Which scenario true about the Moon's end? Can someone explain me?
Welcome to the PF.kantincatiskilari said:Which scenario true about the Moon's end? Can someone explain me?
When the sun becomes a red giant in its last phases of life there are two possibilities for the Earth and moon:kantincatiskilari said:Thank very much, sir.My English not good enough to explain myself but I will try.When Sun, becoming the Red Giant, it will probably swallow the earth, is that right? In this situation, what will happen to the Moon? Swallowed by Sun too? Or it will left to orbit long time ago? Or like you said, something crash to the moon and split that? Really, really sorry for my english and thanks your time!
We do not have a good enough understanding of exactly how large the sun may become in its red giant phase, nor precisely how much the Earth's orbit may increase by. Therefore this question cannot be answered with confidence today. As our models of solar evolution improve we may well be able to do so.kantincatiskilari said:Which is more possible scenario? What do you think?
Come again?Chronos said:thus eliminating the primary cause for the moon's orbital changes.
Crustal tides are still a thing. Every part of a body that is not an ideal rigid solid can produce a tidal bulge.Chronos said:No oceans ~ no tides ~ no tidal braking.
Yes, but ... Wiki ... just finished reading the link.Bandersnatch said:not an ideal rigid solid can produce a tidal bulge.
And...? As far as I can see, it says the same thing.Bystander said:Yes, but ... Wiki ... just finished reading the link.

One to one point five orders of magnitude is genuinely in "no man's land."Bandersnatch said:far cry
"Moon's End: What's the Scenario?" is a hypothetical scenario that explores the potential consequences of the moon's destruction. It is a thought experiment designed to encourage critical thinking about the role of the moon and its impact on life on Earth.
In this scenario, the moon is destroyed by a hypothetical catastrophic event, such as a collision with a large asteroid or comet. The purpose is to explore the potential consequences of such an event and how it could affect life on Earth.
The destruction of the moon would have significant consequences for life on Earth. It would disrupt the Earth's orbit, causing changes in tides and weather patterns. It could also lead to an increase in meteor impacts and changes in the Earth's rotation. The loss of the moon's gravitational pull could also affect the Earth's axial tilt, potentially causing extreme shifts in climate.
In this scenario, the destruction of the moon would have a catastrophic impact on human life. The changes in tides and weather patterns would cause massive flooding and severe weather events. The increase in meteor impacts and changes in climate could make the Earth uninhabitable for humans. It would also have a significant impact on agriculture and food production.
No, "Moon's End: What's the Scenario?" is a hypothetical scenario and does not reflect current scientific knowledge. While the destruction of the moon is possible, the exact consequences would depend on various factors and cannot be accurately predicted. The purpose of this scenario is to encourage critical thinking and exploration of potential scenarios, rather than provide a scientifically accurate prediction.
