Can a smaller moon help earth survive?

Question

How to make moon smaller in size?

If we wither off the top most layers of moon will moon become any better ( with respect to radiations and high tides) and more compatible to earth?

Comments

It is not possible to physically make the moon smaller. Removing its outer layers would not significantly affect its impact on Earth's tides or radiation levels.

Give me an example of matter - Element in this case - which cannot be made smaller at all?

Answer 1

The most immediate effects of a post-Moon world would be small. ... with the tides that will give their offspring the best possible chance of survival.

Answer 2

No, removing the outermost layers of the moon wouldn't improve its resistance to radiation and high tides or improve its compatibility with Earth. The lack of an atmosphere and magnetic fields on the moon, which cannot be altered by peeling back layers off the moon, are mostly to blame for its radiation environment. Similar to this, removing layers from the moon would have no impact on the relationship that the Earth's gravitational pull causes the moon's tides.

You mean to say if a strong magnet pulls an Iron 1 inch ball or iron 1000 inches balls- in either cases - the magnet spends same amount of energy?

If a crane lifts 1 Kg or 1000 Kg the work done or fuel used remains same.

How can it be possible?

---

The amount of energy expended by a magnet to attract an iron ball depends on the strength of the magnetic field and the distance between the magnet and the ball. If the magnet is the same strength and distance from the 1-inch iron ball and the 1000-inch iron ball, then it would spend the same amount of energy to attract both balls.

However, if the magnet is closer to the 1-inch iron ball than the 1000-inch iron ball, then it would spend less energy to attract the smaller ball because the force of the magnetic field decreases with distance. Conversely, if the magnet is further away from the 1-inch iron ball than the 1000-inch iron ball, then it would spend more energy to attract the smaller ball because it would need to overcome the force of the magnetic field over a longer distance.

In summary, the energy expended by a magnet to attract an iron ball depends on the strength of the magnetic field and the distance between the magnet and the ball. If these factors are the same for both a 1-inch iron ball and a 1000-inch iron ball, then the magnet would spend the same amount of energy to attract both.

If this is same why do we need huge magnets, we have an option of bringing the iron just closer? 

Answer 3

A smaller moon can't directly help Earth survive, but it can have some effects on our planet's environment, such as affecting tides and axial tilt.

Can it also impact 

Hurricanes

Tornadoes 

Earthquakes below sea therefore earthquakes on land 

High tides 

Tsunamis etc 

Then why can’t it impact earth?

Answer 4

It is not possible for us humans to physically make the moon smaller in size. The moon's size is determined by it's mass and gravity, which cannot be altered by human activity.

Removing the topmost layers of the moon would not make it more compatible with Earth, nor would it have any significant impact on radiation levels or tides. The moon's gravitational pull is what causes tides on Earth, and its position and distance from the Earth are what determines the strength of those tides. Further, the moon does not emit radiation of its own. Instead, it reflects radiation from the sun, and any changes in the moon's surface would not significantly affect the amount of radiation reaching Earth.

Therefore, altering the moon's size or removing layers would not be a feasible solution to any perceived problems with the moon's impact on Earth.

Answer 5

The moon makes earth more liveable planet leading to a relatively stable climate. Without full mass moon to hold us steady, life on earth might experience greater seasonal fluctuations. Outlook for life would be dim, as smaller moon means less scattered sunlight at night.  

Answer 6

The moon and earth are both important for us and themselves to survive.God calculated and placed them mydteriously.the use of moon is vital to human for seasons.If there are no seasons life probably ends.when the moon nears the earth,the ocean will be pulled by the moon and tidal effect occur.

Answer 7

Hell No. The Earth will loose it's stability due to change in gravitational forces, our planet will wobble, there might be extreme weather pattern and the moon as of right now helps protecting Earth from asteroids and comets by attracting towards itself, a smaller moon will definitely have a catastrophic impact

Answer 8

The moon influences life as we know it on Earth. It influences our oceans, weather, and the hours in our days. Without the moon, tides would fall, nights would be darker, seasons would change, and the length of our days would alter.

Answer 9

The lack of an atmosphere and magnetic fields on the moon, which cannot be altered by peeling back layers off the moon, are mostly to blame for its radiation environment. Similar to this, removing layers from the moon 

Answer 10

The size of the Moon cannot be changed by simply removing its top layers. The Moon's size is determined by its mass and cannot be altered without significantly changing its composition or impacting it with a massive object. The Moon's size does not have a significant impact on radiation levels or tides on Earth.

Answer 11

it is not possible for us to make the moon smaller in size. The moon's size is determined by its mass and the gravitational pull it exerts on objects around it, including the Earth. Withering off the topmost layers of the moon would not significantly change its size or its relationship with the earth. 

The moons size and distance from earth play important roles in regulating our planets tides and stabilizing its rotation. altering the moon size could have significant and unpredictable effects on these factors, which could have negative consequences for life on earth

Answer 12

It is not possible to make the moon smaller in size. Even if it were possible, it is unlikely that it would have any significant effect on the Earth. The moon does have an effect on the Earth, as it affects the tides and the amount of radiation that reaches the Earth's surface. However, these effects are relatively minor, and the Earth would still be able to survive without the moon.

Answer 13

The lack of an atmosphere and magnetic fields on the moon, which cannot be altered by peeling back layers off the moon, are mostly to blame for its radiation environment. Similar to this, removing layers from the moon would have no impact on the relationship that the Earth's gravitational pull causes the moon's tides.

See it is material that forms material. Nothing originates from nothing. Radiation is from a source not by the lack of atmosphere or magnetic field at least. Something present can cause something like radiation. Nothing present cannot create so many radiations from moon.
