If Nightelves enhanced the moon of Elune!?

Ah, I thought it was the ramblings of the sleep deprived.

Let’s say the moon (Elune) were lighter than Azeroth and at a distance that that weight wouldn’t be effective it could still have an influence but not as impactful enough for mass destruction.

Even today in our reality we are still searching how the dinosaurs went extinct. If we on Azeroth were to go that way we would do the same thing digging up the past because all of it was erased . How are we to know if Azeroth wasn’t a reformation of what once was. It is and it isn’t?

Earth is tidally locked. That’s what makes the tides.


 No, the moon is tidally locked. That’s why we only see the one face of the moon. If the earth was tidally locked to the moon, the moon would only be visible from one side of the earth. It’s because the Earth is rotating independent of the moon, that we have tides. The moon is literally pulling the water towards it, as the Earth spins.

Well,if that is so we would have a map of the moons other side but we don’t.

No, because the moon is tidally locked to the earth. Which means the one face is always pointing towards the earth. In other words, the moon spins 1 time for every orbit around the earth it completes. If the earth was tidally locked to the moon, the position of the moon in the sky would never change.

Ok,so you’re saying azeroth doesn’t move then so we can’t see the other side?? Then how does the sun(day time does exist)rises and set? (we do have a night). :dracthyr_shrug:

Do you even know what tidal locking is?

The moon is tidally locked to the earth, the earth is not tidally locked to anything.

The earth rotates once a day, which gives you day and night.

Because the moon is tidally locked to the earth, the moon rotates once a month.

As the moon orbits the earth it is turning so the same face of the moon is always visible.

Maybe if Night Elves hired Gnomes to build a tractor beam to bring the Moon closer to Azeroth, it could appear to be the same size.

Then again it’ll probably bring about a ‘Cataclysm’ worse than what Deathwing bought :thinking:

Lol, of course ,I do when an object is locked so to not have a rotation. It always faces the dominate object therefore only see one side.

Well as I elaborated more in the post. The moon is tidally locked to the earth, earth not tidally locked to anything. It’s why the earth spins once a day, and the moon spins once a month.

The moon is not big enough to tidally lock the earth to it.

Night Elves would not presume that anything of Elune would need enhancing. And in most religions, believers who have the arrogance to find their dieties to be lacking usually get their comeuppance.

Ok,then if the blue child where the size of Azeroth what would happen? Considering size and mass ? I would guess it depends on the mass it’s it’s made from even though the effect would be known.

I mean, if you made either moon on Azeroth the size of Azeroth, they would tidally lock Azeroth 2 it, assuming it’s mass also increased
 It would also have some weird effects on the orbits and likely eventually cause all 3 bodies to collide.

This is the kicker,we don’t know the orbit of the blue child as it has a ability to hide,so either Elune or the blue child can cause an destruction event if the even get off course. But this is fantasy these thing don’t happen even if science can prove it would.

Yeah, but we’re use to it. Same with Florida – So I hear 

Introduce the situation in a region that wouldn’t be. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Por qué no los dos? :sweat_smile:
