What if the Earth had two Moons?
如果地球有两个月亮会怎么样?
So What? Even I have my two lollipops,I lick them every day.
那又怎样?即使我有两个棒棒糖,我可以每天都舔它.
That's gross AumSum.The most obvious effect of two moons would be that our nights would be much much brighter that would certainly be bad news for stargazers and astronomers.
那将是肥胖的奥姆.萨姆,这将是两个月亮最明显的影响。我们的夜晚将更明亮,对天文爱好者和天文学家来说,这无疑是个坏消息。
Also as you all know that tides on earth are а result of the moon,so two moons would either amplify this effect or cancel out each other.
同样,你们都知道,月亮造成了地球上的潮汐。所以,两个月亮要么放大这种效应,要么相互抵消。
If they were to amplify then we could have huge tides effectively making living near shorelines almost impossible.
如果效应被放大,我们可能会有巨大的潮汐,生活在海岸线附近将几乎不可能。
But it will definitely be good news for all the surfers.
但对所有的冲浪者来说,这绝对是个好消息。
Finally as the number of moons increases so will the number of solar eclipses.
最后,随着月亮数量的增加,日食的数量也会增加。
Also hypothetically if they were to ever collide with each other then the amount of debris coming out of such collision would make living on earth almost impossible.
同样,假设它们之间发生碰撞,那么碰撞产生的大量碎片将使地球.上的生命几乎不可能存在。
What if Earth Stopped Spinning?
如果地球停止转动会怎么样?
It would gain weight.
人的体重会增加。
No AumSum. The Earth spins at а speed of 1000 miles-per-hour. Its atmosphere also moves along with it at a constant speed.
这世界上将没有奥姆萨姆,地球以每小时1000英里的速度自转,其大气也随着它以恒定的速度移动。
If the earth stops spinning suddenly, the atmosphere would still be in motion, sending everything on the earth's surface flying into the atmosphere.
如果地球突然停止转动,大气仍在运动,地球表面的一切都将被抛到大气中。
Now earth' s spinning generates a centrifugal force which is responsible for the huge bulge of water around the equator.
现在,地球自转产生了离心力,这种离心力是赤道附近的水巨型膨胀的原因。
No spinning means no centrifugal force.
没有旋转就没有离心力。
This water would migrate towards the poles where gravity is the strongest, leaving behind a giant landmass.
这些水会向地心引力最强的两极移动,留下一块巨大的陆地。
Also remember that even though the earth stops spinning, it is still revolving around the sun.
还要记住,即使地球停止自转,它仍绕着太阳旋转。
This means we would experience a 6-month day, fllowed by 6-month night.
这意味着,我们将经历6个月的白天,然后是6个月的夜
Some experts also believe that earth's rotation generates its magnetic field.
一些专家还认为,地球的自转产生了磁场。
Without rotation there would be no magnetic field to protect us from the harmful solar winds,making it extremely difficult to survive.
没有自转,就没有磁场保护我们免受太阳风的伤害,阳风让人类难以生存。
What if there was no Gravity on Earth?
如果地球没有引力会发生什么?
No Problem. I will order my burger from ѕрace.
没问题。我将从太空预订汉堡。
Oh AumSum. From purely physics point of view there would be no earth left,as no gravity means no mass.
哦, 奥姆.萨姆。从纯粹的物理学角度来看,地球将不复存在,因为没有引力就没有质量。
But leaving this point aside, let's see what else will happen.
先不管这一点, 看看还会发生什么。
Oceans rivers and lakes will float away.Entire atmosphere will vanish, only vacuum will be left.
海洋、河流和湖泊都会漂走,整个大气层都将消失,只留下真空。
Everything on the surface of the earth including humans, cars, rocks, etc will become weightless and float away into space.
地球表面的一切,包括人类、汽车、岩石等,都将失重,飘向太空。
Things which are rooted into earth like trees, bridges and buildings will remain but not for long.
树木、桥梁和建筑物等扎根于土地的东西将保留下来,但不会长久。
On a funnier note anybody will be able to lift heavy weights.
更有趣的是,任何人都能举起重物。
Football will become a one kick game. And there will be no need of stairs or elevators.
足球将变成只能踢一次的游戏,也不再需要楼梯和电梯.
Finally, earth will also start breaking into chunks as it is held together by gravity.
最后,地球也将开始分裂成块,因为它靠引力结合在一起。
