What Would Happen If Earth Lost Gravity for 5 Seconds?

While we do not think about it often, it is the gravity that keeps everything together on our planet. But have you ever wondered what would happen if Earth lost gravity for just 5 seconds?

If Earth lost gravity even for 5 seconds, it would end life on our planet before we even know it. Gravity pulls the objects towards one another and the more massive an object is, the stronger the gravitational pull becomes.

Gravity is what keeps us on the ground and what causes objects to fall on the floor when we drop them. In the absence of gravity, humans and other objects would lose their weight and fly around.

However, instead of just floating like astronauts in space, with no gravity, the objects would become tumbleweeds and move very fast. This is because our planet would keep spinning without anything to hold objects in place.

Lack of gravity would result in pulling air, water, and atmosphere on Earth leading to devastation all across the globe. Lack of air pressure would result in shattering everyone’s inner ear almost instantly.

Our planet would also lose oxygen resulting in concrete structures crumbling as oxygen is an important binding agent for them. With the absence of oxygen, H2O would become hydrogen gas, leading to explosions in every cell.
