What Earth Would Look Like With Rings Li...

What the rings would look like from different cities and latitudes across the world. It`s interesting to imagine how it would effect culture throughout time. It would have influenced religion, mythology, navigation, etc.

Can I understand from this, that we now have a reason to blow up the moon?

ah but the Earth did have rings:

The most profound climatic event of the Tertiary was the terminal Eocene event 34 million years ago. The sudden change in the abundance of forest plants suggests that the winters became much more severe while the summers remained about the same. At about the same time, the radiolaria were devastated by some sort of disaster. This was also the time when the North American tektite strewn field was deposited -- a field that stretches halfway around the world. John O`Keefe hypothesizes that some of the tektites and microtektites that rained down during this period missed the earth and went into orbit around it, forming an opaque Saturn-like ring. This ring might have lasted a million years or more; and its shadow could have caused the extrasevere winters postulated from botanical data.

Well that made my night.

And @Presto, I was wondering about the shadow from said rings. Wouldn`t that make a few hundred miles basically uninhabitable?

@Presto:
I think that not only winters but it would also cause much stronger storms then we know.
But as a graphical concept it looks nice.

Wow ... good post Presto. And this would have made an incredible difference to the development of civilisation. Not the least of which would be peculiar weather patterns.

That would be really cool to see how it would have influenced religion and mythology.

It would probably be the same except Christians would come up with some bullshit theory as to why there were rings in the sky

I bet if earth had a ring, science would have progressed faster. We would have likely figured out that the world was round much earlier which leads to many other discoveries. Think about how religion, history and mythology would all differ.
