Massive Storms, Disastrous Tides, and Global Destruction
As a giant rogue planet nears Earth, the first warning sign would come from its magnetic field. When it interacts with Earth’s magnetic field, the result would be violent thunderstorms and breathtaking auroras. These dazzling lights might be beautiful, but they would not last long.
Next, Earth’s oceans would respond to the new gravitational force. Tidal waves far larger than anything in recorded history would crash against continents. Earthquakes would strike across the globe. The atmosphere would start to thin out and leak into space. Eventually, our planet could begin to break apart. Darkness would fall, temperatures would plummet, and life would be erased.
