If earth looses its gravity what happens?

Question

What happens to human community?

Answer 1

We live in a biosphere and air, gravity, etc are key components, if any of its constituent parts were removed and not replaced, life on this planet would end.

Answer 2

this would not ensue. no longer under any circumstances. yet for the sake of argument, if it did ensue, the earth could proceed in a rapidly line and flow away the image voltaic device. because it have been given farther far flung from the solar, it may get chillier and in some years, (or what *used* to be years), each little thing could die. ultimately, the oceans could freeze and so could the ambience. This assumes the solar has lost its allure for the earth, only. If it had no gravity in any respect, it may enhance and diffuse by way of area. we are close adequate that it may probable fry the earth. difficult to tell which might get us first, the warmth of the slowly exploding solar, or the chilly of receding from it at 19 miles in line with 2nd. yet while the earth lost this is gravity particularly of the solar, disaster could be a lot swifter. the ambience and oceans could flow flying off, as could each merchandise on the exterior. life could end right here in a remember of seconds. And the moon? it may no longer orbit the earth, even regardless of the undeniable fact that it does no longer flow away the image voltaic device because it may stay in orbit around the solar. no remember if its orbit could be interior or exterior the earth's relies upon on the place this is in its orbit while the earth's gravity disappears.

Answer 3

Well...

The force of gravity is directly related to the earth's mass - it's actually the force that holds the planet together, stopping it being a dispersed cloud of particles in the universe; so for there to be no gravity, there would have to be no planet, and therefore no possibillity of human community.

Equally, in a situation where earth loses its gravity, that situation would have to involved the destruction of earth, which has obvious implications for human community...

Answer 4

The earth could only lose its gravity by losing its mass, which is impossible. But, if that could happen, there would be nothing to hold the earth together and also nothing to hold it in orbit round the sun. So the earth would move off in a straight line into space at a tangent to its current orbit and disintegrate into tiny pieces because of internal pressure. However, we wouldn't care very much as we would all be dead.

Answer 5

It can't lose its gravity. Although people refer to the force of gravity, gravity is not a force. It is a distortation of space exerted by the mass of a particular object. All objects distort space to a greater or lesser extent. If the Earth was to lose gravity then presumably it would have become smaller in some way in which case it would not be able to prevent humans drifting into space, or it would have exploded whith, I guess, much the same effect

Answer 6

The atmosphere would escape first, then everything that is not a peace of the solid earth would drift away into space, and slowly the rest of the solid earth will disintegrate and disperse.
Assuming the sun will maintain it's gravity then most of the material leaving earth will drift and fall into the sun.

Answer 7

The Earth would explode because of the immense pressures below the mantle not to mention everything flying of in a tangential direction at the time of gravity loss.

Answer 8

If earth looses its gravity it would mean judgment day for all human kind.

Answer 9

The force of the earth turning would send everything, including you and the atmosphere flying off into space. If you didn't die from being the force of being thrown into outer-space, then you'd soon suffocate anyway. Either way everything would become very dead, very fast.

Answer 10

If the earth lost its gravity, we'd all float off into space - so we'd all be dead, and nobody would care.
