What kinds of alien life might evolve on a planet with weaker gravity than Earth's? An exploration of Sam Vilasboas’s speculative alien world "Anu."

Nearly every form of life on our planet is, in some way or another, determined by the same, invisible force: gravity. Earth’s gravitational pull influences the parameters of animals’ body plans, maximum size, and behavior - often limiting the ways in which life can evolve. But an earth-like level of gravity isn’t a constant through the universe. Imagine a planet where gravity is much, much weaker than it is on earth.
This speculative hypothetical is the inspiration behind the fictional alien world of Anu, a creation of the talented artist Sam Vilasboas. The organisms on Anu have evolved into very different forms than what could feasibly exist on our own planet.
So, for this entry into the archive, we’ll be taking a documentary-style deep-dive into this incredibly detailed low-gravity world…

Idk, but I think it isn’t the same. Water exercise a specific pressure (which is bigger than the pressure made by the air) based on the gravity of a planet, in fact on earth water not at all support your body and water species adapted to higher pressure and so a “higher gravity”. In the case of air works equally, air (with its weight) drag you to the ground and don’t support your body. In conclusion water organisms live with more pressure and organisms which live on a planet with minor gravity are gonna be much different cause the difference between the gravity. As final assumption neither water or air support your weight and it is all decided by gravity...

@pegasBaO23 2 жыл бұрын

Low gravity is counter productive to a higher density atmosphere, and atmospheric density is what is required for boyant forces and lift forces, so parodoxically you'd want higher gravity (-> higher pressures -> higher density) to have floatier flighty creatures Edit: Adendum, higher temperature could lessen the need for higher pressures

They evolved before any vertebrates, survived their takeover, and even now they have a monopoly on the role of small, consuming creatures, who live and prey on the residue of larger species. Insects find success in areas that other animals shun, and they are more numerous and successful than the majority of other creatures. Even humans, the most successful vertebrates, are plagued with arthropods as other animals are, because their roles in nature are so special and immovable. Insects, in many ways, can be considered humanity's equals.

They live on a world with a moon so large and so close that at night the gravity on the planet is substantially lessened. The Holovyrm are nocturnal, and rest during the day, when their bodies are heavy, using the added pressure from the atmosphere to help them digest their food because it compresses their coarse stomachs more. Meanwhile, at night, the large objects they build their cities out of begin to float on the monumental high tides, and the Holovyrm themselves come out of their homes, now light enough to fly since their moon decreases their gravity.

If the planet has a small amount of gravity, then it cannot hold onto the oceans, and it would evaporate. So I think that a godzilla sized creature is sadly impossible

What is interesting about a low gravity planet, is this: On our planet, all animals and fish have connective tissue, to keep our organs from getting twisted or out of position. As an example, the stomach in sheep can shift after giving birth. Because some of the connective tissue tears and is connected to the pelvis of sheep. A low grav planet would not require so much connective tissue to keep organs in place. I am immediately imagining more bloated, fluid-filled bodies. Perhaps more spongy tissue to "fill" the cavities.

However, on a smeller planet with lower gravity can also be lower atmospheric pressure, which would cancel this effect of ability of being able to glide throught the air efficiently. Like on mars, they had to increase greatly the rotors speed for the copter probe they send there just recently so that it would work in thin Martian atmosphere. How can we expect that planets which are diametrally smaller in size will also be capable of the same atmospheric pressure??

@azrielmoha6877 2 жыл бұрын

Here's the explanation by the author on the atmosphere. Anu is pretty far from its sun (about asteroid belt, since you mentioned); it is suppose to be a ball of snow; in the past, it was, but a massive impact launched the volcanic activity sky high (and miraculously put the planet with a almost perfect 90º in axial tilt); the planet got warm, life emerged; thick atmospheric layer of water vapor, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, etc. due to the extense volcanic activity; the atmospheric loss due to the low gravity is "almost" completely compensated, but it happens at a low rate; this super greenhouse effect that lasts almost 855 millions years, extended by the the equilibrium created by the life on the planet, is now fading quickly; in 40 million years or less, the planet is gonna become a snowball again. www.deviantart.com/sanrou/art/Anu-572810619?comment=1%3A572810619%3A4230999758

But would't the low gravity also make the atmosphere thinner? So it would make it more difficult for flying creatures to fly, unless it's made up of heavy gasses

@Ditidos 2 жыл бұрын

Not necesarilly. And if it has an Earth-like atmosphere it probably will be easier to fly due to the force pulling down being smaller. Also, heavy gasses are probably selected for in small atmospheres since lighter ones will go to space.

wouldn't a low gravity planet not have a very thick atmosphere? Making it rather difficult to fly? I suppose with the right balance anything is plausible. Either way love this! I wanna make my own.

@@ockertoustesizem1234 that's the point. A thick membrane like water allows you to move through it and support your weight. But a thin atmosphere means there's less membrane (gas) to move through. It would be harder to generate lift by flapping your wings because there's less air to push off of.
