18:46 "And it tells us that Earth would plunge into the Sun in about 0.01767 years, or 64.5 days." But there's an extra zero. It should be 0.1767 years.
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.
22:37 "... in the distant past would have been much more frequent and of longer duration." But the computer voice screws up the word "much". That's the giveaway. This is not a human narrator.
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.
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.
@@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 same is true of Venus as well; it has a 243-Earth-day-long day versus a 225-Earth-day-long year. Not that the video mentioned Venus, come to think of it. But i didn't want you to think Mercury was unique in this regard.
They think now there was a natural ring system around Earth about 460 million or so years ago, but it was unstable over time and wore away over a relatively short time.
Ok I loved this video and the one about double planet blew my mind !!!! Thanks for this video !!! and they need to show this video in school I learned more about the solar system with it then I ever knew! 👍👍👍👍👍
Title of this video didn't apply to me very well. I already quite thoroughly knew 9 out of these 10 facts, the one exception being the one about Stickney Crater and cosmic rays. But then I am an old science nerd to begin with and planetary astronomy is my biggest academic interest of all (and has been virtually my entire life).
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?
Actually, if you stick with the original definition of a planet as an object that orbits the Sun as its primary, there are thousands of planets with uncounted numbers of them yet to be discovered.
@@josephnash2081 Actually that is not the original definition of a planet either. 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.
@Crazy-Clown-In-Town yes, but the video was for English speaking people, and I would gather more specifically for US people. The target audience would be good with imperial. No, wait! That would mean we are joining the sith?
I know for a fact theres no other life in our solar systrm if there were dollargeneralwould have built stores every 5 miles or ever how many kilometers along the way
@@axelmalone Nope there's 8 planets plus bunch of dwarf-planets buddy. Just like Pluto, planetoids like Haumea, Eris, Makemake etc. are classified as dwarf-planets according to International astronomical union. You need an update of your knowledge about the Solar system.
I totally get what the two comments are saying when they say there are not 9 planets there are 8 and you are absolutely right it's just there's alot of us out there who were brought up with there are 9 planets meaning Pluto is the 9th however for myself say I totally get what your saying and the science of why Pluto was demoted. It's just a case of not being able to except that this has happened that's what it really is, as like I said I understand the science it's just hard for some of us to except. Regards from the UK
Ok, skip the kilometers part. I understand miles, the decimal system, they tried to jam that down our throats back in the 70's. It didn't take. If I want to learn European things, I will go to Europe. I'm staying put in USA.
@@earth2006you do know that all scientists (including scientists and engineers in the US) use the metric system and it's not just in Europe? In fact only 3 countries in the world use imperial based units that you love so much.
@enadegheeghaghe6369 good for them. If I ever become a European or whatever scientist, I worry about it then. Just because everyone does something doesn't really make it correct. Historical data points to that, especially if something is motivated by someone else's politics and normal, those politics depend on blind allegiances to someone who may not necessarily actually have my best needs in mind. World history also shows that, alot.
@earth2006 wtf are you on about? Any one who has studied any scientific field to an advanced degree would know that the metric system makes a lot more sense. Even the US government recognizes that the metric system is superior. That's why all your miles, ounces and inches are all denominated and defined using the metric system. Google the US beareau of weights and measures and see how these units are defined. Also this UA-cam channel is not meant for Americans alone. People watch it from all over the world and their preferences for measurement systems are every bit as valid as yours. Insisting that this UA-camr should not use the metric system because you personally hate it shows an almost unbelievable level of arrogance and entitlement
@enadegheeghaghe6369 my car mileage is measured in miles. Almost all signs on our interstate are measured in miles. I'm 6'1. I'm not saying one is superior to the other. You're right they (the government) tried to jam it down our throats back in the '70s, and it didn't take doubt if it ever will. Just because everyone does something that does make it easier or correct. If everyone on the planet were forced to convert by force to a particular religion not known for its beauty and kindness, should I have to ?. Nope, it's not going to happen. This is'nt a issue. I'm quite happy to stay with what I'm used to in the United States. To use your word, I'm entitled to my ongoing pursuit of my own personal choices and happiness. I've never asked anyone to change anything that's not hurting anyone else. I shouldn't be asked to be bothered to change anything in my life that's really not hurting anyone.
A comment about the structure of the video: Different measurements for distance, kilometers and miles, do not both need to be stated if both are posted visually. If both are posted visually, one only need to choose and stated one measurement. Yikes.
@@johnbyrne4438 yeap... that was my first reaction too, as I started watching, and came to comment but noticed this 🙂 Also, the narration is a bit screamy. It could be toned down or modulated a bit. 🙏 Two thumbs up for the content, though 👍👍
