You should teach in schools! You're an outstanding professor! You're able to convey information in a way even normal people can understand! Complimenti per la sua bravura professore!
5 Billion years of history condensed into 12 mins. Thank you! Excellent content. Would like to know more about the protoplanetary disk formation. Namely what is the mechanism that, 1) Helps the dust and matter to accumulate into a cloud, and 2) What kick starts the formation of its center (where said center eventually experiences fusion and becomes a star \ center of a new solar system).
The video animation quality is too good and it helped me in understanding the concept in best manner. The audio is perfect and I like that you have displayed the important information that need more attention. There were many information about solar system which was every new to me and it added an extra knowledge about solar system and it's structure.
So glad I came across your videos. Even though I don't have the knowledge to understand completely, I think I have a better idea of how things work in space. Thanx!
@vladimir putin is andrei panin - russian actor you wouldnt have to go to space to prove the heliocentric model. There are countless way that you can wrap your mind around it right here from earth that doesnt even take complex math or anything. I'll link you to some videos if you'd care to learn.
Loved your explanation of the formation of the protoplanetary disk, and the coalescing into sun and planets. You have keen powers of description and explanation - thanks!
Incredible that in around two hundred thousand years our species has evolved from a hunter-gatherer hominid to being able to understand the world and origin of our species, evolution truly is amazing.
@@ProfessorDaveExplains Yes you're correct Dave, counting from a modern human it is around ten thousand, even more amazing. Why some people want to downplay this achievement by using the lazy catch-all God did it is an anathema.
I don't ... Pluto was naughty when he was going into areas he's not supposed to, like crossing Neptune's path around the sun or deviating from the orbital plane - that's not how to behave for a proper planet. :)
Salma Ahmed: Pluto is still where it was before! (In orbit around the Sun). It just got demoted to a dwarf planet. Because it has not accreted all the other mass in its orbit. In the other two requirements, spherical due to its mass and in orbit around the sun, it has made the grade.
It may be a sensible re-categorization by itself, but its practical effect is that children know that much less about the solar system. We should be going in the opposite direction by mentioning every significant part of the system in every model. Children growing up today should know the belts, dwarves, and large moons (at least the 4 larger than our moon, or the 6 larger than Pluto) as well as their parents knew the 9 planets.
Hello from Vietnam! I am a Chemistry student. My question is that the planets and the sun are both spherical (symmetrical). But why is the planets' orbits not circular?
1. The planets are almost never perfectly spherical or symmetrical. For example the Earth is slightly stretched because there is a reaction force stretching it out due to the centripetal force (force of gravity from the sun) 2. In order to have a circular orbit, you have to have exactly the right conditions when the orbit forms and there has to be no interaction with other bodies that could stretch out the orbit into an ellipse. I recommend you play Kerbal Space Program it will make you understand how orbits work.

the coronavirus is not a virus, it's a family of viruses. Coronaviruses existed for a long time. Also, it's crown in Spanish. This joke is so bad, lmao.
I love brushing up on some of these details, you do a great job explaining. one thing that is rarely explained though, that would be interesting to have more extensive details on, is How the planets are made out of different materials and how atmospheres form. and if we know, why do they form differently ?
Question: Since the entire star-forming process begins with a massive "ball of gas," does the protostar begin fusion and become a star before or after the protoplanetary disk has already flattened out?
Well when we say the disk is flat, it still could be as thick as the diameter of the star, it's just roughly in a plane as opposed to a spherical swarm of particles.
Definetly is, if we ever reach it is not that obvious. I think that if we ever meet alien life, it will either be just simple bacteria like thing, and, in case of intelligent life, they will not have super advanced technology and stuff like shown in most sci-fi, but we will be the super advanced ones that they dream about. Of course the sci-fi "they are advanced" scenario might also happen.
And By the Way. The Collapsed Cloud of Gas and Heavy Elements. That was Spinning into a Flat Circle Disk Shaped. Is Not Just Called a Protoplanetray Disk. Planets That Going Around in Circles Around Stars. Are Formed from Spinning Rings of Gas and Spinning Rings of Dust Around Newly Born Stars are Called Circumstellar Disks. Planets Formed from Circumstellar Disks. Not Just Protoplanetary Disks
A little doubt here: if the solar system formed from the same gas cloud, how is it that the Sun is made mainly from hydrogen and helium but the planet have a completely different composition (at least in the distribution amount of their different elements)? (Great series btw👍).
As Dave said, the Solar System was formed from a cloud of elements that were produced by some supernova. That cloud contained mostly hydrogen and helium, but also some amount of heavier elements which are now in both the planets and the Sun. The Sun actually has more of *everything* in it, including the heavier elements-not just hydrogen and helium. The difference between the Sun and the planets is that the planets’ lower gravity prevented them from holding their hydrogen and helium, so they lost it, whereas the Sun still contains most of the hydrogen and helium it initially had. Also remember that the Sun is a bit older than all of the planets and finished forming before them and before all of the solid material coalesced and “cleared out.” The Sun has always been hot enough to pretty much destroy, melt, absorb, burn, etc. any solid material that goes into it. The early planets could not do the same thing, which is why they all have solid material, at least in their centers, whereas the Sun is entirely gas and plasma.
Great video, Professor Dave. Quick Question: Has anybody seen what the sun looks like from the poles? I'm wondering if the magnetic fields and convective currents make the surface look different (like Saturn or Jupiter) and if that can give us insight into the structure of the Sun. Thanks.
Well certainly people have seen the sun from the poles, as thousands of people have been to the poles, but I'm not really sure what would make the sun look different from that vantage point. It's just its apparent path through the sky that is radically different.
@@ProfessorDaveExplains : My apologies, I meant if we have ever gone over the Suns polar region to see what the surface looks like on its axis of rotation. When we (collectively) did that with Jupiter and Saturn, we saw unique layer interactions and patterns that are helping us to understand the atmosphere of those planets.
Oh duh, you meant what do the sun's poles look like. A quick googling turned up the conclusion that they are not well-studied, only one probe has flown over them and it didn't have imaging technology, but we still have a bit of information about them. Hopefully something to study in the future!
@vladimir putin is andrei panin - russian actor : yes, the Earth is round. I know this for three reasons: I am a wireless engineer and have to align point-to-point satellite links between distant towers and have to accommodate for the curvature in all my long distance calculations, I have watched a sunset in the mountains and seen the UNDERSIDE of the clouds lit up while the top of them was dark (meaning the Sun must be lower than the clouds, and therefore invalidate the flat earth hypothesis), and lastly: I'm a normal, rational Human without paranoid delusions who also understands the scientific method.
Distances are likely covered in another video... Although the following trick is not very accurate, I find it helpful to use a perceived pattern in the distances which helps greatly in visualizing distances between the planets, including the Asteroid Belt. The pattern is simply that each planet's orbit is roughly twice the distance from the Sun as the previous planet's orbit. The trick is to count the Asteroid Belt as being part of this pattern, despite it not being a planet, itself. So, using this pattern, we can assume that Venus is twice as far from the Sun as Mercury... Earth is twice as far from the Sun as Venus... Mars... The Belt... Jupiter, etc. Again, not accurate for scientific use, but close enough to realize that our solar system is a lot bigger than most humans think. This works with radio communications as well. We know that the light from the Sun reaches us in about 8 minutes... and that our coms work at close to light-speed, we can therefore assume that a com signal to and from Mars would take at least 8 minutes each way, since it is as far from us as we are from the Sun. Of course, none of the planets is stationary, and we could be on opposite sides of our respective orbits, making those distances vary greatly. But this method is still useful to me in visualizing the scale of it all. Hope it helps others see it too. Thanks for another great video, Prof. Dave! Cheers from the Great White North! ;-]
So big stars dies, explode like fire-works, spewing out dusts all over, settles again, condense, form into another stars, explode again, and repeat indefinitely until there is no more fuel and so spaced out.

Little about Planetary (especially Jupiter & Saturn ) Migration (see Nice Model), necessary to understand formation & current locations of the planets. Falsely implies that the planets formed where they exist today. Perhaps not yet generally accepted?
@@nickbisson8243 there's a video where a guy demonstrates how much we have to travel to Alpha Centauri if the earth is shrunk to 1mm. I find that really really crazy too!
Ya but our sun is very special, there is no other like it observed in our galaxy (maybe other galaxies too), its the right size, right age, in the right place in the galaxy, right composition, most stable, it has just the right amount of rocky planets and gas giant planets, so much so that it harbors a planet with a huge abundance of life. ( I don,t wanna hear anyone talking shit about our sun, I don't wanna have to come over there)
At 10:29 you say that every atom on earth except for hydrogen was fused inside a star, but what about helium and lithium isotopes produced by big bang nucleosynthesis? There should be a fair number of those too, right?
@@ProfessorDaveExplains I guess you mention helium being inert because its lightness in elemental form makes it easy for it to have escaped into space over the lifetime of the earth, in contrast with hydrogen which remains bound in various much heavier compounds.
The average star is red, so ours is a bit special. The majority of stars exist in binary systems, so ours is a bit more special still. The majority of planetary systems we’ve observed have their gas giants on the inside, closest orbits, and ours seem to be the opposite of that norm. I could keep on listing reasons why our star is strangely unique all day, but scientists don’t seem to like thinking of our solar system is special in any way, on an almost personal level. Something to do with a theo-phobic instinct, it seems.
Why would a spinning cloud of dust reduce to a 'protoplanetary disk'? If gravity + rotation causes gas/particles to reduce to a disk, then the gas planets should be disks and not spheres
3:30 The Venus' revolution is wrong... While every planet revolves around the sun in anticlockwise manner, Venus revolves in the clockwise direction. Right??
Great video. Aren't the inner rockies called "terrestrial" and the outer gas giants "Jovian"? I believe I remember that from when I was in elementary school.
How is that earth came to be the only inhabital planet in the solar system?.How did the solar system come to function together?.Planets rotating around the sun,spinning on an axis,with or without moons.Lunar cycles,weather systems on earth.And for the horoscope people,each planet has its own meaning,and how it effects eartlings.It all came by chance?.
*It all came by chance?* Yup it was chance... right conditions, right time. For now we don't know how life is rare in our universe, because we have only one planet to study. Maybe right conditions aren't so uncommon.
*Lunar cycles,weather systems on earth.* Lunar cycles weren't same as nowadays, as Moon was closer to Earth, thus Earth days were shorter. ps. horoscope is pure bul_sh_t.

Ossum video. Like👍 to see it.. 👍👌👌
Great video. Aren't the inner rockies called "terrestrial" and the outer gas giants "Jovian"? I believe I remember that from when I was in elementary school.
Jovian refers specifically to Jupiter, that's coming up soon!
Professor Dave Explains Thank you, professor! Have a great day.
How is that earth came to be the only inhabital planet in the solar system?.How did the solar system come to function together?.Planets rotating around the sun,spinning on an axis,with or without moons.Lunar cycles,weather systems on earth.And for the horoscope people,each planet has its own meaning,and how it effects eartlings.It all came by chance?.
*It all came by chance?*
Yup it was chance... right conditions, right time. For now we don't know how life is rare in our universe, because we have only one planet to study. Maybe right conditions aren't so uncommon.
*Lunar cycles,weather systems on earth.*
Lunar cycles weren't same as nowadays, as Moon was closer to Earth, thus Earth days were shorter.
ps. horoscope is pure bul_sh_t.
