What would happen if you put a portal at the bottom of the ocean, and the other on the moon?

The ocean and the atmosphere would slowly be lost to space

Nothing, because the moon doesn't have gravity so none of the water would be pulled through.

Interesting, but what of the water in space?

If it were on the Moon I figure it might stick to it (escape velocity isn't nearly high enough to send it to space)

Eventually the Moon would turn into a second planet and be covered entirely with ice.

And then it would be too heavy and fall from the sky and kill us all.

The moon is denser than the water so it would sink into the ocean

It would definitely fuck up the orbit of both bodies so much that no life could survive.

the water pressure would try to balance itself

How big would the tide be on the moon though?

>> No.12274931

Earth has 332.5 million cubic miles of water on it, and the surface area of the moon is 14.6 million square miles.

It would continue to drain until most of the water left the earth, and then create a sister ice planet.
