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.

What if we shot a gun in space?
Guns can shoot in space, and this allows for all kinds of absurd scenarios. If you're in the vacuum between galaxies, pulling the trigger will send you and your bullet careening through space literally forever. If you shoot a gun in the solar system, your bullet will get sucked toward the sun or one of the giant planets. And if you shoot a gun toward the horizon while standing on a mountain on the moon, you could theoretically shoot yourself in the back

What if the sun ☀️was half as big?
1. The sun's ☀️temperature, color and diameter are determined by its mass. Bigger stars ✨are hotter 🔥and bluer than the whitish-yellow sun, while smaller stars are cooler and redder.
2. The sun ☀️would be what we call a "Red Dwarf" And the habitable zone might be is debatable. Smaller stars ✨produce more frequent blasts of radiation 💥called flares, which would bombard close-in planets.
3. The habitable zone would shift closer to the star; if the Earth 🌏 orbited at the same distance, our water 💦would freeze ❄️solid.

What if all toilets 🚽were flushed simultaneously?
If we coordinated the simultaneous flushing of all toilets 🚽 in the world 🌎 , there would likely be pipe explosions💥in some places caused by a shortage of water 💦for refilling all the bowls (and thus, air entering the pipes, causing pressure changes). But for the most part, crisis would be averted by a technicality: Each toilet is located a different distance away from the main sewage line, so simultaneous flushes are actually staggered when it comes to delivering their water 💦 to the main. Rather than a peak in sewage flow, the system would receive a smooth curve of commode contributions.

What if the sun ☀️was smaller than the Earth 🌏?
1. If, hypothetically, the Sun ☀️was smaller than the Earth 🌏, our solar system would look completely different. The bad news is, the Earth 🌏would be uninhabitable, and the Sun ☀️… well, this massive star ⭐️may no longer be a star ⭐️
2. Since the Sun ☀️is the source of gravity that keeps us in orbit, all planets, the Earth 🌏included, would float away into space in search of another anchor.

What if the world 🌎 lost oxygen for 5 seconds?
1. In just 5 seconds, the Earth 🌏would look completely different. Without oxygen, you can say goodbye👋🏾 to the Hoover Dam, the Pantheon Dome and anything else made out of concrete. These structures would instantly collapse.
Oxygen acts as a special binding agent to concrete. Without it, concrete is just dust.
2. Speaking of buildings, any untreated metal would be instantly be fused together. This is because there’s a layer of oxidation on metals that prevents them from welding together. Without that layer, metals would instantly bind to each other.
3. If you happen to be relaxing at the beach 🌊 at the time expect a severe sunburn. The ozone layer, our protection against the sun’s UV rays, is made of oxygen. Three oxygen atoms that have bonded to create ozone. Take away the oxygen, and the Earth 🌏would get extremely hot 🔥.There would nothing protecting us from the sun’s UV rays.
4. In addition to a sunburn, our inner ear would explode. Losing oxygen means losing 21% of our air pressure. A change in air pressure that drastic is equivalent to being at sea 🌊level and dropping down 2000 meters instantly. Our ears 👂wouldn’t have enough time to adapt.
5. Having a good time yet? Well, don’t expect it to last long. Without oxygen, there’s no fire – the combustion 🔥process in vehicles won’t be able to occur. Any mode of transport 🚕 that isn’t electric will automatically fail. Planes ✈️ will fall from the sky, and millions of cars 🚗 will be stopped in their tracks.
6. The sky would be completely dark. Before it hits the earth 🌏, light from the sun ☀️bounces off multiple particles in the air. Without oxygen in the atmosphere, there are less things to bounce off, and the sky will appear dark… almost black.
7. Oh yeah, and while all this is happening, the Earth’s 🌏crust would completely crumble. That’s because Earth’s 🌏crust is made up of 45% oxygen. Without oxygen involved in the surface there wouldn’t be much left. The crust would crumble, and continue to crumble until there’s nothing left, sending you and everyone on the planet into a free-fall.
