The only thing holding the feat back is I’m guessing expanding the Moon’s size is vague.
Even the Magic being amplified on Elentir is irrelevant since the one performing the feat, Selene, is the source of that magic and was still not going all out with it.
Either really making the Moon that much bigger or dragging it closer to the planet would probably get you a silly number though
Well the mass of the moon is about 7.3459 x e22 kg.
The orbital speed of the moon is 1020 m/s.
The amount of Kinetic Energy it would take to alter the moons orbit would be calculated with the Kinetic Energy formula KE = (1/2)(m)(v2).
So, 0.5 x 7.3459x e22 x 10202 = 3.803x e28 Joules
lolThe amount of energy needed to stop the moon and sending it crashing into the earth is about 3.7x e28 joules. You would need about half that to accelerate the moon out of earth orbit.
Now, 3.7 xe 28 is a lot of joules. That is the same energy found in:
2.3 x e20 gallons of gasoline (roughly 2/3 the volume as the world's oceans)
7 x e12 Megatons of TNT (10 billion times the energy content of the Tsar Bomba, the largest nuclear warhead ever tested)
The amount of energy from sunlight received by earth in 5600 years
The total amount of energy output by the sun in about a minute
lmao even
