Mmmm I can feel the radiation belts in my fillings just thinking about it

Both pictures are *taken* near large bodies of water, but no tides…
A job half done…

That would be sick.

Since Saturn has a mass 95 times that of earth, the first high tide would kill us all.

It’s cute until you see one rock coming at you

Something about big planets like Saturn scares me so much it’s unreal.

Technically Earth would be a moon in this case, right?
thebawheidedeejit on
Well, it would look that size, but there would be no life on earth.

Space is really big, fact… you can get every planet in the system side by side between the earth and the moon and still have a few thousand kilometres spare. Humbling

‘How it would look’ or ‘what it would look like’. Please don’t combine the two.

That’s be obnoxious.

Everyone else whining about science. Cool pictures bro.

Wouldn’t earth be a moon then? But if we are a moon, what will our moon then be? A moooon?

What about if Uranus were that close?

Wouldn’t look like that for long. A recent movie reminds me of such a thing.

Missing the hundred mile high sea bulge in the wake of Saturn’s gravity. Also the screaming people and crumbling buildings floating into the sky

Isn’t the theory that Saturns rings were formed by moons that got too close and were pulled apart by Saturns gravity?

I’m baffled that you could see the entire planet plus rings. Reminds you of how incredibly far the moon is from us already. We feel so close to our moon and yet it’s amazing how much space between there is.

Wouldn’t the dark side of Saturn in the 2nd pic be invisible? Like the new moon?
rcuadro on
If Saturn was as close to earth as the moon the Earth would actually be the moon.
Those tidal forces would be lit!

Either
How it would look
Or
What it would look like
Not how it would look like.

Wouldnt saturns albedo and size make the night side of the earth frikin bright? (until we all died)
Telzey on
I imagine that beach would be seeing some massive tides.
JoelMDM on
Earth would also be well within Saturn’s Roche limit at this distance, and would be pulled apart by tidal forced.
It sure would look stunning for the minutes before the surface was ripped away under your feet though.
CR_OneBoy on
Yeah, more like the earth would get assimilated by the gravity of Saturn
intronert on
Would we be inside its Roche Limit?
ZeEastWillRiseAgain on
There is no way to have saturn be darker than the surrounding sky like shown in the second picture unless it is inside the earths atmosphere which given it’s size is by all means not possibe

Saturn better get up out mah bizness

I like it. Let’s do it! Elon! CHOPSTICKS!

Not sure how the ocean would feel about this
YamiZee1 on
So what would happen if you tried to jump when Saturn was above? Would you get any extra inches off the ground?

The bottom image looks like the poster for the movie, Quiet Earth.

If we are not locked we would have a tsunami every 12 hours 😩

Hey that’s Liverpool !

It would be a shit ton (metric) bigger in the sky. Jus say’n.
AbsolutGleichgueltig on
See it once and die, since the gravity would pull Earth apart or at least into Saturn itself.

I still think it’s crazy that every major planet fits between Earth and the moon

if saturn were that close to the earth wouldn’t we all be dead?
