What if the Earth had two Moons?
如果地球有兩個月亮會怎麼樣?
So What? Even I have my two lollipops,I lick them every day.
那又怎樣?即使我有兩個棒棒糖,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.
那將是肥胖的奧姆.薩姆,這將是兩個月亮最明顯的影響。我們的夜晚將更明亮,對天文愛好者和天文學家來說,這無疑是個壞消息。
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.
同樣,你們都知道,月亮造成了地球上的潮汐。所以,兩個月亮要麼放大這種效應,要麼相互抵消。
If they were to amplify then we could have huge tides effectively making living near shorelines almost impossible.
如果效應被放大,我們可能會有巨大的潮汐,生活在海岸線附近將幾乎不可能。
But it will definitely be good news for all the surfers.
但對所有的衝浪者來說,這絕對是個好消息。
Finally as the number of moons increases so will the number of solar eclipses.
最後,隨著月亮數量的增加,日食的數量也會增加。
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.
同樣,假設它們之間發生碰撞,那麼碰撞產生的大量碎片將使地球.上的生命幾乎不可能存在。
What if Earth Stopped Spinning?
如果地球停止轉動會怎麼樣?
It would gain weight.
人的體重會增加。
No AumSum. The Earth spins at а speed of 1000 miles-per-hour. Its atmosphere also moves along with it at a constant speed.
這世界上將沒有奧姆薩姆,地球以每小時1000英裡的速度自轉,其大氣也隨著它以恆定的速度移動。
If the earth stops spinning suddenly, the atmosphere would still be in motion, sending everything on the earth's surface flying into the atmosphere.
如果地球突然停止轉動,大氣仍在運動,地球表面的一切都將被拋到大氣中。
Now earth' s spinning generates a centrifugal force which is responsible for the huge bulge of water around the equator.
現在,地球自轉產生了離心力,這種離心力是赤道附近的水巨型膨脹的原因。
No spinning means no centrifugal force.
沒有旋轉就沒有離心力。
This water would migrate towards the poles where gravity is the strongest, leaving behind a giant landmass.
這些水會向地心引力最強的兩極移動,留下一塊巨大的陸地。
Also remember that even though the earth stops spinning, it is still revolving around the sun.
還要記住,即使地球停止自轉,它仍繞著太陽旋轉。
This means we would experience a 6-month day, fllowed by 6-month night.
這意味著,我們將經歷6個月的白天,然後是6個月的夜
Some experts also believe that earth's rotation generates its magnetic field.
一些專家還認為,地球的自轉產生了磁場。
Without rotation there would be no magnetic field to protect us from the harmful solar winds,making it extremely difficult to survive.
沒有自轉,就沒有磁場保護我們免受太陽風的傷害,陽風讓人類難以生存。
What if there was no Gravity on Earth?
如果地球沒有引力會發生什麼?
No Problem. I will order my burger from рace.
沒問題。我將從太空預訂漢堡。
Oh AumSum. From purely physics point of view there would be no earth left,as no gravity means no mass.
哦, 奧姆.薩姆。從純粹的物理學角度來看,地球將不復存在,因為沒有引力就沒有質量。
But leaving this point aside, let's see what else will happen.
先不管這一點, 看看還會發生什麼。
Oceans rivers and lakes will float away.Entire atmosphere will vanish, only vacuum will be left.
海洋、河流和湖泊都會漂走,整個大氣層都將消失,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,包括人類、汽車、巖石等,都將失重,飄向太空。
Things which are rooted into earth like trees, bridges and buildings will remain but not for long.
樹木、橋梁和建築物等紮根於土地的東西將保留下來,但不會長久。
On a funnier note anybody will be able to lift heavy weights.
更有趣的是,任何人都能舉起重物。
Football will become a one kick game. And there will be no need of stairs or elevators.
足球將變成只能踢一次的遊戲,也不再需要樓梯和電梯.
Finally, earth will also start breaking into chunks as it is held together by gravity.
最後,地球也將開始分裂成塊,因為它靠引力結合在一起。
