Some of the planets in our Solar System are gigantic. But what if they got even bigger? Let’s go up the planetary size chart and see what kind of chaos doubling the size of every planet would make. What would it be like to live on a super-Earth? How big would Jupiter need to get to become a star? And would Pluto finally regain its planetary status?

If Earth doubled in size without changing it's mass it's gravity would be 1/4 g on the surface, to double gravity earth would have to weight 8 times more. But since they keep everything simple in this video it would mean earth mass is doubled so in result we would weight 1/2 of our current mass.

@scotthoward3470 Год назад

First, I just want to say that I love this channel! It’s my new favorite space content channel, even if it’s not space science per se. But I think that’s also one of the challenges that I see as both a subscriber and a viewer of this channel. Statements are regularly made (either via voiceover or on-screen titles) at the beginnings of videos, and later on within the videos, that are not factual. They are speculative in nature. Here’s an example: “This is what WOULD happen if…” and then the main focus of the video fills in the blank. I think it’s important to realize that what you’re providing to viewers is largely conjecture (in other words, a guess, or a speculation). With all of the videos that I’ve watched so far on this channel, I don’t believe that there is any scientific method available that would definitively prove your hypothesis for any given subject (in this instance, we have no scientific means of actually doubling the size of a planet). Obviously, you’re drawing on existing scientific theory to extrapolate what MIGHT happen or what COULD happen, but in fairness, it’s not necessarily what WOULD happen. Does that make sense? I think that by simply changing “would” to either “could” or “might” you would be keeping the premise of the videos the same, but be more factually correct. By saying “would,” you’re making an empirical statement of fact, without possibly knowing if it’s true or not (even though it could be true based on current scientific theory). I think that this one change would serve subscribers and viewers better, and be more authentic in the process. Other than that, keep up the good work! You do an amazing job of entertaining, and I appreciate the great depth of the variety of video clips that you use for each video, as well as the incorporation of scientific theory. Great editing too! I would just caution you to not make definitive statements on your premise for any given topic, but rather clearly articulate that your premise is speculation.

@Seek_35 Год назад

Pluto would still need to clear it's orbit before anything to become a planet. Size is just a side factor among many reasons, and Plutos orbit isn't exactly clean. Also if it got big enough it'd collide with Charon which is orbiting the same point of mass or whatever it's called alongside Pluto, very close to it actually. So an increase of mass might doom Pluto since it'd collide with a dwarf planet.

@dimensio_italian_magician Год назад

Charon isn't a dwarf planet lol

@Seek_35 Год назад

@@dimensio_italian_magician It's the same size as one, and since it isn't orbiting Pluto exactly it's not a moon, so I'd consider it a dwarf planet.

Just because a planet increases its volume by a factor of 2 doesn't mean that all other variables increase in a linear fashion (i.e., increase by a factor of 2 as well).

@LendriMujina Год назад

This is making a lot of assumptions for the sake of simplicity. Most notably, it's assuming the planets maintain their current density (which means matter appearing out of nowhere, but this is a what-if after all).

@alparslankorkmaz2964 Год назад

Nice video.

@hunterneitzel3012 9 месяцев назад

If mass remains the same, gravity is cut in half as the distance between the centers doubled. But let's say that mass increased proportional to size. Square cube law states that if an object is double it's size, if it is the same density, it's mass would increase by 8 times. If this happened earth would be 8 times as massive if it's size doubled. But while the Rocky planets of the solar system becomes 8 times as massive, as their density would remain the same, gas planets are confusing. Neptune and Uranus doubled in size would have be have to be equivalent in mass to saturn if their radius doubled, but Jupiter is just about as big as it could be. A planet 8 times Jupiter's mass would just be more dense than Jupiter but be around the same radii. If Jupiter or Saturn's radii truly doubled, at that point, we'd be entering brown dwarf or small star territory

What if water of all oceans become fresh??? and What if all planet's size got halved??

@LendriMujina Год назад

If all oceans became freshwater, almost all of Earth's marine life would die, and quite painfully. The problem is that fish's bodies expect the salt content inside and outside their bodies to be roughly equal. Water tends to move towards places with higher salt concentrations due to osmosis. A saltwater fish in freshwater would absorb too much of the water around it, and its cells would explode like overstuffed water balloons (hypotonicity). On the other end, a freshwater fish in saltwater would have all of their moisture stolen by the salt surrounding them and dehydrate (hypertonicity).

Well if Jupiter doubled in size… (my prediction before the episode starts) Jupiter becomes a sun. But are we talking about doubling in mass? Can something become bigger but still have the same amount of mass? Like a planet double in size but still be the same density as it’s original size?

@DeadBryan 8 месяцев назад

Giant to giant than ever Earth and solar system would be completely different

@luchiandacian8815 Год назад

Doubling in mass will be unnoticed but doubling the radius means that the mass is two to power of 3 like the volume. What is double for our eyes is in fact 8 times bigger. As the pressure in the middle of the planets will be also higher, possible the mass will be even bigger. Jupiter will be very close to become a star if the mass will be at least 13 times bigger.
