Imagine that you could increase the gravitational

force on Earth to 200% of its current force. What would life be like?

Your weight would be very much heavier and causes struggles

All challenges

A benefit is the earth would be closer to the sun so it could be a bit warmer if not to hot


I would choose to keep my gravity. Because I don’t need to re learn how to walk and it won’t be as hot sense we won’t Beas close to the sun if the gravity did go up.

Won’t write it for you but I can give some talking points.

1. You weight would be doubled because gravitational force is doubled

2. Challenges:

a. Everyone’s body would have to adjust to the new weight and learn to walk again

b. Earth would be closer to the sun, so everything would be hotter on Earth

c. Flying airplanes and driving cars might no longer work at all (talk about how difficult this would make traveling)

3. Benefits:

a. Time would go by much slower so technically everyone would live longer

b. Balloons wouldn’t fly off anymore

4. You have to decide for yourself if you’d like it better or worse
