What if the world is a cube?

So the edges of the Earth would be barren rock with no atmosphere, and the centre of each face would play host to giant oceans and a very thick atmosphere, each region potentially with its own distinct ecosystems. It would be a very different planet to our own.

Can a planet be cube shaped?

So there is no perfect cube or sphere planet or asteroid, but the more mass the higher the chances to look like a sphere.

Why is the Earth called a cube?

Plato, the Greek philosopher who lived in the 5th century B.C.E., believed that the universe was made of five types of matter: earth, air, fire, water, and cosmos. Each was described with a particular geometry, a platonic shape. For earth, that shape was the cube.

What if Earth had rings?

At the equator, the rings would appear to divide the sun, casting a dramatic shadow over half the world. Likewise, the rings themselves would cast shadows on Earth.

What would happen if the moon disappeared?

It is the pull of the Moon's gravity on the Earth that holds our planet in place. Without the Moon stabilising our tilt, it is possible that the Earth's tilt could vary wildly. It would move from no tilt (which means no seasons) to a large tilt (which means extreme weather and even ice ages).

What If The Earth Was a Cube?

What if Earth was a donut?

The overall climate on donut Earth would be similar to what we currently have on our round Earth. It would be colder in the polar regions, and warmer at the equator. But the weather would be a little more extreme, and could even make some parts of the planet inhospitable, due to storms and hurricanes.

Who built Earth?

When the solar system settled into its current layout about 4.5 billion years ago, Earth formed when gravity pulled swirling gas and dust in to become the third planet from the Sun.

Can a donut shaped planet exist?

A donut planet, also known as a toroid planet, is a theoretical type of planet that resembles a donut, rather than a typical sphere. While a donut planet is extremely unlikely to naturally exist anywhere in the universe, it is actually possible for such a planet to exist.

Is there a square planet?

Why aren't there square planets? Planets are round because of its gravitational field. As a planet gets massive enough, internal heating takes over and the planet behaves like a fluid. Gravity then pulls all of the material towards the center of mass (or core).

What if the Earth was as big as the sun?

If our world was as big as the Sun, then, like the water, our soil would have to be spread out to cover a much larger space. Less soil would mean less food, while the demand for food would stay the same.

Are there non round planets?

While all the planets in our solar system are nice and round, some are rounder than others. Mercury and Venus are the roundest of all. They are nearly perfect spheres, like marbles. But some planets aren't quite so perfectly round.

Is the universe in a box?

The Universe Is Not in a Box.

What would the Earth look like if it was a cube?

So the edges of the Earth would be barren rock with no atmosphere, and the centre of each face would play host to giant oceans and a very thick atmosphere, each region potentially with its own distinct ecosystems. It would be a very different planet to our own.

When did God create the world?

On the fourth day, God created the sun, the moon and the stars. Water and sky animals were made on the fifth day, and on the sixth day, land animals and people were created. Many things have happened since the world was first created, including the entrance of sin into a perfect world.

How old is the world?

Earth is estimated to be 4.54 billion years old, plus or minus about 50 million years. Scientists have scoured the Earth searching for the oldest rocks to radiometrically date.

Is a ring planet possible?

It's unlikely to form on it's own during planet formation as that requires too much planetary angular momentum during formation. It's possible, but also unlikely to form by giant impact, as that's more likely to leave 1 planet and 1 moon.

What shapes can planets be?

Planets can actually be triangular, or square, or even pentagonal in shape in theory. And in principle they can also be donut shaped too, with a hole in the middle - a stable configuration though one that is easily disturbed so there probably aren't that many donut shaped planets in the universe :).

Is the Earth a hexagon?

Earth has a diameter of 12,742 kilometres (7,917.5 miles) - two Earths could fit inside the hexagon, with room to spare. It also rotates at roughly the same rate as the planet itself, indicating that the structure is tied to the planet's rotation, much like the polar front jet stream here on Earth.

What if the Moon was cheese?

A cheese Moon wouldn't pull on the oceans as strongly and so the Earth's rotation wouldn't have been slowed as much. Consequently the Moon wouldn't have receded from us as much either. Sitting closer to us, it would appear bigger in the sky and still deprive us from a perfect solar eclipse.

What happens if the sun dies?

Once all the helium disappears, the forces of gravity will take over, and the sun will shrink into a white dwarf. All the outer material will dissipate, leaving behind a planetary nebula. "When a star dies, it ejects a mass of gas and dust — known as its envelope — into space.
