New science kid on the block Dominic Burgess uses the scientific football pitch method to try and give us an idea of just how big our solar system really is.

The universe is so big that to me it's actually impossible to comprehend. No matter how many universe comparison videos I watch, or no matter how many times I look at the stars and planets through my telescope, I just can't comprehend these things. Anyone agree?

Reminds me of a problem I have when imagining a spaceship I dreamed up. It's 10km by 3km by 1.5km (roughly). Whenever I imagine it next to something, it's always way, way too small. I have to really stretch my imagination to make it the correct size. It feels like pulling on a rubber band, my mind doesn't want to go that big, and resists. Human minds just seem to have a limit to how big we can perceive things. So, the solar system, being positively gargantuan in size compared to our sense of scale, just has a hard time being comprehended.

The crazy thing is that the distance between the sun and Farfarout, currently known as the most far-out object in the solar system, is about 14,200 times the sun's diameter.

The distance between the moon and Earth never portrait how far it is in my opinion. The one triviafact that helps me understand that it's wicked far away is the fact that all planets can fit between the Earth and the moon. (I doublechecked and it only works with the moon being further away than its average distance to Earth, but it still within the max distance. I also excluded Saturns rings and Pluto)

2:41 150 million _kilometres,_ not miles (as others have already pointed out). Fun fact: At this scale, the nearest star (Proxima Centauri) would be about 40,000 km away, equal to the circumference around the Earth’s equator, or a little more than 1/10 of the distance to the Moon.

@daylearceneaux4083 Год назад

The Sun would be very distinguishable from the other stars from Neptune. It is the brightest object in the sky from every planet. Even from Pluto, you could damage your eyes looking directly at it. During Pluto daylight, the sun is still 300 times brighter than a full moon on Earth.

@fromnorway643 5 месяцев назад

I have seen several descriptions of the Sun as "just a bright star" when seen from the outer planets, but a point in the sky shining several hundred times brighter than the full Moon is definitely _not_ just a bright star!

Jack Mason I'm with you. What does an astronomical body have to do to be called a planet? Here is Pluto, a body in hydrostatic equalibrium (spherical) with a moon, also in hydrostatic equalibrium. And Pluto still pulls off four more potato-shaped moons. Mercury is only managing hydrostatic equalibrium with no moons and no one is seriously considering demoting it.

@MrFredy402 7 лет назад

But Pluto is not able to clean it's orbit from another bodies due to it's weak gravity. This is the last condition which has to be met to call something a planet. If Pluto was considered a planet than 30+ other bodies in Kuiper belt should be also called planet.

@CarFreeSegnitz 7 лет назад

Jupiter hasn't cleaned out its orbit either. The Trojan and Greek asteroids remain stubbornly at 60 degrees in front and behind Jupiter in its orbit. For that matter none of the classical planets have thoroughly cleared their orbits, all of them get smacked by asteroid materials all the time. If the theorized Planet X pans out it's going to run afoul of IAU's definition of a planet too.

@MrFredy402 7 лет назад

Trojan and Greek asteroids are tidaly locked by the gravity of Jupiter-Sun system to their osculating orbits so Jupiter in that sense cleaned them to these orbits. Your next argument was that there are other small bodies crossing the orbits of standard planets but this is irrelevant because planets are still dominant bodies in the vicinity of their orbits. Pluto and another dwarf planets are certainly not that case. There are numerous known dwarf planets with similar masses to Pluto with orbits that enables them to get close encounters with Pluto. Thats why Pluto is definitely not dominant body in classical Kuiper belt and therefore it should not be called a planet.

Lenard Segnitz - No that what you said is just wrong. MrFredy402 did give explanation to why what you said is wrong. Also Vesta, Juno, Ceres and Pallas used to be Solar System's planets but the original commentator and you have probably not even heard of that before.

Don't mix imperial and metric! Metric ONLY please.

Apologies. We're British. It's hard to let go ⚖

@jerryburrows6206 7 лет назад

Let make that effort. I'm 60 yrs old and sick & tired of converting. We all think decimal currency now, it took a while, but here we are. Once Britain is consistent we can start on the USA!!! ;)

You didn't actually even use them correctly, you're stating the KM number as miles, the Earth is 93m miles from the sun not 150m miles, it is 150m KM however.

@HenkJanBakker 7 лет назад

It would rather meta to see the 'British empire' work to... de- imperialise the world.

@nekogod 7 лет назад

More Human Than Human whilst technically true imperial is based on the length of barley corns which are not constant and uses random conversion 3 barleycorns in an inch 12 inches in a foot 3 feet in a yard 1760 yards to a mile etc metric is much better it is based on powers of 10 which are much easier to convert and the meter is based on the speed of light and the length of a second which are based on very stable atomic oscillations which are constant over long periods of time. I grew up with imperial in the UK and its not hard to see metric is the better more scientifically rigorous system even if it does take some getting used to

How has this channel managed to accrue such a horrible community in the comments? Educational videos are usually the one ones I scroll below the line to see what's down here, expecting a half-way intelligent conversation. I usually find that, but not on this channel, which is a shame.

@CarFreeSegnitz 7 лет назад

jaw72 So start a semi-intelligent conversation instead of griping and whining about the state of the world. "Be the change you want to see in the world".

@JawsBoris1072 7 лет назад

This is one. How some RU-vid communities descend into chaos while others can be friendly is an interesting topic.

@CarFreeSegnitz 7 лет назад

Discussing the sociology of the RU-vid comment section has to do with the scale of the solar system... how?

@JawsBoris1072 7 лет назад

And this comment, ladies and gentlemen, is Exhibit A. Here is someone needlessly flaming, trying to create an argument where there needn't be one. Discuss.

@Kievmaximus 7 лет назад

I would have thought it's due to people being more comfortable with being argumentative when hiding behind a screen.

TheAussieMonster 2 That only happened because Jeremy physically assaulted someone, I was sad to see him go too but at the same time he needed to face the consequences for his actions.

@ibdalia69 7 лет назад

Physical assaults happen all of the time, counselling and forgiveness was needed, we no longer watch

@De4thInc4rn4te16 7 лет назад

jeremy assaulted a guy, that then left the bbc and followed jeremy et all to amazon, jeremy getting kicked out of his bbc contract at the same time james and richards were due for renewal, of course it was just coincidental timing...

He mixed kilometres and miles several times. BTW, the scale of this model was 1 to 1 billion.

UK uses London buses as a form of measurement, australians use kangaroo, we, in france, we use the baguette. 1 baguette=65 cm. Distance from the earth and the sun : about 230 769 230 769 baguettes.
