoryQuoted: The Earth and Moon are much more like a binary planet system than a planet with a satellite. The moon is nearly 1/4 the mass of Earth. That's huge for a moon. The Moon is approximately 2% of the Earth’s mass. Not sure where you got your numbers, but check again. |

Anyway, the moon is a remnant of a collision between Earth and a roughly Mars size planetary mass that collided around the same time as the Late Heavy Bombardment. In that collision the Earth got super-enriched with a bunch of heavy elements like the trans-uranics Thorium and Uranium and plain heavy elements like Iron. The light silicates and stuff all coalesced into the moon. That's why there's so little useful shit there; it's just a big ball of cosmic gravitationally sintered ashtray sand.

The decay heat from that all thorium and uranium and all the extra iron is where we get the tectonic and magnetic flux that keeps the planet alive.

Earth is an EXTREMELY odd planet. Literally you could have a planet formed exactly like earth at the same distance from an identical star to Sol and without that wildly unusual collision that almost doubles the metallicity so you get lots of tectonic flux and magnetic dynamism, it won't work like Earth.

Earth also just happens to be about in the single most ideal observation point of anywhere in the entire universe to observe the totallity of the cosmic history as far as we can tell, overall. There are certainly places where if we were there we could see certain parts of cosmic history better, but no where we can see where you can see more of it in total at the same time than where we are now.

Our atmosphere would gradually have an increase in helium and hydrogen. The tides would gradually diminish. I don't know how much the tides affect water at the poles but I suspect the sloshing effect would decrease and equater sea level would rise and polar sea level would drop.
With a loss of tides, the surface of the ocean would heat up much more causing greater hurricanes. The increased sea heat would increase overall moisture in the atmosphere causing increased winter snows across the globe, possibly an advance in glaciers. Increased ocean heat would affect sea life across the globe at all depths. I dont think the tectonic activity would decrease/increase in humanities timeline. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Helium? What does the moon have to do with helium? We get it from alpha decay of thorium and uranium here. It is too light to be retained by 1g, so it is lost at a constant rate once it reaches the atmosphere. It is the second most abundant element in the universe, but not on Earth. It must needs be free to roam the vast depths of space, the final frontier. And just like that. My high school lesson from 25 years makes more sense. Thanks |

1. near elimination of tidal forces
2. earth's rotation would speed up = shorter days = more days per year 3. earth's axis tilt would have greater variance leading to MUCH great weather inconsistency = Democrats would get more money for "climate change" |

I saw this movie. Bruce Willis, Superman and Bezos farm asteroids and place them into Earth's orbit where they all get glued together by OnlyFans subscribers. Occasionally, we drop an asteroid into the Pacific to keep the waves moving and the Godzilla population down.

My high school lesson from 25 years makes more sense. Thanks Thanks. Many people do not have a clear grasp of the difference between adsorption and absorption. The latter when it's actually internally part of the solvent molecule, like salt in water. Adsorption is when it's just kind of sticking because it's sort of clingy. That what activated carbon filtration does. Stuff just sticks to it because of the huge amount of fuzzy surface area, like the carbon is knit socks and the filtrates are stick-tite seeds. It's not actually reacting with carbon at some ionic level and forming new carbon compounds. |
