I know Scientist know this already but what about this scenario.
A sun thats 1/4 bigger than are current sun would this enable a earth like planet to exist and be 1/4 bigger than our current earths mass? If space has a whole new set of laws in terms of physics what do we know of ideal conditions that allow uor planet to be what it is water etc.. Maybe another sun thats 1/2 times bigger wouldnt have the same heat or radioactive ouput as our sun?
Is it possible that their are mini planets with a tempature of 65 deg average like ours or vice versa giant earths with a very comfterable average temp? When it comes to science its pretty precise 30 deg and it can snow so what do we know of other solar systems and their suns because that seems to be the key in terms of the size of a planet that may be like ours.
My question in whole is this does the suns size and tempature output related to possible habitabal planets that are like Earth. Also does the sun size and output negate planets size. For example smaller suns smaller earths bigger suns bigger earth just father away to compensate vice versa for the smalller sun or weaker star in terms of heat or energy output cause maybe in space size doesnt matter! I the laws of physics on space is something we have no idea about yet.

On the day the LORD gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the LORD in the presence of Israel:

“Sun, stand still over Gibeon,
and you, moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.”
13 So the sun stood still,
and the moon stopped,
till the nation avenged itself on[a] its enemies,

as it is written in the Book of Jashar.

The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day. 14 There has never been a day like it before or since, a day when the LORD listened to a human being. Surely the LORD was fighting for Israel!

Thus the Church argued, the Bible is the literal word of God and in this word it says "the sun stood still", insinuating that the sun is in motion, Hence, the only model of the solar system that can be correct is one in which the sun is in motion. This contradicts heliocentrism, because in a heliocentric model the sun is motionless in the center of the universe and the planets revolve around it…and thus due to scripture is incorrect.

do you consider this example valuable when assessing contemporary controversies between science and religion such as the age of the earth or the theory of evolution

This is a hypothetical question that I’m doing research on for a science paper at school. I need as much details as possible… Let’s say that something caused Earth to eject out of the solar system, away from the Sun, away from the Moon, and roamed aimlessly out into deep space. What kind of effects and disasters would we see? How long would we survive and how would we go about surviving at all?

I know the most obvious fact is that the earth will become one huge Antarctica and we will all freeze to death. But what interests me is what leads up to this final point. Earthquakes? Mega tsunamis? Eternal night-time 24/7? How fast would things freeze up and how long before we all die?

I can’t seem to find much info on this particular topic anywhere. All I can find is info about possible rogue planets colliding with Earth.

i have a science project for 8th grade where i have to make a 3d model of the solar system:SUN,MERCURY,VENUS,EARTH,MARS,JUPITER,SATURN, URANUS,THE ASTEROID BELT, AND NEPTUNE. what materials can i use. i know i can make the sun in the middle and put the planets all scattered around it made of clay or styrofome, but waht can i use to loop them around in place and have them stay still? and where can i buy these materials?

THANKS ALL GOOD ANSWERS

The diagram illustrates an imaginary solar system involving two planets, Planet X and Planet Z. If the masses of Planet X and Planet Z are equal, the gravitational attraction between Star Alpha and Planet Z as compared to the gravitational attraction between Star Alpha and planet X is

1. 1/2 as great
2. 2 times as great
3. 1/16 as great
4. 1/4 as great

I have a feeling that even if God was dethroned by science, humans would inevitably seek something else like God to cling onto in order to fulfil a need for a spiritual grounding. I have three alternatives, none of which are meant to taken as gods that you worship since they don’t ask for worship anyway. None of these suggestions are faith-based

1. My personal belief that Mankind is already the gods. This is to say that Mankind is so sentient that there is an innate godlike potential. Three words: mind, willpower and action. If you take the ancient astronaut theory into account, technically I’m right. Other than that, I don’t need to tell you much else about seeing as I’ve talked a lot about it before. However this concept also focuses on the self-empowerment of Man.

2. The planet, or life-bearing planets, as god-like entities. Much like the Gaia hypothesis proposed by James Lovelock, life-bearing planets are technically gods, earth mothers or genderless entities that act automatically in support of itself, and consequentially any life on said planet. This involves balancing things out on a planet.

3. Existence as an omnipresent entity. Christians say God is eternal. Aristotle said the cosmos is eternal. Nothing really lasts forever, except existence. Existence is before and after the moment our universe got created. Existence is good and it is bad. It’s live life to the full as well as pick your poison. The Hindus believe in something like God called Brahman, which is basically an omnipresent spiritual entity. Based on both logics, maybe existence itself is a god-like presence that does not save nor condemn, intervenes nor stands back and does not require worship.

If you have other suggestions please do not hesitate to speak out.
@Screenager So are you saying that religion comes from a desire for hope and escape, but at the same time it’s the result of human arrogance?
