Question 1.
If the earth expanded at the same rate as the
universe, how much would the radius increase in 1
million years?
Question 2.
Were all planets at the same distance from the
sun 100 million years ago as they are today?
I think that the local gravitational forces overwhlem that due to the
current expansion of space and as a result there is no local expansion
effect, not now anyway. In the far far future (trillions of years from
now?) everything might get ripped apart though since the expansion
appears to be accelerating!
