What if the Earth 🌏were twice as big?
Here are a couple of points that might happen.
1. Gravity will be really different. Meaning it will be hard to walk🏃and ur weight will be twice as much. And since your spinal cord will be affected by more gravity you will actually lose height.
But as much as the gravity has increased it will not be enough to actually attract the moon 🌙In order for that to happen the moon has to be within the Earth's 🌏Roche limit, which is the minimum distance the moon 🌙can approach the Earth 🌏 with out losing control. And if the moon 🌙 goes beyond Roche's limit. The Earth 🌏will tear the moon 🌙apart and giving us a rocky ring just like Saturn's
2. The Earth 🌏will heat up 🔥See there would be more unstable elements in the crust and interior so there will be much more volcanos. 🌋
3. Plants 🌱will not grow as much. See there's a limit for how tall a tree should grow. Usually it's 120 meters or so. And this is affected by gravity. Since the taller the tree 🌴is the more energy is required from the root to the top. If the amount of energy the plant gets from photosynthesis ☀️is more than the energy used to transport the water, it will grow. But if not it won't.
