Earth and Moon Orbits Aligned: Consequences?

AI Thread Summary
If the Moon's orbit around Earth aligned with Earth's orbit around the Sun, it would result in a solar and lunar eclipse occurring every lunar month. This alignment would significantly increase the frequency of eclipses, altering the visibility and timing of these events. The gravitational dynamics between the Earth and Moon could also change, potentially affecting tides and climate patterns. Such a scenario would have profound implications for both astronomical observations and Earth's ecological systems. The discussion highlights the fascinating interplay between celestial mechanics and their consequences on Earth.

what would happen if moon orbits around Earth were to be on the same plane as the earthe Earth's orbit around the sun?

Thread 'Is there a white hole inside every black hole?'

This is what I am thinking. How much feasible is it? There is a white hole inside every black hole The white hole spits mass/energy out continuously The mass/energy that is spit out of a white hole drops back into it eventually. This is because of extreme space time curvature around the white hole Ironically this extreme space time curvature of the space around a white hole is caused by the huge mass/energy packed in the white hole Because of continuously spitting mass/energy which keeps...
