If the Moon were replaced with some of our planets
This is a visualization of what it might be like if the Moon was replaced with some of the other planets at the same distance as our moon
In order show:
Mars
Venus
Neptune
Uranus
Jupiter
Saturn
Mercury is intentionally left off as it isn’t Much bigger than our Moon (and hence is boring)
Everything is correctly scaled. The Axial tilts are not particularly accurate.
the moon that flies in front of Saturn is Tethys. It is Tiny. but *very* close
Dione would be on a collision course, it’s orbital distance from Saturn is Nearly identical to our Moon’s orbit around Earth
Titan, which is Larger than our Moon, is outside the orbit of Dione
