- This is a scale model of our solar system. Sun and planet sizes and distances from the sun are exactly to scale.

My main takeaway was Americans have really big back yards
As soon as the sun was a whopping 5.9" I was like, he's not going to be able to contain this in a yard!
This is an awesome video, and may the algorithm bless you this day!
That is one hell of a back yard, holy moly.
I will adapt this for my astronomy seminar tho, thank you for the inspiration!
This is excellent, thank you for the demonstration!
You're very welcome!
The best and most graphic explanation of the real distances between planets I've ever seen. Thank you.
Great job of illustrating the massiveness of our solar system! It makes me wonder how the sun's gravity is strong enough to influence objects that are so far away. (among a million other questions that come to mind!).
I don't have such questions, because I understand the maths that clearly give those answers, our universe it clearly explained in those equations, I have a clear understanding in them yet I still have to talk to annoying people that don't, to try to make them understand why they are wrong in many things.
I'm don't have anything against you, you are humble and were just saying that without claiming anything about me, but you reminded me that the people that I "talk" with keep insulting me and wasting my time, have the same understanding as you, only that they are also arrogant and rude
I tip my hat to you for using the right shade of blue for neptune.
Maybe do a roadtrip to the next solar system? And explain that solar system (if possible)
Very interesting and well done video. Hope it receives as many views as it deserves. 🙂
because the size to distance is so separated I personally like the dual scale model where sizes are 1:1B and distances are 1:1T, I think it does both jobs well at the same time while keeping it at a reasonable size. anyway this is still very cool!
This is actually incredible. Such a simple demonstration but so effective. This is best solar system scale video to date. An your back yard is huge!
Thank you very much for this share of knowledge 👍👍
This is the video we all needed.
This is absolutely amazing! The only thing I miss from the video is Pluto. I still see it as a planet. But still, this is wonderful, this video brings those retro Solar System scale model vibes back!
semi planet, titan ganymede europa and even the moon are more of a planet than Pluto
@@NeroDefogger I mean they orbit other planets, so they're subplanets. I have a border at 2000 kms, everything spherical above it is a planet to me
@@PlatinaHold the radius of ganymede titan and callisto is above 2000km and the diameter of europa io and the moon are above 2000km, and everything orbits something while at the same time orbits don't change the properties of any object, only how they move in space, so they really should be planets, but I don't know if pluto should be
@@NeroDefogger Than they are planets indeed! But since they orbit other planets and they're smaller than the planet they orbit I like to call them moons or subplanets
@@NeroDefogger About the Pluto and Charon system, I see it as a planet - dwarf planet system
"no one can be a farmer AND an astronomer" *this guy*
Awesome video! Really puts things in perspective! Crazy that we've figured out the calculations to send satellites to go see these distant wanderers!
I really loved the birds eye view and the exercise book connection. Everyone can relate to those book diagrams. To see them as they really could be was interesting.
If Sun is a size of a grain of sand. Next star will be in 30 km
Loved the scale ( the model and the info is good ) BUT THE BACKYARD WHAT IS THAT BACKYARD, THAT SO BIG
Very informative and really puts things into perspective.
Thank you for this video, I really enjoyed it! I gasped when you revealed the distance to scale to Proxima Centauri - it is truly mind-boggling. Keep up the good work, I have subscribed!
Thank you. Yes, mind boggling is a good way to describe the distances in outer space. We are very, very alone out here in our little corner of the Milky Way.
Saturn has a hexagon at the pole which is wild! It must be a sign of something.
WHAT THE HELL? YOUR BACKYARD IS HUGE
Yea, that back part where Jupiter and Saturn are is pretty big. I only mow back there about twice per summer because it's a bit bumpy and takes a couple hours to mow.
There is no way that mankind would reach to the closest star system
If I was a teacher I would show this to school kids that’s fun
very cool
Thank u sir for this amazing video
Really informative and interesting video
Missed opportunity to add Ceres or even Pluto
Nice video thank you!
Excellent demonstration and model. I would just point at two mistakes. Your model of Sun should be perfectly white. Sun is not yellow. It gives off white light, it has no hue and is a standard against which whiteness is measured.
Also, when discussing composition of Uranus and Neptune, "water ice, ammonia ice and methane ice"are misleading pleonasms. _Ice_ in planetary geology has a different meaning. It is a synonym for _volatiles_ and means chemical composition, not state of matter. Water, ammonia, methane, nitrogen, those are already _ices_ in this terminology. As for their state of matter, they are far from being solid or cold. Gaseous at the tops of these planets (with occasional solids in form of cirruses), these materials turn into a supercritical fluid because temperature quickly rises above critical one and no matter what kind of pressure is applied, they will not liquefy. Insides of all giants planets are hot, pressurized, dense supercritical fluids. Abrupt transition in form of phase boundary, such as with Earth's water ocean, does not exist.
Once again, excellent model. You're lucky to have so much space available. :)
Thank you for your reply! I used a white light bulb in the sun but you’re right it does have a slight yellow hue in the video.
As for your explanation of the state of matter in the ice giants, WOW! I really appreciate your depth of knowledge. It’s very interesting stuff.
Making this video has given me a better appreciation for the probes that were sent out to explore these planets. They have yielded so much information. It is very important that NASA continue to send probes. Thanks again.
🤯
0:21 396 BILLION YEARS?!?!?!?!?!?
Backyard????? Call it a National Park!!!
How far in the field would you have had to have gone to illustrate kuiper belt objects
*applaud*
So...the 8 planets have never lined up. Nor will ever line up.
RIP Pluto
Yea, I decided to omit Pluto because it’s no longer on the “planet list” and it’s only about 1/3 the size of Mercury! Well, you saw how small I had to make Mercury to fit my scale. Also, I learned that Pluto actually tracks inside Neptune’s orbit for a portion of its orbit.
Thanks for commenting. 😀
@@rodneybrocke Pluto is a planet, facts!
@@sagesolomon8070Care more about the cool facts about Pluto, not it's planet status
I recreated the same model using a sun only 3mm in diameter, and it still stretched over 12 metres. Total nonsense
😂😂 Now explain how that sun has enough gravitational pull to keep hold of the furthest planets away, all while not pulling any of the nearest planets into it. Total nonsense. All planets(wondering stars) celestial bodies are all local and within a local sky, much much smaller than what is claimed in the ridiculous globe theory.

The moment of the planets is why they are not pulled. This should be basic knowledge. 🤦♂
yeah that doesn't prove or explain anything. It's all nonsense.
@sl1fer1 Oh, really now. So, what do you think is keeping the Moon from smashing into Earth? I would love to hear it. Go ahead!
@@sl1fer1said the one whose group said Australia is a non-existent continent 😂
