Misconceptions: - "Sun is not a star, it's a sun" - "Smaller stars are more far away" - "Only stars and Moon shine at night, we can't see planets or galaxies in the night sky"
Actually...in a sense, we *are* at the center of the *visible* Universe. Beyond a certain distance, everything we see, i.e. galaxies, etc, are all rushing *away* from us, that literally puts us at the center of all we can see.
Yes, keep up the great work. Those are really high quality short documentaries. But I have to ask: why are misconceptions of others about the solar system (like classifying the wrong object as the farthest) "facts that actually matter"? I am by no means in favor of those, but I guess practically speaking, make-up tutorials have a much larger impact on our lives... They are just.. you know... boring and weird.
I didn't know the answer to the one asking whether or not Mercury was tidally locked to the sun but I surprisingly knew the rest them...Thanks, UA-cam! and thank you Astrum, I appreciate your channel since I discovered it recently.
Sorry, I knew all of these - but you did such a good job visually representing these phenomenon and objects that I enjoyed the video anyways 😃 Thanks for creating this content for us space-lovers 😂
I like the one about the seasons on Earth being related to our distance from the sun. Haha! Of course we know the angle of our planet is much more responsible than is the distance. However, distance shouldn't be ignored out of hand. Right now we are closer to the sun, but pointed away from it. Imagine how cold winter would be if we were farthest from the sun when we also pointed away from it, or closer to it when pointing right at it. Malenkovic cycles...
That point is not relative though - yes if we were further away, this parameter would change, but with our current distance, unchanging for the next million or so years, angle is the important factor. In a billion years the Sun will be larger, our orbit might be wider, axis may have changed, global warming will have increased - all factors which will eventually change seasons dramatically but not relevant within the context of the explanation.
I had a college professor once tell the entire class it was that I said no it's because of the tilt she that too but mostly because of the distance I stopped arguing at that point
Harold Kline ...tilt is secondary. Imagine if you will, if the earth had the same tilt but we were 50 million miles closer to, or further from the sun. In either case, the weather would be nothing like we have today, and life as we know it, would not exist. Now, if we were the same distance (Goldilocks Zone), from the sun, and you changed the inclination, it would definitely change our weather, for the better or for the worse, but we would still find the earth habitable, with temperatures, precipitation, and likely wind, within the same basic parameters we see today, give or take a bit, and obviously with geographical changes. Change our distance by a significant amount, and I can say with certainty, that would not be the case...
@Harold kline, that wouldn't change anything because Southern hemisphere already experiences that, winter in southern hemisphere is also when the earth is the furthest from the sun, and closest when it is summer.
@@extratropicalcyclone8567 I'm talking about when our orbital eccentricity is at maximum, not current conditions. We won't be around to experience this because it happens on such a large time scale.
I wonder how many years (not light years) would it take for some kind of "Voyager" probe to travel above and under The Milky Way galaxy and take a full picture of it, and how much time will it pass after that until we receive those images? :))
I dont think its possible unless we invent faster than light travel because the huge distance the signal will inseparable from background noise due to the inverse square law . But the video is going to be rad anyway
The halo of the milkyway is 165000 Ly. To get a reasonable view of field, you'd need to travel at least half the distance "above" (btw, there is no "above" or "under") the disk. Voyager has not even reached 0.1% of c so you can figure out how long it would take.
It would take more than 40,000 years for one of those probes to reach proxima centauri, which is our nearest celestial neighbor, so it would take millions of years to travel the kind of distance you're talking about.
@ Suicidal Lemon Just the simple fact that the tail of a comet allways points away from the Sun should be enough for flattards to realize they are deludly wrong lol
I wish i could see how large sun looks like if we stand on mercury, how does sun and sky looks like on mars, how small when on pluto. So unfortunate that we could never demonstrate that. It makes me so curious.
Astrum Wow bro! Then i think you would be the first one to do that ! Uptil now others have demonstrated on hypothetical situations like Saturn being close to earth or planets in general and how they would look like. And i think you deserve millions of subscribers because your videos are very informative.
Ｍ. ＭＡＨＡＪＡＮ I think if you were standing on Mercury, the Sun will still look small. Mercury is like 30+ million miles away from the Sun so it won't look much bigger than it does on Earth. (Not sure)...There is a video somewhere on youtube that shows how the sun will look from different planets. I would like this channel to do it better though.
@@astrumspace Yes :) I watched your video about Mercury, and loved the part when the Sun at noon goes backwards a little, but then I wondered - could it be that the sky at noon is nothing but the Sun on Mercury...
Thanks for the update. Sad she's not around, great voice. Look forward to your next video, I've already binge watched all your old ones, Need more brain candy!
Worst misconception is that it's "our" solar system. It does not belong to all of us; instead it only belongs to me! I'll let you rent a spot on Earth. :p
Clicking the link for Humblebee's UA-cam channel you posted in the description leads to a DEAD link. Doing a search on UA-cam for Humblebee's channel leads nowhere (as of this posting).
This. Earth actually has stronger gravity than Uranus, due to Uranus' low density coupled with it's relatively low mass in comparison to Jupiter for example. Also Neptune has, not stronger gravity, but a larger gravity well, than Jupiter, because of it's distance from the Sun. Neptune's reach is so far, it has a moon that orbits once every 25 years, longer than it takes Jupiter to orbit the sun.
First of all only Earth has gravity. The general term is gravitation. Second, yes, the more mass an object has, the larger its gravitation. You can find the gravitational parameters of all planets here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_gravitational_parameter Enjoy.
I don't wish to offend, but these videos are much more authentic without the ghastly corporate generic voiceover. You are not selling cosmetics. You are not advocating the US Republican Party. You are not a PR movie for an agro-chemical multi-national. I could not get past the first few seconds. I enjoyed your other videos.
It's not even a real person, is it? Sounds like a computer text-to-speech voice to me. Agreed though, it would be better with a decent voice over... I wonder what happened to Dick Rodstein? He was awesome!
The most common misconception is that the sun is a yellow star, as re-enforced several times in this video. It is a WHITE star, not light-yellow, yellow, orange or red. I hope you will depict the color accurately in future posts.
+Astrum ... Wikipedia - "The term yellow dwarf is a misnomer, because G-type stars actually range in color from white, for more luminous types like the Sun, to only very slightly yellow for the less massive and luminous G-type main-sequence stars. The Sun is in fact white, but appears yellow through Earth's atmosphere due to atmospheric Rayleigh scattering." That yellow dwarf classification is not based on color. Same case for brown dwarfs. There are no brown color stars. Also look up pics of white sun taken from space. Please stop misleading your audience and brush up on science.
Another major misconception is that planets trace 2 dimensional circular / elliptical orbits around the sun. The sun is in motion and is not a stationary star in space. So, planets trace 3d dimensional helical (spring shaped) orbits around a moving sun. Earth does not return to the same point in space after 365 days. The common reason given for the wrong orbital depiction is that, from the sun's perspective, planets do move around in circular / elliptical orbits. By this strange logic, we should then be teaching that the sun revolves around earth, from earth perspective. But no one does that any longer, do they ? Perspective is a silly argument.
The sun appears white when viewed outside the atmosphere, but it emits most strongly in the 500nm band of the visible spectrum which technically makes it a blue-green star.
2. Comets do have tail when far away from the sun. It's been observed when the comet has not entered the inner solar system. Other comets have been close to the sun with no tail. Easy to Google.
That's very likely true. Comets are not made of dirty ice, they are made of rock, and sputter material in an electrical reaction to the solar wind. Which is a current of charged particles flowing from the sun. It's reasonable to assume that this reaction occurs throughout the solar system, since the solar wind pushes out to the Heliopause. The reaction is just less energetic, and therefore less visible at the greater distances of the outer solar system.
A common misconception most astronomers and astrophysicists have is that Pluto does not meet all classifications that make it a planet, when it actually does. Not to mention it's geologically active and has more moons than all other rocky planets in our solar system combined. Thusly meeting all the following criteria: 1.) It is in orbit around the Sun. 2.) It has sufficient mass to assume hydrostatic equilibrium (a nearly round shape). 3.) It has “cleared the neighborhood” around its orbit.
#11 If you flew to space near Venus, you'd see the Magellan radar map version (no clouds, everything is orange and white). #12 Pluto grey/white because it's made of ice.
Here is one. I think most people have a misconception of how the moon orbits the earth. this video explains this ua-cam.com/video/7PRs8bvGrsA/v-deo.html
Misconception #1- The sun has a giant nuclear reactor at it's core. The sun is an Electrical discharge phenomena, the activity is all located at the surface, as the mass of hydrogen and other elements try to balance their charge potential with the local stellar environment. All the fusion occurs in the solar atmosphere and the heavy elements settle into the core under the force of gravity. Check out the Electric Universe Theory, and look into the Thunderbolts Project for further and better explanations of this process.

This is all basic 101 type stuff to any person reasonably interested science and astronomy specifically.
Misconceptions:
- "Sun is not a star, it's a sun"
- "Smaller stars are more far away"
- "Only stars and Moon shine at night, we can't see planets or galaxies in the night sky"
DeeARTIST Jewelry the sun is a yellow dwarf star so it’s a star
