imagine looking up into the night sky and seeing not one but NUMBER_TOKEN different moons beaming back at you what would this new sky look like how would it affect the earth's tides and how soon would this beautiful sight bring disaster this is what if and here's what would happen if earth had jupiter's NUMBER_TOKEN moons jupiter is the biggest planet in our solar system with NUMBER_TOKEN moons it falls just behind saturn's moon count of NUMBER_TOKEN and these moons come in different sizes the teeny tiny s NUMBER_TOKEN jNUMBER_TOKEN is two kilometers wide while the massive ganymede is one and a half times the size of our moon jupiter's enormous gravitational pull is to blame for keeping so many moons in its orbit at NUMBER_TOKEN million kilometers from the sun it's not losing any moons in a gravitational tug of war now imagine all those moons moved to earth with so many cluttered objects in our orbit would they all collide and rain debris down on earth with NUMBER_TOKEN more moons the night sky would look busier but since most of the new moons in our orbit would be less than NUMBER_TOKEN kilometers wide they'd appear more like bright stars at first glance but you'd also have the awesome view of four giant moons beaming right back at you those would be io europa ganymede and callisto of these europa would be the moon that looks the most familiar it's about NUMBER_TOKEN percent the size of our moon but there would be at least one big difference europa is covered in ice well that means it would reflect about five and a half times more sunlight than our moon you'd be wise to wear sunglasses if you wanted to admire it even at night the most dramatic effects of having jupiter's moons would come from ganymede while it may be only one and a half times the size of our moon it has double its mass with more of its own gravitational pull it would have a significant impact on our tides yeah get ready for massive tsunamis extreme earthquakes and more volcanic activity earth's tides would be higher too coastal cities would be flooded and abandoned in the united states where NUMBER_TOKEN percent of the population lives near the coast NUMBER_TOKEN million people would be displaced and so would billions more around the world ganymede's gravitational pull could even be strong enough that the earth would become tidally locked to it this would mean that one side of the planet would always be facing this moon now this would be good news if you were on that side of the planet hopefully you made some investments in hotel property with a good view of ganymede moon tourism would be about to boom and if you're going to be writing copy for your new hotel listing you're going to need grammarly premium grammarly premium removes repeated words and expands the vocabulary in your writing and with their seamless integration between microsoft office my browser and my phone i can work from anywhere on any device the brochure said there was coffee included make your writing exciting and clear no matter if you're sending an email or marketing your new bed and breakfast sign up now and get twenty percent off at URL_TOKEN slash what if that's twenty percent off at g r a m a r d what if hey man you need to clean the jacuzzi i don't have it oh my bathtub you'd also notice that earth's
