Will the Moon Collide with the Earth? What would happen?
We know that this is very unlikely to happen, but our readers like to read stupidly sinister things, and at the request of many today I come here to bring you an article talking about what would happen if our natural satellite, the Moon, brightens the our nights suddenly fell from the sky and collided with our planet earth.
If the Moon collided at this exact moment with Planet Earth, I guarantee you that it would be extremely scary, have you thought, to look at the sky and come across that huge satellite coming our way? Many people would have a heart attack and die long before the conflict between these two bodies took place.
A video made by a YouTuber shows what would happen with this impact, the earth would be reduced to a rocky ball on fire, with several volcanoes erupting at the same time, in short, terrestrial life would go extinct in a few moments, in case you have curious, I'll leave this video below, so you can check it out yourself.
Do You Know How the Moon Formed?
Like many other facts in the universe, the fact of the Moon's existence is summarized in theories, nothing so far is 100% proven, but the most accepted theory involving the creation on our satellite is that it is a piece of planet earth itself? What do you mean, well, it's believed that about 4.5 billion years ago a Mars-sized object crashed into Earth, and so a piece of the planet broke apart going into orbit.
Remembering that the Mayan Civilization and the Sumerian Civilization also believe that the Moon appeared after a huge celestial body crashed into the Earth, but the celestial body that they believed collided with Earth was a Ninth planet that exists in the Solar System? Got confused? They believed and to this day have believed they believe in the Existence of Planet X, or Planet Nibiru.
2 Amazing facts about the moon
Well, we've already talked about whether the moon will hit the earth and now I'm going to bring you two amazing facts about this satellite. THE first is that it is 30 Earths away from our planet, that is, to get there we would have to travel a distance equivalent to 30 times around our planet.
Honestly, for many it may seem long, but I consider this distance to be quite short, compared to the size of the entire Solar System.
THE second curiosity is that maybe you don't know, but the Moon is slowing down the Earth's rotation speed, what do you mean? This natural satellite plays a role partially responsible for the ebb and flow of the tides.
And physicist George Darwin (son of Charles Darwin) discovered something incredible, do you know what it is? That the way the moon's gravity pulls on Earth's water is nothing less than diluting the Earth's rotation.
In a simpler way to understand, the Moon is making our days become little by little longer and longer. However, this increase in day length is practically imperceptible, since it is only 0.002 seconds per century, almost nothing lol.
