What If Earth Was As Small as Pluto?

It's a small world after all, because today, we're shrinking Earth to the size of Pluto. But if our planet was this tiny, how would it alter the atmosphere? Why would the Earth get hotter? And how would gravity affect our water supply? Would we be tidally locked to the Moon? Would our planet still be habitable?

A moment of silence for those who aren’t subscribed to this amazing channel…

I’ve honestly learned more from this channel than in school you guys make learning so much fun and teach about fascinating subjects!

I'd still be single.

Imagine if what if had an audio book
the guy voicing these videos sounds so positive and fun to be around

It's always feels like whenever What if uploads it's a gift of knowledge which actually makes me to go back to school

Thanks to what if for constantly reminding us that everything is perfect just the way it is

What If Mars was as big as Earth with the same mass and size as Earth

I just love this channel. It gives me so much of information than any other channel. I just keep watching this all the time. It's all about wondering what would happen if things were different. Astrophysics is something in which i am very much interested and this channel makes me imagine a lot. Thank you so much sir. I would like to ask just one question to which i couldn't find an answer- what if asteroid belt disappeared?

[Ghost-soul-pirate]

Thankyou so much what if sir
You are the real teacher of science and cosmology and astrophysics and astronomy
Thankyou so much 🙏👍

My son has been watching your videos for 7 months he loves it

Here's the summary of what if earth was small as pluto:
WE ALL DIE!!!

Living on a dwarf planet would be interesting

Props to what if's trusty sidekick for shrinking the earth to get all of this information 👏

Finnally pluto getting revenge on the people who said "Its dwarf planet"

You're my newest science college teacher thanks! Keep up the good work Sir

What if earth's magnetic field went backwards? (North pole to south pole)

[davonchism]

We haven’t found a dwarf planet similar in size to Pluto, but has a core made up of more conducting and heavier elements than what Pluto and earths core’s are made of. Is that even possible to have a Pluto sized planet with earths gravity and magnetic field?
