if we disassembled Mercury to create a Dyson swarm would the rotation of the inner planets change
Disassembling Mercury to create a Dyson swarm would likely have a negligible effect on the rotation of the inner planets.
Here's why:
Mercury's small mass: Compared to the other planets, especially the gas giants, Mercury's mass is relatively insignificant. Its gravitational influence on the other planets is minimal.
Dyson swarm's distribution: A Dyson swarm would be distributed around the star, creating a relatively symmetrical mass distribution. This would minimize any gravitational perturbations on the inner planets.
Orbital mechanics: The orbits of the inner planets are primarily determined by the Sun's gravity. The removal of Mercury's mass would not significantly alter this balance.
While there might be some minor adjustments due to gravitational interactions, the overall stability of the inner planets' orbits would likely remain largely unaffected.
