What Would Life On A Moon Look Like

Is there life on the moon?

yes there are beings on the moon but there not from the moon

Why is there no life on the moon?

No doubt Moon is in the habitable zone in the solar system, but being in the habitable zone only, doesn't guarantee evolution of life.Of course life on earth wouldn't have been here without earth being in the habitable zone, but even if there was no atmosphere, no oxygen, no liquid water, no moderate temperature, life wouldn't emerge. These are important factors, in fact just as important as a planet being in the habitable zone. On Moon, there is no atmosphere because of lack of a gravity as strong as on earth. Furthermore, there is no liquid water. The temperature on moon is not as moderate as it is on earth.Another important reason of emergence of life on earth, is the presence of carbon and silicon compounds in its surface. Organic matter was formed mostly from carbon, silicon and water, which are present on earth in abundance. On moon, these are not present.Although it can be debated that the conditions on earth cannot be the only conditions where life can emerge, we haven't found life emerging when such conditions are not met. Hence one could argue that if earth-like conditions are not met, life cannot emerge.

What would life be like on Earth if Saturn was as close as the moon?

If Saturn magically and suddenly replace our Moon with the same relative velocity as our Moon, due to Saturn’s mass, Saturn will be the center of the Earth - Saturn system. Earth will not have sufficient velocity for keeping itself in orbit. As a result, Earth will crash into Saturn … everyone dies.But while we die, the scenery will be awesome.If, on the other hand, we will have a Saturn/Earth system where the Earth has sufficient orbital velocity, Earth will remain in orbit. It will take Earth less than 3 days to orbit Saturn, assuming the Earth’s orbit around Saturn is at the same distance as the Moon’s orbit around Earth.But … powerful tidal forces, perhaps 10,000 time more powerful than what we experience today, will crash Earth’s crust and … Earth will become a planet covered by molten magma … everyone dies.But while we die, the scenery will be awesome.Within a few million years, due to the massive tidal forces, Earth’s spin will slow down until Earth will become tidily-locked with Saturn. While tidily-locked, Earth will experience weaker tidal forces. Then Earth will cool down and become a solid (but barren) moon of Saturn.Some data:Saturn’s equatorial radius is: 60,268 kmEarth’s distance from the Moon is ~ 384,400 km. At that distance it takes the Moon about 28 days to orbit Earth.Dion, a moon of Saturn at a similar distance from Saturn as our Moon is from us, takes about 2.7 days to orbit Saturn.Saturn is 7740 times more massive than the Moon.Saturn - WikipediaMoon - WikipediaDione (moon) - Wikipedia

What would life be like if the moon were burning? Would it be visible during the daylight? Would it make night impossible? How possible would it be for a burning moon to happen?

Almost totally unchanged.For starters, the Moon would need something to burn. Moon rocks are already oxidized - they cannot “burn”, even if the Moon had a pure oxygen atmosphere. Even if you covered the Moon in wood and then blanketed it in a pure oxygen atmosphere, the resulting conflagration (while awesome) would be exceedingly brief. Within hours, the moon would stop burning. Within days, it would cool. I mean, think about a forest fire here on Earth - it’s amazing…briefly. Then, all the trees are burnt. Continuous burning simply isn’t a thing.Now, would we be able to see this? Yes. During daylight? Yes - we can already see the moon during daylight. Would it make night impossible? No - most of the light emitted would be obscured by smoke! What we’d actually see (most likely) is a blurring of the surface as the Moon was blanketed in smoke. At night, we might see an orange glow.But, by tomorrow, the moon would look amazingly unaffected. The maria on the surface might be obscured - no more “Man in the Moon”. But, otherwise, it’s a brief “wow” followed by a resounding “meh”.However, there is one upside: the Moon would now be blanketed in carbon dioxide. That’d be great! Though the Moon wouldn’t be able to hold this atmosphere for long, in the short term it would make living on the Moon much easier.Life on Earth? Unaffected. Life on the Moon? Now possible.Thanks!

Do you believe there is life on jupiters moon, europa?

I love contemplating this very question. If they really have lakes, what's to make us think that there aren't living organisms in them. I think it's actually pretty arrogant to think we are the only living things in the universe. Like they say, life finds a way.
