What would happen if the moon crashed into the ocean?

It wouldn’t make a difference if the Moon were to hit the Ocean or a chunk of land. The force of the collision would be so great, that it would wipe out humanity as a whole but Earth would continue its orbit. The Moon would also create rings around Earth like Saturn because of Tidal Forces.

What will the earth look like if we travel to the moon?

As we pass the moon – some quarter million miles (about 380,000 km) away – Earth looks like a bright ball in space. It’s not terribly different from the way the moon looks to us. EarthSky lunar calendars show the moon phase for every day in 2021. Earth seen from moon via Apollo 8 astronauts in 1968.

Would Earth survive if the Moon crashed into?

If the Moon fell into the Earth the collision would break the Earth immediately into large chunks as it joined with and merged with the moon. The magma released would cause a firestorm that would engulf the Earth extinguishing all life, boil the oceans and change the angle of our axis changing the spin.

How are the mirror and the moon same when it comes to light?

there are curved mirrors all over the place if you look around and notice. The moon only reflects about 1/8 of the light that hits it. If it reflected light really well, you would notice it. And if it were like a mirror, it would never get really dark on nights when the moon was out.

Does moon only reflect visible light?

You turn a surface that is bright only in the mirror direction of the light source into a surface that bright in all directions. When it comes to planets and moons, the surface roughness is quite high….Why is the moon so bright?

What would happen if there was no atmosphere on the Moon?

But because the moon has no atmosphere, you would still be able to look at the stars during the day. The Earth would also look much bigger than the moon does to us. (The Earth is about four times larger than the moon, in diameter.) And from the perspective of the moon, Earth would also always appear to be in a fixed location.

What would happen if we left footprints on the Moon?

All the footprints and flags we’ve 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 in diameter (23,000-miles). Making Earth the second planet in the solar system, after Saturn, to have this striking ring of beauty.

Why does the far side of the moon face the Sun?

But following the night of each full moon, as the Moon orbits around Earth, we start to see less of the Moon lit by the Sun. Eventually, the Moon reaches a point in its orbit when we don’t see any of the Moon illuminated. At that point, the far side of the Moon is facing the Sun.

What happens if you camp on the far side of the Moon?

If you were camped out on the far side of the moon, you’d never have a view of Earth. If you were based on the near side, you’d see Earth all the time.
