Explosives would hardly be able to alter the position of earth. The only explosion that came close to altering the earth's position was from an asteroid that created 100 million mega tons of explosives.

What phases of the moon would someone on earth see when the moon is at positions A through F?

On Earth, someone would most likely see less then half of a moon.


What would happen to the moon if earth stopped exerting the fource of gravity on it?

If Earth stopped exerting gravitational force on the Moon, the Moon would no longer be bound to orbit Earth. It would continue to move in a straight line at its current velocity, drifting off into space. Without Earth's gravitational influence, the Moon would follow a trajectory determined solely by its existing momentum. This would alter the dynamics of the Earth-Moon system significantly, potentially affecting tidal patterns and other gravitational interactions.


What would happen to the moon phases if the moon still revolve but earth did not The cycle of phases would be slower?

If the Moon continued to revolve around the Earth while the Earth remained stationary, the cycle of moon phases would still occur, but the appearance of the Moon would change more gradually. The phases would progress at a consistent rate relative to the Moon's orbit, but the context of the Earth not rotating would alter the visibility of those phases for observers on Earth. As a result, the timing of when each phase is visible would be affected, potentially leading to longer periods of visibility for some phases.


Could the earth ever loose its gravity?

No, the Earth's gravity is a fundamental force that arises from its mass. Gravity is what keeps everything on the Earth's surface and holds the atmosphere in place. It would require a significant change in the Earth's mass or a cataclysmic event to alter or eliminate its gravitational pull.


What type of shadow would the earth cast if it were flat?

If the Earth were flat, it would cast a straight and uniform shadow, similar to a rectangular shape, as it would obstruct the light from the Sun in a consistent manner. The size and orientation of the shadow would vary depending on the position of the Sun in the sky.

When an earthquake shifts earth's axis altering time does that alter the earth's future?

No. An earthquake may alter the rate at which the earth rotates by a tiny amount. It would be completely unnoticeable to anything except the most sensitive instruments. It does NOT alter time itself.


If all the people on the Earth jumped at the same time would the earth be thown out of its orbit?

No, the earths orbit is so great that the moon would would half to go at 100,000 mps to alter the orbit of the earth.


Is it easy to observe the position of the earth in the galaxy?

No, in a position where one could see the galaxy as a whole, the earth would appear as a far too insignificant dot, and would likely not even be visible.

Can a nuclear blast alter the earth's rotation?

Not anything of any size that we're capable of building now or in the foreseeable future. But give us time.And it's "nuclear", not "nucular".

Summer


How can you prove if the earth really rotates?

Simply by observing the position of celestial objects such as the sun & stars ! If the Earth didn't rotate, the sun would be in exactly the same position each day, and the side of the planet away from the sun would be frozen ! Additionally, if the earth wasn't rotating, the stars would be in exactly the same places in the night-sky !


Where is the position of the earth sun in January if the earth rotated anti clockwise?

The Earth normally rotates anticlockwise as seen from the north. If you mean 'if the Earth rotates the opposite way', then its position in January (relative to the Sun) could be the same. The four seasons would also be roughly the same.
