What kind of effects would be seen on Earth if it was pulled from orbit?
The moon isn't really captured by the Earth, they are both co-planets in the same orbit. At no point is the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the Moon stronger than that of the Sun. …

You've made it to another star! Now, how do you find its planets?
Planets will normally orbit a star in the same plane as its own rotation. This cuts down the area you need to search. …

Is this planetary system stable?
There is one empirical law that fits many of the stable systems we can see, both planets and moons, and that is Bode's Law. … It gives a very close fit to the locations of the first seven planets, with a gap at the Asteroid belts.
Body Actual distance (A.U.) …

Can an atmosphere englobe a planetary ring?
It could not happen for a standard planetary ring that is in orbit, due to drag. But it isn't impossible to form a structure that appears to be a ring from entities floating in the atmosphere, not in …

Eye in the Sky Effect
I'll take an idea from Henry Taylors' answer. I think that the converging moon would appear black as it transited the face of the larger, outer moon. But lets assume that the small moon is tidal loc …

Is there anything that would accelerate the death of the sun?
There is one "simple" way...simply pile on the mass of Hydrogen. Large stars burn hotter, and much faster than midsize or small stars, and reach the end of lifetime quicker.

Would a planet with very small temperature variation (between 17 and 21 degrees Celsius) be ...
The problem with this requirement for a 1% temperature uniformity on a planetary scale is that heat conducts slowly relative to the size of a planet. Conduction, winds, you name whatever temperature …
