What would happen if the Moon was replaced by other planets in the Solar System?

Yes, in actuality probably a devastating gravitational tug resulting in the deaths of billions, or worse, as the oceans suddenly rise up and flood the Earth, our air is tugged from the atmosphere and we fly towards our new neighbour, screaming and burning as we go.

But what would it look like just before that happened?

Kind of cool.

A new visualisation of different planets in the sky instead of the Moon has provided a neat new look at how the planets would appear in the sky. Also check out the YouTube user's other work, including a size comparison of the Solar System.

I'm not too smart with this stuff but something like this would also have a serious effect on our coastlines, no? Our oceans would act drastically different, at least in terms of the tides. Cool pic no doubt.....

If you read the article it explains what would happen

Ok, but I think what would happen is up for debate. I don't think who made the video has the slightest idea what would happen. Imploding earth seems unlikely.

Another interesting, yet related question would be what it would look like from various spots around the solar system.

From one of jupiters moon
from jupiter itself?

anyways, I can't remember where I saw it, but there was either a video or a magazine article on it, and it showed artists renditions of what these dozen or so vantage points from around the solar system would look like. some of it was pretty spectacular

Would definitely be a cool spectical if we could see the rings of Saturn from our backyards... But yah, it would probably be one of the last things we would see... But it's still sweeter than zombies or a nuke from n. korea
