What happens if the Earth is square?

This will be what will happen if the Earth is square.

Every planet has a circle. But have you ever wondered why?

Look at the past people 4.5 billion years ago. A cloud of dust and gas called a collapsing nebula forms a hot star. Through gravity, it attracts all the surrounding material and forms a large disk around the center.

After many collisions, the matter that orbits the young sun eventually becomes gigantic bodies, with gravity in the center very strong. They form planets. Inside each planet, gravity draws all matter into the mind. This explains the planet's spherical form.

On Earth squares, we will hardly stand upright.

Since the Earth we live in is a sphere, its gravity attraction is the same everywhere on the surface, which means as long as you are on a flat surface, you will stand upright and tall. But what do you think will happen if you deflect gravity distribution? Do you want to live on the edge of the Earth? Please choose one side. Now the Earth has 6 faces, but there is no interesting side.

That's because wherever you go, you will feel like you are climbing a steep hill. On Earth square, the most powerful gravity is at the center of each face , so the farther away you are from the center, the more you can feel its attraction. You will hardly be able to feel upright.

The scenery along the edge of the Earth will be barren and deserted, as all the water flows to the center of each face. The atmosphere along the edges and corners of the Earth will be too thin to support life or non-existence. We will talk about that later.

The new climate will depend on how Earth turns. If our square planet rotates through its square sides, the climate will be similar to the present Earth but more extreme.

The face at the top and bottom will be the polar region, the other four sides will have an equatorial climate. However, if the Earth orbits the axis through corners, each face will have a mild climate. You may not experience extreme rainfall and temperature. That also means you have to break up the wonderful world at the equator.

The good side is that you can step into space. Since our atmosphere is held by gravity and gravity is now sucked from the center of each face on Earth, the atmosphere will be thicker where gravity is strongest and thinner on the edge.

In addition, if the square Earth has the same volume as the current Earth, its sharp corners will strike the atmosphere. These areas will not be protected so they cannot live.
