    • @jeffgillson
      @jeffgillson 2 года назад +2

      If they were gravitationally locked and orbiting eachother at the exact right speed and distance, then... Yes..
      But, that would change everything you know about earth , like for example, instead of 1-2 meter waves on the coast, we would have tsunamis ALL THE TIME. Waves could be hundreds of meters or even km high, high and low tides would cover significant spans of distance, possibly submerging entire continents.
      Gravity itself might be effected, winds could get out of control, seasons would probably be significantly different, and most if not all life (if there even was life) would have to adapt to the completely different circumstances. It would be highly unlikely there would be intelligent life as the planet would be extremely violent... Basically natural disasters of unimaginable proportions would be standard every day weather - earthquakes literally off the Richter scale*, tsunamis, hurricanes, blizzards, volcanoes exploding 24/7*
      * There would be no "Richter scale" as there would be no Richter
      *24/7 would be meaningless as "hours" "days" and "weeks" would be different amounts of time, and there would be no humans to measure time anyway

      If Luna was a second Earth, we would have an Earth orbiting an Earth. And no, we wouldn’t collide into it… for billions of years at least… But I’d worry more about The Sun turning into a red giant and roasting us at the same time as Luna spirals into Earth.
