New Theory: The earth is getting lighter, does that affect the moon?
« on: 10/12/2020 10:43:43 »
The sun is losing matter and energy all the time and the solar planets, moons and asteroids are absorbing that energy for re-emission.  But the solar wind is H+ ions which land on planets can be converted to matter inside the planets core which is why the tectonic plates that separate our oceans over millions of years move apart.

It may contain hydrogen ions, but it would also contain electrons such that it would be effectively neutral.

How do they get to the core? Hydrogen ions are strongly absorbed by normal matter. Most would be captured in the atmosphere or crust of the planets.

Convection currents in the mantle are sufficient to explain plate tectonics.
