If Earth Had Rings

First off, they would be really pretty to look at. They would also dominate the sky in both night and day at exactly the same place as they would never rise nor set. And at night you would see the Earth’s shadow swing across the rings, like in the 4th photo here.

However, life would be very different on Earth if this were the case. Nocturnal animals would have a hard time being nocturnal, as the light reflecting from the rings would illuminate the night.

Because we are closer to the Sun than Saturn is, the rings would be more rocky than ice, making them less bright but still pretty bright. In fact, you would see far less stars at night (living anywhere other than the equator or the arctic circle) because of the light pollution and not to mention ruin most meteor showers because of that.

During the day the rings would block sunlight in certain regions of the planet creating wild weather cycles and effecting plant life as well. So basically, they would be definitely pretty to look at but they would also make a whole lot of things screwy.

RunKeeper: How to make running buddies work for you:

By Billy Lazzaro

What’s the sound of one man running? Sounds an awful lot like sleeping. If you’re anything like me, the hardest part about running before work is getting out of bed. I kind of hate running. Or maybe it’s that I really enjoy team sports, and an early morning run will never be…

Hey, I know that guy!

Amber Lough: Remembering and Honoring:

amberlough:

The year I was 24, I was at a crossroads and didn’t even know it. I was a First Lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force and deployed to Camp Victory, Iraq. I was…so many things. But at a crossroads? I didn’t know.

I was just settling down into my 6+ month deployment, and was still adjusting to the…
