Are tornadoes 🌪️🌪️🌪️ like vacuum cleaners and black holes, and basically suck people/livestock/objects up into orbit 🌙🌠?

I know very little about tornadoes as there are none in my country.

Seriously, when people, animals, debris get into the vortex of a tornado, do they end up on the Moon or something?

That’s not how gravity works. Black Holes are actually a kind of star, like the sun, but with an insane amount of mass that creates a deadly amount of gravity that, theoretically, would crush you to death just to orbit it.


Tornadoes are indeed windy vortexes, winds that spin cyclically at anywhere from 20 to 200 mph. When things get caught up in it, they’re more just thrown up and then back down instead of just sucked up into the nether reaches of space. Depending on the size of the storm and the weight/mass of the object being thrown, it could be possible for something to be sucked into orbit. But that would take a very light object and a very massive tornado. But comparing it to a vacuum cleaner isn’t inaccurate, there’s just nowhere for the sucked up stuff to go except back to the ground rather than a dust container.

No.


Tornadoes can lift and throw objects, that’s about it.


They don’t even reach close to leaving earth’s atmosphere.

No, they just move things. The most powerful tornado had winds of 500kph (300mph). These winds can obliterate structures. But to put an object in orbit it would have to be accelerated to something like 18000kph.

Tornados occurred do to difference in air pressure and temperature im pretty sure, no they do not get sucked into orbit they swirl around in the tornado, and eventually get flung out.

No the air gets less dense the higher you go so it won't have enough power to suck something into space.

No, read a book
