ok lets say a MOON-sized asteriod or comet or something came / toward earth ,but it missed it ,and got captured by
earths gravity and and started orbiting earth
*the moon rotates earth in a orbit like saturns ring ,well lets say the rock took a orbit like uranus ring
so wat will happen 2 earth
will we rotate in a different angle or something?

How enormous a 2d moon, and how would it not upward push up? assume an asteroid is presented in at such an orbit as to be trapped with the help of our gravity.on condition that asteroids are small, there will be mild result on our rotation, influencing the dimensions of our days slightly. yet when a brilliant merchandise, close to the dimensions of our modern-day moon got here in, it would want to impression tides and rotation adequate to impression volcanic pastime,with huge unfavorable outcomes to our climate. If this form of brilliant merchandise struck our moon, a good worse disaster would take position, with the prospect of result on earth's floor, ending our civilization.

Well, first of all, a whole lot of Astronomy books would have to be junked and new ones printed. Then we would have to spend gadzillions of dollars to be the first ones to set foot on it.
Then the government would have to print all kinds of new charts and maps, etc., plus change all the "Tide Tables."
Some months would have only a few days, and some would be 30 days long, as usual.
No deal on the rings, however. I don't buy that.
