One thing we can conclusively deduce if this is correct is that they either had no moon and no tides before the time of the Sage, or the original somehow got blasted out of orbit. Edit: Unless the tides are also magical in this universe.
Or Pain was spouting grade A bullshit he might have genuinely believed because hes batshit insane. Has noone considered the plothole 10tails being sealed in a preexisting moon?
Im no physicist, but a 'moon' the size that Pain made low enough in the sky to look as large as our moon.. and keeping in mind its orbit must be stable..
Im pretty sure it would be moving fast enough, and close enough to the atmosphere, such that it would be a molten globe of superheated material spewing down liquid death to the poor souls below.
It would probably also be creating the mother of all sonic booms. Constantly.
I'm pretty sure Sonic Booms happen only once unless you're dipping UNDER it then going over it again.
Yes, IIRC the sonic boom is the collapse of the pressure wave a plane pushes before itself. When the plane gets faster than the wave, there is nothing holding the pressure up and all that compressed air explosively expands again.
No, a sonic boom is what you hear when the shockwave of a supersonic aircraft flying by reaches you. The shockwave itself is being generated continuously as long as the aircraft is moving at Mach 1 or greater.
Wikipedia is your friend.
That said, if an object in orbit is at a low enough altitude that it is encountering enough air to make a sonic boom, then it's not going to
stay in orbit. That air is going to create drag on the object, slowing it down until it falls. Objects in orbit only remain there because there is nothing affecting their speed other than gravity, which pulls them straight down towards whatever they are orbiting. If anything reduces their orbital velocity--like, say, air resistance--then that object is going to fall out of the sky sooner or later, no matter how big it is.
