you think the bottom of a pan will get to 210C when cooking by induction? can you imagine what would happen to the oil IN the pan at 210c?

Would it be better with a space telescope like Hubble?

Pan heats up. Heats up so much that it sets the rag underneath it on fire.

Not very efficient though, rags are more expensive than the useful energy it will release.

lol why would it burst into flames

From one pic I’ve seen, it seems that the cover is pretty much on top of the coils.

The mutual inductance change ratio it does will be (r_initial/r_final)^2 If the towel is the same thickness as the cover, this’ll be r_final=2*r_initial (1/2)^2=1/4 whichll mean 1/4 the power

If the cloth is half the thickness of the cover, then r_final=1.5*r_initial (1/1.5)^2=.44

If the cloth is 1/8th the thickness, it’ll be 80% the same efficiency

There is a forum for this /r/worldbuilding. Many of these questions are asked there in the context you are looking for.

The short answers are:

We don't usually consider a satellite to have any influence on geography, geology or climate other than tides. A satellite and the tides are usually considered necessary for the evolution of life.

>Also, what would happen if a natural satellite suddenly appears around a planet that did not had one ?

Largely depends on the mass and distance.

>creating a new Mars-like (like red desert planet) satellite directly from the crust of the original Earth-like planet they lived on

Ripping that much mass from the planet is much more devastating than the moon itself.

>it destroys Pangea and reshapes the lands.

It reshapes the planet. Gravity isn't going to tolerate a missing chunk and gravity is going to force the planet back into round or nearly so. Massive devastation as in earthquakes beyond imagination until its settled.

No, plate tectonics is based on heat from the earths mantle.

Think of tectonic plates as part of a cracked shell that all fit snugly together over the earth's molten mantle.

Heat from radioactive processes within then causes the plates to move.

For your story, it would be a piece of your planets cracked shell being removed and the molten stuff underneath exposed. I can only imagine the massive devastation as the rest of the plates try to move to fill in the gap.

The kind of cataclysm you're talking about depends greatly on how much material you're ejecting into space, and also quite a bit on how far away it ends up. You say that it is a city that's getting yeeted out the planetary airlock, though you call it Mars-like based on its climate. That's a huge range. You're going to have to decide where in that size range it falls in order to get any workable details.

If the amount of crust getting cosmically defenestrated is the size of a city, there will be little to no impact on the planet at large. It doesn't matter how far away it ends up in this scenario. It's a small asteroid, too small to fall into a spherical shape, and it's going to need all kinds of magic to have anything to make it habitable, like air or sufficient gravity.

If on the other hand it's the size of Mars, the entire biosphere of the original planet will be utterly destroyed, the surface liquified, and no kind of life will be able to exist there for several million years (which is what actually happened to earth).

You'll need to provide more details.

It will actually heat the pan more using less electricity once it bursts into flames.

That is useful for reducing the noise and increasing the exposure time, but doesn't actually increase the resolution.

hwo about the kitchen towel?

How the continents look like is mostly determined by what is going on underneath the surface. Earth looks the way it does because of plate tectonics. We have several major continents with major landforms clearly linked to tectonic plates like mid-ocean ridges or mountain ranges often existing in one long line along plate boundaries. Other planets do not have plate tectonics. The topography on Mars or Venus was built primarily by shield volcanoes and erosion. I do not know why Earth has plate tectonics while Mars and Venus don't and I don't think anyone knows. It could be that the impact that created the Moon had an effect. It could be that tidal heating from the Moon's gravity helped (especially early on when the Moon was much closer). It could be that other factors were much more important and the Moon has barely any impact.

​

Regarding your fictional world, how exactly did that cataclysm happen?

There are theories that Venus underwent a global resurfacing event some 300-500 million years ago, which covered the entire surface in lava and essentially erased the previous topography. Since then, Venus' surface was mostly shaped by volcanoes and wind erosion forming more or less randomly distributed highlands, which would be continents if Venus had water. If that sounds fitting for your world, you can look up Venus' topography for inspiration.

Mars has an interesting topography with the southern hemisphere being several kilometers higher than the northern hemisphere. With enough water, that would mean one supercontinent covering half the planet and one big ocean covering the other half. Why it looks that way is still an open question afaik, I have seen a theory that a big impact may have caused it. Anyway, if your god grabbed the material for the new moon exclusively from one side of the planet (quite likely, I assume the whole population that angered him lived on that Pangea-like continent), that side could become the new mega-ocean. In that case, the land and ocean in your world may have simply switched places and without plate tectonics or other major resurfacing events, they will mostly stay where they are.

If you want your world to have plate tectonics, you could look at models of Earth in the past and future to get an idea of which landforms are possible and how they could have developed over time.

We would need a diagram of the specific induction cooker to calculate this because you have to know the distance from the coils to the pan

Generally though, the dirt at the bottom shouldn’t matter. They’re generally at the micron level of thickness

What about image stacking with many photos? I see that technique getting amazing resolution of galaxies.
