The dark side of the earth which is fully frozen, probably still warmer than canada lol

[@tacwedie9898]

Hey Anton, I know it has already been 5 years but you made Earth tidally locked when it was Summer in the northern hemisphere and winter in the south, I guess that affected the temperatures a lot.

[@kylebrown7968]

Soon, Anton, you will hit your mil. I believe it.

[@raofakhar8411]

love your videos anton

[@raofakhar8411]

can air circulate temperature to the dark side Anton?

[@Skurt44]

Rao Fakhar As he said, the twilight zone would be the only habitable part because of the heat differential. But to answer your question, yes, but not a lot. Since heat rises, the hot air would rise to the jet stream on the light side where it would be carried to the dark side, and then likely be thrown down again on the dark side. However, the water and soil would mostly absorb the heat and the rest of the air would be trapped lower down due to the greenhouse effect.

[@SCHenry1998]

hey Anton try to combine all the dwarf planets with there moons and see if it's big enough to be a planet and terraform it

[@blaize6898]

G0lden Megaman good idea

This would be fun to find out.

Zajebiście

[@giovanakitsune606]

how's that even possible!? Even the slightest difference on the moon's rotation should "unsync" with earth and eventually show it's dark side overtime. I don't underestand how this is so precise. please someone explain

[@apeoplesperson]

does this take the moon into account. ie ocean tides and currents

@anton petrov can a tidally locked planet have moon, or would it just line up eclipsing and stop revolving around it's host planet?

[@robertthompson9109]

If the Earth'srotation slowed down that much, most of the magnetic field would also be gone. Bye bye atmosphere, hello radiation.

[@SldOnEmWithDa45]

This might be stupid of me to say this, but why does this happen? When its night the planet doesn't freeze over and in the daylight we don't get scorched. So how does a constant rotation make all the difference?

[@davidfishwick5573]

Because the constant rotation of the Earth ensures that (with the exception of the polar regions) no area remains in light or darkness for very long and this helps to even out the temperature.

[@martinmilenkov3332]

If a planet further away from the sun (like the distance of Jupiter to Sun) which is tidally and has a very powerful greenhouse effect and high albedo which keeps it warm enough for life could life live exist anywhere there?

[@shubham-lu4uy]

Which soft is that?

[@bahadrozturk2086]

where are from anton

[@dominiquenotyourbusiness5836]

wouldn't the marine life explode if (2nd simulation) such a vast area of the ocean got heated in such a way? And also would our atmosphere become devoid of oxygen?

[@Furebel]

Is Uranus considered tidally locked?

[@dochdaswars]

Uranus sideways, yo

[@linecraftman3907]

omg i literally thought about this before i went to sleep

[@pineapplewhatever5906]

What's with the zigzaggy ice?

[@katedevils5648]

Wouldn't all that ice have to come from somewhere? Would more land be made available on the hot side? Would all that ice on one side of the planet detestablize anything? Would the temper difference along that twilight zone cause frequent storms?

[@jacklodge8560]

2:01 Pluto and Charon both orbit a Barycentre, it's kind of like a binary system

[@AaronDeanHenderson]

i wouldn't want to live on a tidally locked planet... if you are in the "twilight zone" you have daylight for 6 months and night for 6 months, not to mention the temperature fluctuations... maybe by that time our technology has advanced to the point where we can create our own underground cities with their own source of light/dark as well as atmosphere/temperature regulations...

[@frisianmouve]

No, if you're in the twilight zone the sun would just be hanging there always at almost the same position just above the horizon and temperature stays pretty constant. I'd be more worried about the eternal storm there, as hot air from the close side races towards the cold side in the upper atmosphere and cold air races back in the lower atmosphere. An eternal cold storm doesn't sound too inviting to me.

[@user-pl3lo8cc8y]

would be nice to pause the earth graphic occasionally..

[@brianmchugh7679]

A better question would be, what if the Earth was tidally locked to the Moon... cos the Earths rotation is being slowed by the Moons gravity and provided there was enough time, the earth would slow to a rotation of the Moons orbit of Earth.

[@dianegordon6688]

What will happen if all the planets in the souler sistem was the same as earth and the rotation and life

[@T1hitsTheHighestNote]

Had no idea tidal locks were so common in the known universe. Makes you reflect even more about the unlikliness of life beninning on Earth, and the chance of finding life on other planets. How do we know these exoplanets are tl? What is the mechanism making them so?

[@TJ_Low]

I'm not a scientist, nor am I well versed in astrophysics, but I think it has something to do with mass distribution in the stellar objects makeup. If heavier silicates(probably wrong choice of words) are more gathered on one side of the planet, that'll be the side facing the orbital parent.

[@davidfishwick5573]

Tidal locking to a star is determined primarily by distance to that star. The closer the planet to the star, the more quickly it will tidally lock (though other factors can prevent tidal locking). Most of the planets found to date so far are much nearer their star than the earth is to the sun (many are further in than mercury), therefore due to this we can assume that they are much more likely to be tidally locked as they are much closer to their star.

[@TheDutchMusician]

My question is why is t earth tidal locked how is it spinning?

[@trevorjimmy8586]

When a celestial body is tidally locked, its rotation is dependant on its orbit. It makes one full rotation(or full day) when it makes a complete orbit.

[@Dracopol]

"What if the Earth WERE tidally locked?" (implied subjunctive tense, supposition)

[@jannastevens4086]

if you make black hole in Australia you would have correct vision to observe with..I have Hazel iris. os.

[@arte0021]

so in real life Antarctica is the only continent where humans dont live , but on a tidally locked earth it would be the only continent where humans do live

[@TJ_Low]

I think temperatures would fluctuate too much near the poles to be livable. Half the year in light, half the year in darkness, that kind of thing.

[@rockstaraz6576]

We need to find Planets with a Moon large enough to stabilize it's Orbit . You do as stated above then you'll find Planets with Intelligent Life. Untill then it a Blast to Explore the Possibility of Life, Intelligent Life is just around the corner.

[@Furebel]

How to warm frozen planet? Smash it with another planet!

[@richardmarsh2317]

Although 90% of stars are smaller and cooler than the Sun, the number of red dwarfs is around 75%. There are probably many stars that are cooler than the Sun where a habitable planet would still have a day/night cycle. If the Earth's rotation slowed to the point that it was tidally locked, the oceans and atmosphere would be nearly spherical, while the more rigid land and rocks would require millions of years to adjust to this change. The land areas would change because of this. There would be a huge tropical continent girdling Earth, but most of Canada, Europe, Russia, and all of Antarctica would be submerged. The magnetic field would be gone, and I don't think Earth would be habitable, at least not for humans. I think it's possible that the daytime side would have increased evaporation resulting in thick rain clouds that would cool the day side of Earth. The night side would still be frozen, but that may not be the case for a tidally locked exoplanet with a thicker atmosphere. Great video! 👍

why ignore the notion of being tidally locked to the moon instead of sun? after discussion of pluto and charon most people would think of that

what if it was tidally locked with the moon

[@alfredlim2731]

Just curious why Earth is not tidally locked with the Sun by now? whereas the moon has been tidal locked by the Earth....

[@davidfishwick5573]

Because the Earth is too far away from the Sun. Given enough time it would tidally lock to the sun eventually, but it will take longer than the age of the solar system to do so.

[@TmanTyler619]

Remake the binary system from starwars and put it in sandbox please

[@tomcan48]

Hi Anton, just for consideration. For argument sake, assume we are now humans that has recently successfully graduated to a Class II civilisation. We are tired of space travel and now want to live the simple live on the earth that we left. The problem is that the earth is in a very sad state. It has since lost its magnetic field due to the core no longer flowing millions of years ago. It is uninhabitable and the beautiful blue oceans have also evaporated into space. Upon our return from space travel, we are also aghast to learn that the moon no longer circulating around earth but left the solar system for some unknown reason. We now need to begin the task of constructing material within our solar system, or beyond to repair the earth back to its normal state that we read in our history "books" Where do we start and what needs to be done to rebuild the earth back to its former glory and capable of supporting humans coming back from space? Also there seems to be a larger issue with the Sun. It has been expanding and has consumed Mercury and Venus and is currently super heating the earth remnant. I would like to see a simulation, or series of simulations, depicting this problem and what could be done, for acquiring material, creation or capture of the old moon and returning it to orbit as well as to modify the Sun to return it from a Redish star back to what we see today. If it necessary to be a Type III to do so, so be it, that the earth may return to that former glory.

[@roastymemes9564]

the sim is unrealistic

[@bennichols561]

When. It will happen so its not an if.

[@meatmeep3462]

Okay, but here is the thing. This is wrong. There have been studies published a while ago now that prove that the twilight zone would be more lobster shaped, based on purely ocean currents carrying heat to the dark side of the planet. Add in the atmosphere and tidal heating, and the habitable zone on the planet is much larger than people seem to think (or any KZbinr so far says). The majority of planets are tidally locked, and many of them are considered habitable. You also messed up the seasons. Good stuff though.

you know that the moon was locked over one spot over the earth, to create the ice age. You can see the lunar surface pattern in the polar votex.

[@J-Rat871]

And also whenever you said there's not much planets that are like Earth you know that we haven't took any pictures of Proxima B so we have no idea if the side is scorched these images that we have our artist depictions based off of its orbital path and suspected atmosphere which means you're basically a liar because you don't have any facts which also makes you sound like you don't like human expansion to the Stars and I don't like people who do that
