If Polaris was twice as far away as it is, it would be three-quarters dimmer, but still quite useful. If it was a few thousand miles away, the Earth would be well inside it.

Will the earth get more continents?

No, not currently. The continents won't change for hundreds of millions of years as they move extremely slowly.

Yes constantly, it is affected by the Solar wind and about every 100 thousand years the poles flip.

How does earth's spheroidal shape affect the speed on the surface of a planet?

Earth's spheroidal shape affects surface speed due to its rotation and the distribution of mass. The equatorial region, being farther from the axis of rotation, experiences a higher linear velocity compared to areas near the poles. This results in varying speeds across the planet's surface, with objects at the equator moving faster than those at higher latitudes. Additionally, the curvature of the Earth influences gravitational forces, which can affect speed differently depending on the location.


To the nearest thousand how many miles is it round the earth at the equator?

25 thousand


Will gravity ever change so it longer holds us?

No gravity cannot change so that it no longer pulls us towards the earth because it is a property of the earth itself. The force of gravity exists between any two masses, even two people, but is much more profound between the earth and us due to the extremely large mass of the earth. Unless the mass of the earth changes, the force of gravity cannot change.


When will Jupiter crash on earth?

It won't. Both Jupiter and Earth are in stable orbits, and there is no reason for that to change. In any event, Jupiter is thousands of times the size of Earth, so it would be more correct to say that Earth would crash into Jupiter. Again, this is extremely improbable.

Does oxygen melt?

Since oxygen is found as a gas here on Earth, it would have to be extremely cold for it to change into a liquid form. So in all but a very rare case, no.


Could we change the Earth's axial tilt?

It would be extremely difficult to change the Earth's axial tilt, as it is primarily determined by the planet's mass distribution and gravitational interactions. Any large-scale attempt to alter the tilt would require a tremendous amount of energy and technology beyond current capabilities.


When the earth tilts why doesn't the ocean water float?

All tilts are stable - they change extremely slowly ... over many thousands of years. (And the water does float - on the rock (of the mantle).
