What if Earth Got Another Moon? How Do Asteriod Belts Form?
Gravity shapes everything in our solar system, from rocky debris to the motion of moons. In this episode, we explore how asteroid belts form, why they are made of leftover building blocks instead of broken planets, and how Jupiter’s gravity plays a key role. Then we imagine what might happen if Earth gained a second moon, and how that could affect tides, climate, seasons, and even the night sky.
