What will the sky look like if the Moon is replaced?
In the solar system, the moon is one of the objects of a size that is considered to be quite large. If instead of orbiting the Earth, the Moon orbits the Sun, it will be considered one of Earth's brother planets.
In fact, the Moon's rotation around the Sun is almost perfect, the Earth's gravitational force only makes the rotation a little shifted, however, the Moon is still mainly orbiting the Earth. It is only regarded as one of our satellites. The size of the Moon is one-fourth the size of the Earth and even larger than Pluto (once considered the 9th planet in the Solar System).
Although considered a large object in the solar system, but with a distance of 384,400km from Earth to the Moon, in our night sky, the Moon looks extremely small. Even on the most recent Moon days, the Super Moon phenomenon occurs, from the human eyes, the Moon is still small, far from its large image in movies. The coincidence has made the Moon and the Sun the same size as seen from the Earth and this has given us the opportunity to admire the total solar eclipses (although there is a distance of the Moon). homogeneous compared to the Earth, at a near distance, so it is not always a solar eclipse.
The filmmakers with rich imagination have created a giant Moon image in their work and indeed the scenes with such a Super Moon background have always made a strong impression in the hearts of viewers. . However, these images are completely unrealistic, we will never see the Moon with the size of the movie. Or suppose one day the Moon is approaching us, enough to create a majestic setting on Earth, it will certainly cause terrible changes to our living environment.
However, imagination has no limits and cannot be banned. So let's try to use our imagination to create exotic, beautiful scenes in the sky of the Earth. Imagine other planets replacing the position of the Moon to become a natural satellite in the sky of Earth.
Let's ignore how the gravity of the planets will affect us. Imagine that we can put Mars in the position of the Moon. Mars is about twice the size of the Moon, and in our view, Mars will be twice as big as the Moon. The details that we have observed on Mars through the telescope can now be seen clearly with the naked eye. Even the times on Mars are frozen, passing through the seasons can also be seen from the Earth. Sandstorms on Mars can also be observed with the naked eye. Perhaps it should not be forgotten that instead of the Moon's silvery white, we will enjoy red reflecting light from Mars.

Venus is 3.5 times larger than the Moon. The image of the Star of the Divine Guard for us when it is in the Moon position is probably the same as the image of the Earth for astronauts looking at the Earth from the Moon. Ignore the changes on Venus if you bring it near us. We will be able to observe swirling clouds, bright ivory. Venus actually reflects light six times better than our Moon, if replacing the Moon with Venus, the Earth's night sky will be as bright as day.

Uranus and Neptune with nearly equal sizes will give us almost identical scenes when they become Earth's satellites. The size of these planets is about 14 times that of the Moon, we can see giant blue spheres in the sky every night. Imagine the occurrence of eclipses, every time the Sun disappears behind this moon, the Earth will be dark for more than 90 minutes.
Neptune - Neptune.
Uranus - Uranus.
Saturn will probably be our most beautiful satellite. Measuring about 35 times the moon, Saturn will occupy a large space in the sky. Compared to Saturn's Dione satellite, Earth may be further away if Saturn is placed in the Moon's place. Of course, with a planet the size of Saturn, our Earth will look very much like its satellite. The special feature of Saturn is the circle around this planet, the circle created by meteorite debris will go very close to the Earth if Saturn really becomes our moon.

However, the size of Saturn is still nothing compared to Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system. Jupiter is about 40 times the size of the Moon with clouds, the giant storm eyes on its body will be extremely majestic scenery that can be observed with the naked eye from Earth. In fact, with this gigantic size, perhaps the Earth will become more like Jupiter's Io satellite. On our planet will then be full of volcanoes, every centimeter in the Earth's atmosphere will suffer enormous traction . it will completely change our planet.

As mentioned at the beginning of the article, the articles in the article are just images created from our imagination. If indeed the Moon today is swapped with our brotherly planets in the solar system, perhaps humans will not be able to survive. Have you ever regretted because the Moon is not as beautiful and bright as the movies you usually watch? Perhaps you should thank nature for not giving us such a huge moon, it can be very beautiful, however, its impact on us is definitely not interesting.
