How ingenious is the state of the earth? If it was tidally locked by the sun, creatures may have faced doomsday long ago

The more human beings know about the cosmic environment, the more they will cherish their own existence. Because looking at the various planetary states in the solar system, it seems that no place can provide a suitable living environment for human beings like the earth. Take, for example, the moon that is closest to our earth. The temperature difference between day and night there is the most powerful test for the survival of life on earth.

Through Chang'e 4, many people may also know that the moon will always only face the earth on one side, and the other side will always turn away from the earth, which is also related to the state of the moon's movement. Running a day and night is equivalent to a month on our planet. The extraordinary length of day and night has caused the temperature difference on the moon to reach nearly 300 degrees.

The state of our earth is much more ingenious and comfortable. 24 hours a day, day and night change, it will not cause the surface temperature to be too high because of too long sunshine, and it will not cause people to fall into cold and darkness because of too long night. . But if our earth was tidally locked by the sun like the moon, all this might not be so beautiful. After being tidally locked, the rotation state of the earth may be equal to the revolution time of the sun. Only one side will always face the sun, the other side will never receive sunlight.

You may think that this will only bring eternal night and day to our earth, but what kind of impact will this eternal night and day have on the earth? The long-term exposure to this side of the sun is sure to be unbearably hot. And the side that fell into the endless darkness was naturally cold to the bone. Which area will the creature choose to live in at that time? It is possible that only parts of the sun slanted, and some areas where day and night meet, provide some life for living things. Such a small space naturally cannot support the existing creatures on the earth.

But the external environment of the earth has undergone tremendous changes. The earth without the ability to rotate naturally cannot guarantee the speed of the existing atmospheric circulation, then the climate on the earth will become quite bad, and even natural phenomena such as wind and rain will become extremely rare. Coupled with the strong temperature difference, most living things will face doomsday and die. But fortunately, our earth is not locked by the tides of the sun, we can freely enjoy the change of day and night, and the changing seasons, all of which are simply too ingenious and beautiful.

If the earth will be tidally locked by the sun one day in the future, can we humans, as higher creatures on earth, be able to save ourselves successfully?
