peer generated question
How, if at all, is the Earth affected by the universe expanding?
There are theories that include that the earth is expanding along with the universe or some theories think the earth is actually contracting, but none of these have been proven. They claim the continents drifting apart shows that the earth is expanding but there are no concrete facts to back that up. So what scientists can tell so far is that the universe is expanding but earth is neither expanding nor contracting it is remaining the same and nothing is really happening or affecting the earth that goes along with the expanding universe.
The earth will not expand due to the universe expanding, it will actually hardly have an impact on it if any at all. Yes it may drift apart from other galaxies and planets but in no way shape or form has it been proven to expand, most people believe it would be impossible for the earth to expand
The earth is not directly affected by the universe expanding but it will separate farther away from other planets as we saw with the chair/room experiment.
The Earth is affected by the universe's expansion because the galaxy that contains the Solar System is moving farther and farther away from neighboring galaxies.
If the earth were to expand that wouldnt happen in the first place because that means if we were to do that our revolution process around the sun will be effected. Also if the universe is expanding its not getting bigger the galaxies and stars are getting bigger but planets are the same.
The earth is millions atoms that come together. The dark matters, and matters in atoms will help the earth to do not loose its shape, so expending of universe is important for the earth
Scientists agree that the expanding of the universe has little to no effect on our solar system in our life time, but there is speculation about how it could effect us in the distant future. Some say that it will cause the energy that is inside of our solar system to be transferred to the outside of our solar system, which could eventually lead to the overall temperature of our solar system going down, and eventual freezing of earth.
The expansion of the universe doesn't actually affect the spaces between particles. The universe's expansion is not a force that will rip particles, molecules or even objects apart. The 'fabric of space' is not stretching - just the distances between really large things like galaxies. So while the distance between the milky way and its nearest neighbor may increase over the next billion years, the distance between the proton and neutron in a deuterium atom's nucleus will not.
The earth is not directly effected by the expansion of the universe. There is another theory saying we might run in to another galaxy which might cause an explosion which can end the world
The Earth is not affected too much by the expansion of the universe, because the force only exerts an immeasurably small force on our planet.

The Earth will barely be affected by the universe. At best, even if a significant amount of expansion occurs, the force that is expanding the universe will be minuscule in comparison to the amount of force that is holding our solar system together. The only consequence is the fact that any neighboring galaxies will be propelled away from us.

How, if at all, is the Earth affected by the universe expanding? The earth and milky way galaxy are not affected by the expanding or are only affected by a small degree that we would never notice. The universe will eventually drift so far apart that everything will freeze over and all life will die. The question is will that affect the earth or will our sun already have engulfed our earth by then?(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Crunch)
The expansion of the universe doesn't really affect us because it doesn't mean we are getting bigger, it means that the space between us and other galaxies is getting larger, or stretching. Therefore, it doesn't have a significant affect on us.

From what I found, I think the expansion of the universe mostly affects the positions of the galaxies more than the earth. The orbit of the solar system will not be affected as much, the earths orbit will barely be modified due to expansion.http://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/12625/how-does-hubbles-constant-affect-the-earths-orbit
Overtime, due to the expansion of the universe, the earth and all the planets in our solar system will be pulled away from the sun. The sun is the only reason the earth is able to support life. Considering this fact, scientists conclude that as the earth grows farther and farther from the sun, life on earth will die. This theory, the snowball earth theory, states the earth will freeze over as it moves away from the sun, thus killing all life on our planet.

The expansion of the universe has no immediate affect on the Earth or on other planets, galaxies, and stars. The expansion increases the distance between objects with matter, not the distance of the molecules that make up the object. The force keeps the molecules together within their space. However, the molecules does decrease in density as the universe expands and accelerates, and the chances of molecules that were separated to come together again will decreases as well, but for it to have any major effect would take many billions of years.

The Earth is being affected but the expansion of the universe, because as the universe begins to expand more, the average density of matter in the universe will begin to decrease. At the beginning of the universe all matter was kept at one point, but as the universe is expanding, the more matter is beginning to expand also.
the universe is expanding (space is stretching),it would make sense that the spaces between particles are getting bigger. If this is so, then the particles which make up atoms are also affected.

The expansion of the universe itself does not directly influence us or earth because the things that are close enough to actually affect anything we experience are held together by the enormous gravitational pull that keeps everything in our galaxy close together (most likely a black hole). The only things that are far away enough to not be affected by the same gravitational pull as us, yet bright enough to see would be clusters of galaxies light years away, clusters that don't directly affect us.
The earth is not affected in an immediate way by the constant expanding universe due to the gravity that holds our solar system together. This prevents expansion in our solar system but the earth will continue to shrink on a universal scale as the universe continues to expand.

No, the earth is not affected by the universe expanding. Due to the gravity that holds our solar system together the never ending expansion of the universe does not directly affect earth.
Galaxies are moving away from the earth at increasing speeds which would affect ability to travel to other galaxies if that is possible, but the Milky Way is set in its size as far as we know and gravity holds our galaxy together. That is to say, while the universe is stretching, the Milky Way is not itself spreading apart but rather accelerating away from other galaxies.

Well, most scientists would say that if there is any effect on the earth, it could have devastating consequences.

DeleteThe Earth will barely be affected by the universe. At best, even if a significant amount of expansion occurs, the force that is expanding the universe will be minuscule in comparison to the amount of force that is holding our solar system together. The only consequence is the fact that any neighboring galaxies will be propelled away from us.

ReplyDeleteThe earth and milky way galaxy are not affected by the expanding or are only affected by a small degree that we would never notice. The universe will eventually drift so far apart that everything will freeze over and all life will die.

The expansion of the universe doesn't really affect us because it doesn't mean we are getting bigger, it means that the space between us and other galaxies is getting larger, or stretching. Therefore, it doesn't have a significant affect on us.

The expansion of the universe has no immediate affect on the Earth or on other planets, galaxies, and stars. The expansion increases the distance between objects with matter, not the distance of the molecules that make up the object. The force keeps the molecules together within their space. However, the molecules does decrease in density as the universe expands and accelerates, and the chances of molecules that were separated to come together again will decreases as well, but for it to have any major effect would take many billions of years.

The universe's expansion is not a force that will rip particles, molecules or even objects apart. The 'fabric of space' is not stretching - just the distances between really large things like galaxies.

The Earth is being affected but the expansion of the universe, because as the universe begins to expand more, the average density of matter in the universe will begin to decrease. At the beginning of the universe all matter was kept at one point, but as the universe is expanding, the more matter is beginning to expand also.

The expansion of the universe itself does not directly influence us or earth because the things that are close enough to actually affect anything we experience are held together by the enormous gravitational pull that keeps everything in our galaxy close together (most likely a black hole).
