[QUOTE="BlackSilver, post: 2332909, member: 22250"] There was a show on Discovery about the moon's effect on the Earth and how once it leaves it will total screw up the planets tilt and how that will pretty much kill all life on Earth. Can't recall the name of the show. Little experiment you maybe could try- take a ball put two opposing points on it, put a weight attached to a string to one of those points and place the ball into a pool then swiral the water around the ball. Change the length of the weight on the ball to give it less stablity, and more weight to show greater stability. Swiral further from the ball to show the effects of a larger radius orbit and closer to show a shorter radius. Its kinda of just an observation thing I suppose, but if you could do it, it might help you to see what your looking for. Oh, and remember the core of the planet could effect the orbit. Our moon has no or very little iron core, but if it did I wonder what it would do? Emm- interesting thought. Oh, last thing- I saw a National Geographic program at Costco today it was called- Red.... ah, crap I forgot the title, Red something. If you can find it that could help you out. [/QUOTE]
