Allen, this time I admit that what you offer is intrigueing. But still some important unanswered questions. When you say the world doubles in size, do you mean like a balloon, becoming more gaseous (vapor) below, or are you claiming increased mass.. an important distinction, and if the latter, you are on serious doubtful science. Next if it is the former, then gravity as a value would not be altered a great deal. I grant the atmospheric gases if not increased in quantity save more water vapor, having a higher altitude configuration and thus a lower density, (it has to spread over a much larger volume) would be further from the magnetic entensity of the core, and thus more affected by cosmic rays as you say. It seems that the importance of the solar winds effect on cosmic rays and cloud formation is an important plank against man made climate change, and an important part of the rain drought cycle. But this occurs even today, without the need for any ballooning of the planet. Also such ballooning effects the humidity and air pressures, amount of saturated water vapor, all of which would make for an enlarged volumetric change in the water cycle without actually changing principles involved. Not to forget about the problems of breathing for animals in a much more oxygen rareafied atmosphere. Why do you want to complicate things which were once so simple? I thought that was my job here.
