    The planets are falling into the Sun, but never hit the Sun - this is called orbit: a perpetual state of falling. Because the Sun is always moving (at an alarming rate), the planets are 'chasing' the Sun, but never catching it. From our perspective, this is an 'orbit'. The same thing with the moon - falling, but constantly missing, because the Earth as always moving. If the Earth were to stop moving, the Moon will reach the Earth. This works the same way as cyclones, on Earth ; the air is always chasing the low pressure system, but never catching it, because its always moving. The only reason why the air would, eventually, catch up to the center is because of friction. In Space, there is no friction, so the planets, and their satellites, will 'chase' until the Sun expires.

    Triton is not only a retrograde orbiting moon of Neptune, it's also on a death spiral getting closer and closer to Neptune and destroying all the other moons between it and Neptune as it goes to it's inevitable collision with Neptune. What a destructive moon.

    • @jasontoddman7265
      @jasontoddman7265 27 днів тому

      Not the only one. Deimos is in a similar death spiral around Mars because it is too close. Good thing Mars has no dinosaurs or they'd wrecked just like Earth's dinos were, eventually.

      @jasontoddman7265 it is getting closer to mars, but will never reach it. because of its mass and size, which is relatively small, it will disintegrate way before, reaching the Roche's limit and form a ring around Mars, till it coalesce again to next moon version.

    • @jasontoddman7265
      @jasontoddman7265 25 днів тому

      @@shadfhad Yes I know; I was just making a (weak apparently) attempt at humor. You are incorrect in one aspect of Phobos' fate though I believe. Phobos will never re-coalesce after it breaks apart; it's fragments would have to somehow spiral further out from Mars in order to do that and that would require a lot of energy they're not going to get barring a massive collision from another body.
      Rather, the prevailing theory is that the pieces of Phobos will continue to spiral into Mars and crash into it one by one over another few million years (or less); destroying the ring again as they all fall onto Mars and leave new craters. This is the same thing that is believed will happen to the rings of Saturn only that will take much longer as those rings are much bigger and much more massive, and of course no craters. This will also be the eventual fate of Triton (just when is uncertain as yet I think; I hear widely different estimates from different sources), which if anything should make an even grander ring (relatively speaking to Uranus's size, if not necessarily the rings') than Saturn's while it lasts. There is to my knowledge no back and forth between being a solid moon and scattered pieces except in the cases where a moon was shattered in a collision and reformed without falling out of orbit, as nearly happened to Mimas and may have happened with one or more of the moons around Uranus. And sort of what happened to the planet that collided with Earth and formed Luna from the debris that blew back out into space; at least according to some theories on the matter.

      @@crabring Maybe it simply took that long, and we are just lucky enough to live in a time to see Triton before it happens. Also, we don't know how long ago got trapped into its current situation; it may have been more recent than we currently think. Even if not, it's obviously in no hurry; we're just lucky enough to know about it ahead of time. They think now that Saturn's rings are relatively recent and formed from a somewhat smaller, icier body that Humanity missed seeing the formation of but are lucky enough to see the results while they are still spectacular.

    The problem with Phobos' hypothetical base would be that it would have an almost nonexistent gravity because of its size.
    I find it interesting, maybe a bit annoying, that when I was growing up 50+ years ago, we said something was 1/400 the size of the sun, where as (like at 20:15), it's 400 times smaller than the sun. I may be, very likely, majoring on a minor, but that still sounds weird to me. Any other old people out there who feel the same?

The original definition was any object in the sky that moved independently of the 'fixed stars' through the sky; regardless of its relation to the sun (as no one at the time knew any of the planets orbited the sun; they thought everything revolved around the Earth itself). So that original definition of 'planet' included the sun and the moon and excluded the Earth itself. This did not change until the Heliocentric Theory replaced the Geocentric Theory only four to five centuries ago.
