Question What would happen to a planet without its core?
What would happen to an Earth-like planet if its core completely and instantly vanished? Would the planet begin to pull in on itself due to asymmetry and the empty space in the middle, or would it begin to fail due to another factor? Or would it remain (relatively) unscathed? If so, for how long?

Question What are the effects of a planet staying long-term inside of a nebula?
Let's say for some odd reason, a planet (while in orbit of something) travels at all times inside of a nebula. What all would happen to the planet? Could it sustain life (if sunlight was substituted), or would the nebula cause some other nasty side effects?

Question How to make an invisible planet from its stratosphere up?
Is there a way to make a planet invisible naturaly? I dont want the entire thing to be clear, but have a natural "field" or something that prevents the planet from being seen (or makes it much harder) from the outside. It should still allow someone to get to the planet. It only needs to be invisible...

Question How would a civilization that has been living on a "cube" Earth differ from one on a "spherical" Earth?
Another question based off of this one here. Let's say on a cube styled Earth-like planet, there was a similar race to humans. If the differences in the planets were minimal (besides, you know, the whole cube part), how would the two civilizations change and grow (compared to each other)?

Question Can a planet with no tectonic plates technically exist and be habitable?
Going off of my other question here, I guessed that a cube planet could work out. BUT, would it be possible for the planet to exist and function as a (relatively) normal planet with life on it without having tectonic plates? I know that tectonic plates with a cube don't really work out too well in li...

Question Can a nonspherical planet exist and can it be habitable?
In both fiction and non-fiction worlds, that attempt to keep a sense of realism, planets are spherical. Is it possible for a planet to not be shaped like a sphere? If such a planet is possible could it sustain life? For example, having a proper magnetic field, atmosphere, etc?

Question How big would a "Ring World" have to be to orbit a black hole?
In many Science Fiction books and games, there are worlds or planet-like objects that are rings that orbit (or float around in space) (some examples being the Halo (from Halo) or the Ringworld (from the book called Ringworld by Larry Niven). After reading through a lot of the Ringworld book, it got...
