Welcome to Planet Eisei!
Today in physics we focused on the force of gravity a little more! Here is a helpful formula that we learned about: F = Gm1m2/d^2.
"Eisei" (literally "satellite" in Japanese; pronounced like the English word "essay"), was recently discovered by scientists. A few students from a school in East Boston, MA (and professional scientists and astronauts from NASA) landed on this planet a few days ago and are still living on Eisei; exploring the planet, and sending information back home about Eisei. Apparently, the atmosphere, air, and conditions of the planet are suitable for life; just like on Earth! The only catch is that it is EXACTLY double the size that Earth is in mass! Earth's mass is 5.972 x 10^24 kg so Eisei being twice of that has a mass of 1.1944 x 10^25 kg. Before the scientific technicalities of Eisei are described, a little general description will be given of Eisei. Eisei orbits a magnificently beautiful star named "Kagaku" (lit. "science") in the Centripetal Juryoku Galaxy; the solar system that Eisei orbits in is called the "Sabishi Hoshi Kei" ("SHK" for short, literally meaning "The Lone Star System"). It is the only satellite to that star and the star is called "Hikari" (literally "light"). Eisei is just as beautiful as Earth apparently with its maroon skies, neon colored earth, and sweet smelling atmosphere (Eisei also has huge, open shallow bodies of water and no life apparently) , but quite different. Though, the science of Eisei and the physics do not vary much in general from other celestial bodies and what not. For example, though the gravity of Eisei is twice of what it is on Earth due to its mass being twice of Earth's mass there is still gravity and it works in the same way our gravity does; it is proportional to a body's mass and inversely proportional to distance (meaning that the greater an object mass on Eisei the greater the gravitational force is acting upon and the greater the distance based off of the centers of mass the weaker the gravitational force is). Also, objects fall here as they do on Earth; but objects from Earth would fall much easier on the new planet due to the gravity and gravity keeps Eisei in orbit around Hikari as well as keeps things from falling off of Eisei just like on Earth. Though, humans would not be able to withstand Eisei's gravity easily and would need to exercise quite a lot on Eisei to get used to Eisei's gravitational force. And Eisei orbits a bigger body than itself due to gravity (and centripetal force) just like Earth. Finally, in addition, it'll be much harder to do things on Eisei for humans and Eisei contains many dense objects and various moons due to its gravitational force which is different from Earth as Earth has one moon and not everything is completely dense.
Allegedly, Eisei was once a huge body of mass traveling in its own path, in a straight line, until it passed Hikari's territory and was drawn into orbit by Hikari's gravity. Now Eisei will be a candidate for further study and possible travel in case of an emergency.
