What if the moon fell to the Earth?

Think if the moon suddenly began getting closer to Earth. To the point my question is that where it was on a collision course with our planet?,The moon is the Earth's only natural satellite and the largest object to shine our night sky. Its a first place where humans have set foot. The moon gravitational pull causes tides on Earth. Tides that vigor have been the encouragement for life in our oceans to move on land. This pulls also keeps Earth from jiggle on its axis that making our climate relatively stable. So today in my post i will discuss the very interesting question"What would when the moon fell to Earth?". So do not forget to login in our site and be a site member.



What happen When suddenly moon started driving in Earth's direction?


The moon makes Earth a move livable place. The moon's plan to destroy Earth by bumping into it, it would break into pieces the moment reaches the Roche limit. The moon itself would destroyer never making it to Earth's surface. And that's going to look very impressive. So "What is Roche limit?".


In celestial machines, it is the point in which the gravity holding a satellite together is very weaker than the tidal forces trying to pull it apart. So, the moon can only get close as 18,470 km (11,500 miles) away from Earth, before getting collapsed with Earth. The tidal force would tear it apart. All of the footprints and flags we have left on the moon, all of its craters and valleys would scatter to form a breathtaking ring of debris above Earth's equator.


37,000 kilometers (that is 23,000 in miles) in diameter making Earth the second planet in the solar system, after Saturn, to have the sparkling ring of beauty. The difference being that our ring would not last long it disappears billion years ago. The slab of our former satellite, the moon, would rain down on Earth. It would be as if hundreds or thousands of asteroids were falling down on us and wiping out entire cities in this process.


When the moon began its route towards the planet, it would increase the tidal impact it has on us. By the time it hit the Roche limit than the Earth attract moon towards its surface and become collapsed. ,When it crossing Roche limit than it would be causing tides as high as 7600 meters higher than the surface of Earth. Our world would be destroyed by the army of the tsunamis. On the other hand this might solution to global warming because Earth rotation would speeds up. Our days become shorter and shorter because of the Earth's speed of rotation. Global temperatures would go down and no one would worry about the change in climatic conditions.


The End

This the very big story of collision of Earth's and the Moon. If you like my post than click on heart button and do not forget to share my post in different platforms. And do not forget to login in our site and get updated about new posts. Thank You.
