What If The Planets Became Earth's Moons

  The Moon is the Earth's closest space neighbour and it's only natural satellite. It likely formed when a huge Mars-sized object crashed into our planet billions of years ago, but I wasn't around that though...this event turned Earth into a scorching ball of molten rock. It also pushed something in its orbit, creating the Moon. Now, this heavily cratered sphere moves around our planet. This causes high and low tides around the world. Moon is a bit more than one-fourth the size of Earth. It is the fifth largest natural satellite in the solar system after Ganymede, Titan, Callisto and IO. It has some phases like - New moon, No moon, Crescent moon, first and last quarter. But whatever it looks like, we can find it in the night sky and sometimes even in the day. But, imagine that one day you get up from the bed and you see that the moon looks somewhat different than usual...it seems brighter and bigger. You don't even realise that it is not moon anymore, Its Mercury! Close...
