What Would Gravity Be Like on Donut Earth? #Shorts

Подробнее о видео

Watch the full episode here:

What would happen to the Moon if Earth was shaped like a donut? The good news is, we'd still have it. Most likely, it would be pulled towards the hole, and bob up and down in the middle of the planet. Or, it could be affected by the gravity of the donut's outer edges, and create a figure eight orbit around Earth.
