Let’s suppose we could dump enough “breathable” air (whatever that means for humans) into the solar system that it filled the spaces between planets.

What would happen?

A - I imagine it would then become possible to fly airplanes between planets, perhaps balloons? Would space travel become easier or harder?

B - According to another lemmy post, we would start to hear sound waves from the sun (A constant jackhammer sound - delightful)

C - Each each planet become the center of some mega cyclone (like the Jupiter storms, but bigger)?

D - At some point the air above us wouldn’t be pushing down onto the earth at sea level, could we survive the additional pressure?

    The air resistance would probably tear the Earth apart. Keep in mind we’re whizzing around the sun at like 3000 MPH. All the planets move at different speeds, so something is getting wrecked by air resistance
