What would happen if Earth were twice its current size?

 If the Earth were twice as big, there would be consequences especially regarding the force of gravity!

In fact, if the Earth had double its current radius, this would mean 8 times the volume and mass, but it would also mean double the gravitational force.

We would then be twice as heavy, because the gravitational force increases as the density and radius of the planet increase.

The mountains would be lower and flatter, and if you fell into the void, you would accelerate faster and hit the ground harder!

There would be more "stocky" life forms, with thicker bones, to be able to survive with this greater gravitational force.

The atmospheric pressure would increase.

And sending probes, rockets and satellites into space would be prohibitively expensive!

Air travel would probably also be significantly more difficult and more expensive!

The oceans would be even deeper and the moon would be closer, causing enormous ocean tides.

The core and liquid mantle would also be much larger, causing increased pressure and heat beneath the Earth's surface.

What are some other mind-blowing facts about Earth's movement that most people don't know?

 Earth never occupies the same physical space twice. By your next birthday, you will be billions of miles away from where you are right now.

While days are gradually lengthening due to lunar friction and the planet's axis has a slight, shifting wobble, the most dramatic hidden movement is the true shape of Earth's orbit.

The Sun orbits the center of the Milky Way at roughly 514,000 miles per hour (827,000 kilometers per hour). Because the Sun pulls the planets along with it, Earth's path is not a repeating loop. Instead, it forms a continuous, stretching helix.

The solar system is also tilted at about a 60-degree angle relative to the galactic plane. This means Earth is practically plowing forward and sideways through the galaxy, spiraling around a star that is itself bobbing up and down through the Milky Way's disc.

Because of this corkscrew motion, a year is not a closed circle. It is a long, spiraling forward voyage through a part of the galaxy that humanity has never experienced before.

How much would Saturn and Jupiter's diamonds cost on Earth?

 I’ll let you in on a little secret but diamonds aren’t worth much. They’re pretty common when you come down to it. I mean these are diamonds:

They’re just rocks. Would you know these were diamonds if you first saw them? No of course not.

It’s the “gem grade” diamonds that are worth the hype. And yes it’s hype as even they are pretty common. The reason they’re so expensive is because diamond cartels like DeBeers are artificially inflating the price by sitting on literal warehouses full of them and only releasing them a little at a time. It keeps the price high.

Buy a diamond and try to sell it immediately afterwards. You’re lucky to get 50% of what you paid for it. That’s how worthless they are. And now you have these diamonds raining down in Jupiter and Saturn’s atmosphere. You think they’re gem grade? No. They’re like the rocks shown up top but maybe bigger.

Sure you could maybe sell them at a premium because they’re “space diamonds” and also you’d have no choice because it cost billions to go out and get them so maybe a dozen people in the world would be able to afford them.

And yes DeBeers and others have turned formerly worthless diamonds into fancy named diamonds because they realized people are stupid enough to fall for the hype and slick marketing campaign.

Before the expensive ones were the clear, blue and pink variety. Blue and pink commanded a higher price because they were so rare. But yellow diamonds were trash until they started marketing them as “Canary diamonds”. Brown diamonds became “Chocolate diamonds”. Beige diamonds became “Champagne” or “Cognac diamonds” and so on. So why not a huge diamond called a “Space diamond” that is so exclusive that only the super rich can afford? It creates a status symbol that people want to show off their wealth.

Have you ever heard of the strangest humans on Earth?

 Alexander the Great's granddaughter, who never got sick, and her daughter gave birth at the age of 70!!

The Hunza people are a tribe that lives in a valley known as the "Valley of Immortality." They live long lives, women give birth at the age of 70, and they do not suffer from the epidemics and diseases of this era. Their youth is eternal, as if they live on a planet other than our own. Their women are beautiful, and although they know nothing of civilization, they know how to enjoy and preserve their lives.

The Hunza tribe has a population of approximately 920,000, and its name means "united at a single front line like an arrow." The members of the tribe live a daily life that is the secret to their eternal youth. They eat raw vegetables and fruits, protein from milk, eggs, and cheese, and they have fasting periods, drinking only fresh juice for three months each year, yet they remain healthy, and they only bathe in cold water, even during the coldest time of the year. Their daily life includes walking distances of more than 20 kilometers.

Women enjoy the health to be eligible to give birth at 70 and have fresh skin like a child's, while men are strong and have extraordinary endurance, and the physical exercise necessary to continue life is difficult but there is no room for laziness because their tribe does not have modern technology. This is one of the most dangerous things that threatens heart health, and therefore they live up to 145 years.

These people were discovered by chance in 1984 when a security guard at London Airport stopped a man named "Abdul Maband." His date of birth was 1932 according to his passport, and he looked to be in his 30s. Because the man was a security guard, he told the guard about his hometown.

Andwind, a Hindi-language website, states that this community speaks Bruchski and claims to be descendants of one of Alexander the Great's armies, the army of "Alexanddar," who got lost alone in the narrow mountains of the Himalayas in the 4th century.

What would happen if a black hole the size of an atom appeared on the surface of the earth?

 You make the answer a little more unexpected by talking about its size and not its mass. But let's go!

Contrary to what was said in a previous answer, this black hole would persist!

We will assume that its radius is of the order of that of an atom, therefore of an Angstrom ().

We further assume that the mass is spherically symmetrical and is homogeneous.

The Schwarzschild radius is given by:

We fix now (we assume that the ball of matter is “just” a black hole, ie that its Schwarzschild radius is exactly its physical radius).

So we have:

(surprising, no?)

It evaporates in one time:

seconds.

Either...incomparably longer than the age of the universe.

---

But I feel that the fan of Michael Bay's explosive films in you is not satisfied.

The power released by Hawking radiation you tell me?

Watts.

Nothing really impressive, sorry.

So there you go...you will have a black hole that will destroy everything mechanically, and that will last a very, very long time...in silence.

By engulfing the Earth, it will have multiplied its mass by approximately one million. Otherwise at the level of the Solar system...nothing special happens.

The moon is slightly more attracted and will follow orbits that are barely more elliptical (almost imperceptible).

Fast-forward over a few billion years:

As it grows, part of the Sun, a red giant to come, will become trapped there and the little black hole of nothing at all will gain mass to the point of consuming it entirely.

But until then nothing spectacular.

Congratulations...you ended humanity without even a small fireworks display

Are we alone in the universe?

 Doubt it, there are 100 billion stars in our galaxy, and about every 5 of them have planets orbiting them. And there are many galaxies, numbers become meaningless, and there are many that are thousands of times larger than the Milky Way. But it is big, the distances are enormous, but I think it is unlikely that only a tiny fraction of one of them has intelligent life on it, although I question whether humans are as intelligent as we think, then we had not polluted our thin atmosphere with carbon that warms the climate to a limit that will soon be irreversible, so we wipe out the basis of life on the planet, for what, that a few people should have enormous incomes. Meaningless. So I sincerely hope that we are not alone, because then the universe will be sterile for intelligent beings in a short time.

What is an unreachable place on earth?

 Humans are extremely resilient and have reached places that once seemed impossible, the Summit of Mt. Everest, the depths of Mariana trench, the frozen land of Antarctica and even the surface of the Moon. Yet there exists a place right here on Earth that no human has ever stepped on and likely no one ever will.

The place I am talking about is the Tongshanjiabu, an unclimbed and unattempted Himalayan peak with a height of about 7207 meters. No human has ever reached its summit.

What's makes this even more astonishing is that it was first photographed only in the year 2000. Before that, only the locals and a handful of cartographers knew about its existence. Even today it remains virtually unknown to the world.

Given it's unique location on the disputed China-Bhutan border and Bhutan's absolute ban on climbing peaks higher than 6000 meters since 2003, it is virtually impossible for any human to set foot on it.

What" would happen to the earth if humans suddenly disappeared?

 If humans vanished instantly, New York City's subways would flood in just 36 hours. The planet wouldn't fall silent; it would begin a chaotic process of reclaiming its space.

Within days, the fossil-fuel power plants that supply much of the global grid would run out of fuel. Wind turbines and solar panels would operate until their inverters failed or dust coated their surfaces. Nuclear power plants are programmed to shut down automatically, but their spent-fuel cooling pools rely on backup generators. Once those generators ran out of diesel, localized meltdowns could occur, releasing radiation into the surrounding environments.

Many major cities are engaged in a constant, hidden battle against water. Without people to run massive underground pumps, subterranean infrastructure would rapidly drown. Over the next few decades, the freeze-thaw cycle of water would crack pavements and building foundations. Weeds, vines, and eventually trees would take root in the concrete fissures, turning urban centers into dense forests.

Wildlife would experience a drastic shift. Domesticated animals would face immediate hardship, as millions of livestock and pets would lack food and water. Those that escaped would have to compete with wild predators. Highly specialized dog breeds would struggle to survive, but feral cats, pigs, and larger dogs might form packs, eventually interbreeding with wild counterparts. Abandoned cities would become new ecosystems, with skyscrapers serving as artificial cliffs for birds of prey to hunt proliferating rodent populations.

Fast forward a few centuries, and most modern architecture would be unrecognizable. Steel bridges would rust, snap, and collapse into rivers. Wooden structures would rot or burn from unsuppressed lightning strikes. The only enduring monuments would be massive stone structures like the Pyramids of Giza, Mount Rushmore, or the Hoover Dam.

Millions of years later, the human legacy would be reduced to a bizarre geological stratum—a thin layer of fossilized plastics, synthetic chemicals, and concentrated radioactive isotopes buried deep within the crust. Earth would eventually adapt and move on, erasing nearly all surface evidence that humans were ever there.

How easy is it for a person to "fall" off the moon and be carried by earth's gravity?

 Fall? Impossible.

The Moon has its own gravitational field. At its surface it is a sixth of Earth's but it is still there.

Commander David Scott dropping a hammer and a feather on the Moon during the Apollo 15 mission.

Gravitational force falls off with distance so between the Moon and Earth, the point at which the Earth's gravitation becomes greater than the Moon's is around 15% of the way to Earth. That is around 58,000km (36,000 miles) above the Moon's surface.

Unless you can find a way to fall upwards to a height of 58,000km, even working against the Moon's weaker gravity, you are not going to succeed.

How would life on Earth change if the Moon vanished overnight?

 If the Moon vanished tonight, Earth wouldn't be destroyed by massive earthquakes. Instead, the world's oceans would be instantly, profoundly silenced.

The Moon is the primary engine behind Earth's tidal system, and its absence would fundamentally rewrite the rules of life on the planet. The first noticeable change would be the tides. The oceans would not become completely still, as the Sun's gravity also pulls on Earth's water, but solar tides are only about 40% as strong as lunar tides. High and low tides would shrink dramatically. This sudden drop in tidal churn would devastate intertidal zones—the nutrient-rich coastal regions where land and sea meet. Crabs, mussels, starfish, and the millions of migratory birds that rely on these ecosystems for food would face immediate starvation, sending a shockwave of extinction up the marine food chain.

When night fell, the planet would plunge into an unprecedented darkness. Without the Moon to reflect sunlight, nights would be illuminated only by stars and the faint glow of the Milky Way. This sudden darkness would disrupt thousands of nocturnal species. Predators like lions and owls rely on moonlight to hunt, while species like sea turtles depend on the moon's reflection to guide hatchlings to the ocean. Furthermore, the reproductive cycles of countless marine organisms, such as corals that synchronize their mass spawning events to the phases of the moon, would be completely derailed.

However, the most severe consequence would unfold slowly over millions of years. The Earth rotates on an axis tilted at roughly 23.5 degrees, which gives the planet its predictable, life-sustaining seasons. The Moon acts as a massive gravitational anchor, keeping this tilt remarkably stable. Without the Moon, Earth's axis would eventually wobble chaotically. Astronomers calculate that the planetary tilt could shift anywhere from 0 to 85 degrees over time. At an 85-degree tilt, the Earth would rotate almost on its side. The poles would be exposed to continuous, baking sunlight for six months, melting all ice, while the equator would freeze in permanent darkness.

Ultimately, while humans and terrestrial animals might survive the immediate darkness and quieted oceans, the loss of the Moon would slowly transform Earth into a wildly unpredictable and largely inhospitable world.

What will Earth be like in 999 trillion years?

 As other answers have said, the Earth will be long gone.

Moreover you’re asking about a time that’s on the order of 100,000 times the current age of the universe. Extrapolating what we know today onward to a future that distant would be like trying to look at a sperm that’s within one hour of conception and use that to visualize how a 10 year old child will look.

Regardless of what various physical theories might predict, we actually know very little about what a time 1,000,000,000,000,000 years in the future would look like.

What is the most dangerous animal on earth?

 If you believe this fact, the most dangerous animal is a Nile crocodile named Gustave.

First seen in Burundi in 1998, Gustave was estimated to be 60 years old, weigh 1 ton, and measure 6.1 meters long in 2004. Later, Gustave sightings were recorded at other times.

It is believed that Gustave was last seen in 2008. In fact, Gustave has become larger, measuring over 7 meters in length.

The crocodile suspected to be Gustave.

Gustave is believed to have killed 300 people although he never took human victims. He prefers to eat hippos where most crocodiles are usually afraid and shy away from hippos.

The crocodile, thought to be Gustave, greedily devoured its innocent victims.

The locals vow to kill Gustave, but have so far been unsuccessful. Of the 300 people killed, it is believed that half of the 300 people killed by Gustave were hunters who wanted to find him.

Gustave's experts

Gustave is believed to be distinguishable from other crocodiles by his gunshot wounds and his ferocity. This means that few who have seen him have survived.

Several crocodiles thought to be Gustave have been shot and killed.

But then renowned Gustav expert, Patrice Faye, believed that they were all small lizards and Gustav was still roaming free.

You can't ignore that the whole story might be just nonsense.

Do gods still come to Earth these days?

 

" yamaha " is one of the magnificent names in the * Vishnu Sahasranama * (The Thousand Names of Vishnu). Adi Shankara, in his commentary, interpreted "Yama" as " He who guides from within "

Alternatively, one may conceive of Him as " He who resides within and provides guidance ". Residing in close proximity to the spine within the physical body, Lord Yama continuously records the karmic consequences of the soul (*Jiva*). This constitutes His subtle body.

"Yama" also signifies "He who restrains" — the One who ensures that all things remain in their proper order.

" yah prithivIm antarO yamayati......" — *Brihadaranyaka Upanishad*. This verse declares that He who resides within the Earth and restrains the Earth; who resides within Fire and restrains Fire; and who resides within the Wind and restrains the Wind—He is Yama.

He establishes rules; should they be defied, He exercises His power of restraint.

Yama is *Samavarti*—the Impartial Judge. He is the very embodiment of serenity; to those who perform virtuous deeds, He appears in this benevolent form. Yama reveals Himself to the soul just prior to the moment of death. However, to sinners, He appears in a terrifying guise—with blazing red eyes, protruding fangs, a long nose, and wielding a noose (*Pasha*). The sinner is struck with abject terror.

The * kaThOpanishad * presents the profound dialogue between Yama and Nachiketa. This Upanishad offers a magnificent exposition on the true nature of the Soul (*Atman*).

Yama is one of the divine entities who constantly observe and witness our karmic actions.

The *Garuda Purana* affirms this truth, stating: "The Sun (*Aditya*), the Moon (*Chandra*), the Wind (*Anila*), Fire (*Anala*), the Earth (*Bhumi*), Water (*Apa*), the Heart (*Hridaya*), Yama, Day (*Ahas*), Night (*Ratri*), the two Twilights (*Sandhyas*), and *Dharma*—these are the witnesses who observe and know the conduct of every human being." All these entities serve as witnesses, constantly observing the actions of living beings.

These witnesses report matters exactly as they are; they take note of every deed—whether performed knowingly or unknowingly. One can safeguard oneself by cultivating a favorable relationship with them.

How?

Through " vrataiScha dAnaiScha satyam......"—that is, through the observance of vows and acts of charity. If these practices are performed consistently, all these witnesses become pleased. Consequently, they will bear favorable testimony.

Among these witnesses resides the Heart—the Inner Self. We are, in fact, fully aware of our own actions; yet, the veil of *Maya* (illusion) often obscures this awareness.

Gods will not come at times, they stay with us always, observe our actions and guide us.

Best example is Sun. He, in the form of his rays, always touches us.
