According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, massive objects like planets create a curvature in the fabric of space-time. This curvature causes objects to move along a curved path rather than a straight line, which is what we experience as gravity.
Yes, any object with mass will cause a warp in the fabric of space-time. However, the amount of warp depends on the mass of the object. The larger the mass, the greater the curvature.
The warp in space-time caused by a planet affects the orbit of other objects around it, like moons or satellites. The curvature of space-time creates a gravitational pull that keeps objects in orbit around the planet.
Yes, the warp in space-time also affects time. The closer an object is to a massive planet, the slower time moves for that object. This phenomenon is known as time dilation.
Yes, the warp in space-time is permanent as long as the planet or object is present. Even after a planet is destroyed or moves to a different location, the curvature in space-time will remain and continue to affect the movement of other objects.
