Air in Space
What would happen if space had air?
Would the Earth burn up from friction? Would astronauts be able to be without spacesuits? Would Earth veer off course from the friction? What will happen to the debris spinning around Earth? Will they fly away? Will they be knocked back into Earth's atmosphere? What will happen to other planets? Will Mercury just burn up as well? Could we even go to space anymore because of friction?
Ok that's about it (maybe)😁
edit: to clarify air as in the gaseous mixture that is earth's atmosphere
Edit2: thanks for all the cool replies!! Thank you for trying to answer all my Saturday morning questions lol
