4 thoughts on “If other planets were as close as the moon”
I’ve often wondered about something like that. Not that it matters much but I wonder if those planets are placed at the distance to the moon’s surface or axis. The could put Jupiter around 45,000 miles closer or farther. I knew Jupiter would be coming up but when it did it freaked me out for a second but was very cool to see the second time. I wish it showed Saturn. You’d almost be able to touch the outer ring.
There’d certainly be some gravitational issues.
Imagine the tides.
There’d only be one. The seas-getting-sucked-off-the-earth-to-Jupiter tide.
