When will the Moon fly away from Earth?

We are so familiar that the Moon is a satellite of the Earth. But is it always like this? Gennadi Raikunov, General Director of the Russian Aircraft Manufacturing Institute, said that sooner or later 'Sister Hang' would leave the Earth's orbit to become an independent planet. And then, Earth will turn into a desert desert.

Raikunov believed that the Moon could repeat the fate of Mercury, as the hypotheses once said: Mercury was the moon of Venus but separated into a separate planet. After that, Venus's condition is no longer favorable for life, although the planet is like the Earth.

The time will come when the Moon will leave Earth. Artwork

During the aircraft exhibition at Bourger (France), the Director General of the Russian Aircraft Manufacturing Institute declared: ' Every year, the Moon is a bit farther away from Earth. There will be a day when Earth will fall into a disadvantage like Venus, unable to live anymore because the atmosphere is heavily polluted, the pressure is very high, the greenhouse effect becomes dangerous . '.

According to the scientist, cosmologists must pay attention to what happens if we lose our natural satellites on Earth.

Gennadi Raikunov is someone who has long been interested in the Moon. He called the Moon the ' seventh continent' of the Earth and suggested that it should be built into a multi-purpose base, whose main purpose was to exploit the resources on it.

The Moon now moves around the Earth in an elliptical orbit in the opposite direction of the clock (if viewed from the North pole) at a rate of about 1.02 km / sec. An expert of the Astronomical Institution named Sternberg asserts that the Moon is far away from Earth but not significant, only 38 millimeters a year. ' It takes billions of years for the Moon to spin around the Earth to increase by half. It cannot fly away from Earth. Where does it get 'run away' energy? 'he said.

Another scientist of the institute, Vladimir Surdin, said: " The process away from the Moon's Earth is not endless." At some point, it will be absorbed again. He added: Under the influence of the Sun's tide (not the Moon's tide), the speed of Earth's rotation decreases so the Moon's distance from Earth also decreases. Five billion years later, the maximum radius of Moon's orbit is only 463,000 km.

" What affirms that the Moon will abandon Earth's orbit to become a planet," as Raukunov said, will never happen. the land slows down, which makes the Moon even closer to Earth . '

Many other scientists also believe that even if the Moon is no longer the Earth's satellite, it will not turn the Earth into a deadly planet like Venus. The head of the comparative Planetary laboratory of the Institute of Geochemistry and Chemistry of the Russian Federation of Physics, Alexandr Bazilevski commented: ' Assuming the Moon leaves us, the night will be dark, there is no water. When the tide goes up and down the sea, we still live . "

Raikunov's colleagues did not agree with him that Mercury had previously been Venus's satellite. Bazilevski said: 'Calculations prove that this can happen, not once happened ', as well as' Earth and Mercury do not grow the same because of Mercury's atmosphere contains many copper The heavy taste of hydrogen is deuterium, which Earth does not.

This shows that in the past, Mercury has many countries. When water is decomposed on a high floor into hydrogen and oxygen, the light isotopes of hydrogen escape into the universe faster than the heavy isotopes '.

In short, there is nothing to worry about. At least five billion years, we still have romantic rides under the moonlight.
