What might Earth be like if it had never been hit by the theoretical protoplanet Orpheus?

Answer:

If Earth hadn't been hit by Orpheus, it would be covered by ocean, with perhaps a few mountaintops emerging through the water. There would be no humans, but there could be other forms of life. Earth would rotate rapidly, as the moon would not be present to produce the tidal friction that slows Earth's rotation today
