In 8th grade, I did a scale model of the solar system. This included scale distance. In order to keep all the planets within school grounds, I had to make my sun the size of a tennis ball, and all my planets were nothing more than a speck of sand (or smaller). Mercury, Venus and Earth were in the Auditorium, where my sun was. Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus were in the Hall. Neptune in the Gym, and Pluto (which was still a planet when I was a kid) was placed just barely on school grounds, in the baseball field). I haven't done the math recently, but I want to say it was just around 1000 feet from my scale sun. My science teacher said it was the coolest solar system model she had ever seen.
That's so cool! I wanna do that
the scale model of anything in the universe is the hardest thing ever. the nearest star would be about 1500 km (900 miles) away
It's so big that it's own gravitational field is keeping it alive.
Here is my script for this video:
INTRO
"So how big is the sun?"
"Huge"
OUTRO
Jason W. Morningwood My jimmies have been educated.
Jason W. Morningwood What about *VY Canis Majoris?*
Ragnarockalypse
INTRO
"So how big is VY Canis Majoris"
"Ludicrously humongous multiplied by a factor of 6.9"
Outro
Jason W. Morningwood Excellent! Though I just made a search and found out that UY Scuti is even bigger than that. The Universe is OP.
Ragnarockalypse At that point you just change the multiplier accordingly ;)
How big is the Sun ? Answer - fucking huge.
+II DIRECTx II look up VY Canis Majoris
Beef Master Just blows your mind how big some of the stars are out there and how far away they are. Considering how big they are we still can't see them without high powered telescopes, this just gives us a tiny idea how huge our galaxy is, nevermind how big the universe is. Simply amazing.
II DIRECTx II Yeah watching some of those videos which compare star sizes with our own Sun literally scare me and fascinate me, theres so much out there we don't know about .
+II DIRECTx II yuuuuuge!!!
13333333337 meters tall
wait so how bigs the sun
454ffv Mass: 1.989E30 kg
Radius: 695,800 km (1 R☉)
454ffv well if its radius is 10x of that of Jupiter, then it's about 1000 times bigger than Jupiter.
Shakih Sokamer maybe
454ffv i think we just cant really scale these things mentally anyway. we can understand the immensity but like lets say we can picture a meter we cant picture a million meters. so its really impossible for any of us to really scale of a continent let alone something even bigger.
still i reckon we could get closer to really picturing it if wed use virtual reality and tinker with things like the distance between the earth and the sun reduced to the distance of the moon. how does the sky and horizon look then.
***** Actually you _can_ just cube it!
If you scale up any object x times in 3D space it's volume will go up x^3 times.
If you don't believe me try this:
Volume of Jupiter is: (4/3)* pi* (R^3) [where R is radius of Jupiter]
The Sun has 10 times the radius, which is 10*R
Therefore the volume of the Sun is: (4/3)* pi* (10*R)^3
Which is: (4/3)* pi* (R^3)* (10^3)
You can see that this is just 10^3 times the volume of Jupiter!
Wait so if I put a pie in the sky about 30 ft. Up IT WILL HAVE THE SAME TIDAL FORCES OF THE MOON?!?!?!
+Michael Guiliano this is the best comment ive seen all day
not sure but i think you're missing this one: "In fact, any two objects of ROUGHLY THE SAME DENSITY...."
+Hazardeur stone ball then
Yeah the identical apparent size and identical pull seem to be unrelated in reality. The gravitational force of an object is supposed to be proportional to its mass, regardless of size, and also, given the same density, mass is NOT proportional to size, it goes up exponentially (that and a hydrogen based star is definitely not dense compared to a chunk of rock.).
The fact the moon has the same gravitational pull as the sun has nothing to do with its identical apparent size but only a combination of mass and distance, and could be explained by saying the only "stable" orbital distance where the moon could settle was with equal pull from the sun and earth.
However, calling the identical apparent size of the sun and moon a mere coincidence sounds to me at best like lazy science. Some scientists just don't like admitting they don't know something like it was something to be ashamed of.
EXACTLY
How Big Is The Sun?
Second Answer: Like, Big. Really big.
Mansen I'm partial to 'Pretty fucking big'.
Alfredo Marquez unfortunately in a family friendly video i wouldnt say that even though i probably swear way more that you
Mansen Nothin on this beast!!!
i.imgur.com/7aYbwwY.png
Mansen "Space," says the introduction to The Hitchhiker's Guide, "is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is," and so on.
Skeletor Jopko Good times, good...times.
Now THIS is the kinda MinutePhysics I remember!
Me after the quick scientific calculations towards the end of the video:
".........what?"
Yeah he's rushing through the videos now. I don't understand why
True
VEE727 Wait what? As far as I remember that was the concept about minutephysics.
VEE727 To fully grasp or commit all the information to heart, it sometimes requires many multiple viewings and note-taking. But I get the gist of what he's saying in this video. He said that if two planets (in this case the sun and the moon) appear to have the same size, their radii divided by their distances (from earth to the respective planet) are roughly equivalent between the two.So, (and I looked up the data to calculate this) the one is 0.0045186952235024 and the other is 0.0046366666666667. Basically, they're the same. That's the result of dividing the radius of the moon with the distance from earth to it, and then the same with the sun.
It's a factoid. It doesn't provide much use, but is interesting.
VEE727 Didn't rush that part. He showed the formula for the gravitational tidal force to demonstrate that it is, in fact, proportional to (r/d)^3.
It's just simple math that doesn't need explanation; anyone who knows the formula will understand it, and anyone who doesn't know the formula won't understand any explanation given for it unless he reads up on it. For such a person, it is enough for the purpose of the video to just state that the tidal force *is* proportional to that formula, without any further explanation.
Curiosity photographs martian solar eclipses?
It's even more awesome than I thought.
Make video on the biggest star in our galaxy
Jeff Pierre I think that would be fun to watch too but I dont think he would do it because people would say its unoriginal. There's tons of videos that are already out there on UA-cam for this.
sratra1 Perhaps it would be fun to explain how all those videos are wrong because they depict smooth spherical objects for those stars, when in reality they'd be uneven, swelling globs of a very low density gas.
Chillbro Swaggins Nope. At its outer edges it's much closer to vacuum than to the density of air.
***** Haha, nice one! :D
Does anyone know what the biggest star in the galaxy is? I know it's VY Canis Majoris in terms of the universe (at least out of our known stars) but I'm not sure what the biggest star is in our own galaxy.
so how big is it
really big
Jamal l'Friedchicken Mass: 1.989E30 kg
Radius: 695,800 km (1 R☉)
Almighty Shippo That's a big star
Jamal l'Friedchicken It's certainly bigger than my house. :P
Although, our sun is actually tiny compared to some of the other stars out there.
For example, UY Scuti is roughly 1,708 Solar Radii (1 Solar Radii = 1 of our Sun, so ~1,700 times the radius of the Sun, or 1,708 x 695,600km... tiny really).
The Sun UY Scuti threatened to supernova all over my house if I didn't brag about him... sorry, I didn't have a choice. Please don't burn my skin, sir.
Wow, I always underestimate how far away the moon really is... Awesome explanation MinutePhysics! :D
Imagining the moon's distance, and thinking about the Apollo missions, really gets you thinking that it certainly was an amazing feat for its time.
Rythaze Next stop, Mars? ;)
josh11735 see you there. :)
josh11735 Another example I like is that you could fit all the other planets (lined up in a row) between the Earth and the moon
Neil Stilin That's amazing! :D
I'd never even considered that the sun affects tides. I feel stupid.
It's responsible for the highest and lowest tides of the month(along with other stuff) but that's just kinda cool. There called spring and neap tides
TheScholesie09 It's why we have two high tides and two low tides per day.
***** No tides here in Lithuania
SketrickTV No potato either.
***** Mother Russia says no need for tides, can't make wodka out of them.
The thing that amazes me more than anything out of all these things is how far away the moon is. The Earth and Moon seem much closer to each other.
'Looks about the same size in the sky', that's some gud sciencing right thur! 1:22

I LOVE your channel. Every video gives me goose bumps and pushes me to peruse my goal of engineering science. Keep it up!
I've been waiting for this kind of video for a long time from MinutePhysics.
Finally!
Imagine living on a planet with the same surface area of a star, it would be pretty dope having all that land, yet the Internet would be a weird place with all the lag from opposite sides.
Borikuaedu3991 The gravity would kill you. You'd be crushed under the weight of your own eyebrows.
Floobs Hrm. I wonder if any synthetic materials and configuration could produce a sphere the size of the sun but surface gravity of the earth.
Floobs Not if said object is hollow and you are living on the inside ;)
Well we'd assume the beings their could withstand the gravity.
neeneko To have the mass of the Earth (about 6x10^27 grams) and the volume of the sun (1.41x10^33 cubic cm) You'd need a material that has a density of about 4x10^-6 gcm^-3, or about 0.0004% the density of polystyrene. No way a planet made of a material like that won't crumble under it's own gravity
FINALLY. Some space things again!
Nice video, totally worth to watch in full screen!
Ubeogesho
I have wanted to see a comparison of relative sizes like this for a while now. Loved the video, Henry!
Just luv your vids, the pics and the voice overs. Info. is very interesting!. Space/universe is so mind blowing!
Ah equations! Lovely!
I lost you at about 1 minute
Great video, full screen definitely needed!
Just found this Channel .. And i'm loving it.
Wow the sun is BIG. It's amazing to think that it took only one week for God to create it 6000 years ago.
I caught you.
AnonymousIntellectual lo ur such a troll!
The sun was created before earth days existed, so a, "day" would be a block of time.
John Kat lemon
AnonymousIntellectual I would choose the word "incredible" over amazing, myself.
AnonymousIntellectual Here's an interesting thought experiment for you:
Suppose that it really did take God 3 days to create the Earth, as the bible prescribes.
Now suppose that kilogram for kilogram, God creates the sun, the moon and the stars at the same rate.
How long does it take God to create the Moon? 18 minutes
How long does it take God to create the Sun? 1.8 million days (5000 years)
How long does it take God to create the stars, neglecting those outside our own galaxy? 1 quintillion days (2.7 quadrillion years)
If you think the Sun is big, listen to this: The biggest star in the Observable Universe is 1708 times bigger than the Sun!
Josh Hooper UY Scuti has around 1708 times bigger radius than our sun...
Josh Hooper correction, in the ''Observable'' Universe.
Josh Hooper Well, the biggest one we've found so far. My moneys on the fact that there's some bigger shit out there.
That makes no sense, stars are just pin pricks in the blanket that is the sky, how can one be bigger that the sun? Idiot
ammettheyellingfrog1 are you serious?!
I just love watching these videos
Please, could you make a video about the Lagrange Points? Thanks! I love this channel.
Huh, I always heard that the sun's effect on tides is roughly half that of the moon's. Are they actually close to equal?
stellarfirefly When dealing with big numbers scientist generally fall into a scale that deals with magnitudes. If something isn't 10x or 1/10th as much it's pretty close, this can be a bit confusing to everyone else.
***** I calculated this last semester in my mechanics class. The sun accounts for about 40% while the moon accounts for about 60% of the total tidal strength. They may be even more like 47% and 53%, but I can't exactly remember. Will need to go digging through my notes ;P
i calculated it last year too and i got like 63 and 37
stellarfirefly Half is close to equal if you're doing a Fermi calculation.
stellarfirefly The video is wrong although they supplied the correct formula.The difference in the pull of the moon is 2.20 x 10^-6 The difference in the pull of the sun is 1.01 x 10^-6 Which is .457 or roughly 1/2.
Tide goes in, tide goes out. You can't explain that.
Lol yea you can
Rick Smith For anyone not knowing, it's an infamous Bill O'Reilly quote from an interview with David Silverman, an atheist. That interview birthed a few other quotes and memes, it's worth checking out.
Rick Smith Then explain it to Bill O'Riley
iAmAbrahamster Ha nice reference :P
iAmAbrahamster Sun goes up, sun goes down. Coincidence? I think not!
Love this kind if evocative content. Thx a lot
the density of this information is blowing my mind! I have to watch this 5 more times
I have a question then! If I hold a marble out so that it covers the sun, would that marble have the same gravitational influence on me as the moon does?
+Aaron Park gravitational force is directly proportional to m/d^2, so they wont have the same gravitational force on you. But i don't think gravitational force formula is applicable for such short distances
That was a sarcastic joke, Vegeta.
Marble + Arm's Length:
0.003 kg /(0.655 m)^2 = 0.00699259
Moon + Distance from Earth to Moon:
7.342 x 10^22 kg /(384400000 m)^2 = 496875
well hi there fellow- oh crap they're doing math! mayday! mayday!
Sri Krishna Chaitanya as of lately with all the fuss on the reality of gravity which I believe is all in the mind, I think that formula might be full of black holes. Actually that formula is probably full of money. Backed by the richest with an agenda. Anything associated with gravity especially math equations are becoming very suspect. If gravity does not exist or proven its shouldnt be used as a variable in math. I am sure nasa put together bogus pages long math equations that had gravity formulas being used. Well since its failed to be proven then all those particular math problems using a gravity formula must be wrong.
William Hesford Please... just go back to wearing your tinfoil hat, and flipping the bird at the surveillance cameras operated by "lizard men".
If gravity didn't exist, no force would be keeping the satellites in orbit around the earth. No GPS, no satellite TV, no accurate weather reports, no accurate map imaging, and god damn overview images of Area 51.
Physics and geometry= makes my brain SEPARATED TO MY HEAD..😅😅
KEEP MAKING VIDEOS YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME
Thank you of your sharing
Hmm, I wouldn't have thought that the sun tidal force is as great as the moon.
Makes me wonder why we aren't tidal locked.
We aren't tidally locked because the Earth is so far away from the sun.
We are 93 million miles away from the sun.
Oh, btw. The sun is so much bigger than the moon it ain't even funny.
so overall how big is the sun
I'm a new subscriber and I gotta say I love your videos and also that the background music reminds me of Blues Clues whenever Steve would draw in his handy-dandy notebook. lol
It's good and I never knew about this fact before. It's helpful
But... Isn't the sun's effect on the tides much smaller than the moon's? If memory serves, it's about 50% lower...
***** The video also clearly states that the sun's effect on tides is roughly equal to the moon's. Henry misspoke, or missed a point of research.
Teth47 Well, in astronomical terms, being within the same order of magnitude can be said to be "roughly equal". Seeing as how things that aren't "roughly equal" tend to differ by factors of millions.
zolikoff That really, really depends who you talk to, and how much we've tested to know. Being accurate to an order of magnitude when the data is far more granular is poor form. You are now being an apologist, don't do that.
Teth47 Wasn't apologizing or defending anything, I obviously didn't mean to say the difference doesn't matter scientifically.
What I meant to say is it isn't that important *colloquially*. This is a simplified informational video, not a scientific one. I wouldn't expect it to bog down at such details that don't really matter to the video at hand.
zolikoff You literally apologized for the mistake, twice >_> Anyway, this is a condensed scientific video, it should be accurate. If you're going to educate, educate. Do your research, don't be wrong, because you're teaching people things, and they are trusting that you're teaching them correct things.
Man, the moon is far away.
That was an extremely cool visualization
Excellent perspective!
The moon affects the tides more than twice as much as the sun.
The sun is 400 times bigger than the moon.
Would it not be better to say the diameter of the sun is 400 times that of the moon? Just to save any confusion of volume comparisons.
Will the sun is too much bigger than moon it's just it's diameter but considered it's volume compared to moon I think you can fit 64.3 millions moon into the sun means you can fit 6 crore 30 lakh moon

If Henry was a lecturer he'd do a whole year's worth of physics in one lecture. Damn. By the time their next video's out, I'll just have finished picking apart this one.
You didn't answer the question. I came to see how big the sun is, not for solar eclipses and coincidences and tidal forces and other things....
Don't worry, I haven't subbed yet but still

oh, because god forbid he expect the video to be about what the title says it will be about.
Why you dislike
You have all of this evidence, yet don't suspect that this might be God's intention.

i can tell by a fact though, that you have lots of saliva in your mouth when talking.
gee, i keep hearing that "splash" "shlip" "plup" constantly when you talk, especially during the last segment of the video.
iota-09 I cant stop hearing it now, damn you
wish this was a little longer, still amazing though :)
Amazing video
It's not really a coincidence because God designed them to appear the same size in the night sky.
Andrew White Yes, you're right - no coincidence at all! Praise be to Apollo!
Andrew White I know, right? I'm so furious that people don't believe in Helios anymore. I mean, the proof is right there in the sky. A very old book says that Helios travels from east to west in his flaming chariot. Well, there you have it.
And the thunderstorms? Totally Zeus.
Andrew White Why would God do that? If you can't predict beforehand which coincidences God would cause, and you can't figure out how common coincidences should be by chance, then you can't use coincidences as evidence regarding God.
Daniel Carrier God made the two main lights in the sky, the sun to rule the day, and the moon to rule the night (read Genesis chapter 1). The fact is that God made the universe; therefore, the sun and moon appearing the same size in the sky is a design by God. All of creation is evidence for God, and all know that God created it.
Andrew White Flying Spaghetti Monster created pirates and then people. You don't really see any pirates these days but there are lots of people. Therefore a man is Flying Spaghetti Monster's design, not Jehowa's
So cool!
keep the good work
You need to do more videos please!
Thanks for the french subtitles :)
great vid man
What about density of objects ? A black hole is super tiny (singularity) but has quite an effect on tides, don't you think ?
Wow, fascinating.
minutephysics episodes never disappoint
Very good!
At 1:26 isnt the formule for Fg = G*Mm/r^2. Instead of dividing by d^2 you should divide by r^2.
More!! :-)
Except the moon and sun aren't the same density, the moon is 3x denser, so as a result has 3x greater effect on the tides
I knew that the sun was massive, but that video made me astonished on how garagntuan it is, especially compared to the earth. Then, it even discombobulates me more to know that the sun is smaller than most of the stars in the universe!
Amazing!!!
who saidbsun is one of the smallest?
It is an average size star
So when calculating gravitational forces which objects should I consider? Earth, the moon, the Sun, Jupiter? Saturn?
Another fun facts :
UY Scuti is a bright red hypergiant and pulsating variable star in the constellation Scutum. It is currently the largest known star by radius and is also one of the most luminous of its kind. It has an estimated average median radius of 1,708 solar radii, or a diameter of 2.4 billion km (1.5 billion mi; 15.9 AU); thus a volume 5 billion times that of the Sun. If placed at the center of the Solar system, its photosphere would engulf the orbit of Jupiter, and the radius is about the same size as the orbit of Saturn.
Radithya Joenan yes it's right
Awesoooooome video!
This video was awesome, made me feel really tiny and insignificant in some ways...However, I don't think its called an "eclipse" when Phobos blocks part of the sun from the Martian surface, I think its called a "Transit" due to the size. I could be wrong though.
It counts as an eclipse because it is a moon that blocks out most of the sun.
Huh, what? Thanks, I needed that. Mind shatter.
AWESOME
Minutephysics your sound looks good

I love how MinutePhysics has become a thinly veiled advertisement campaign now. 1 minute of content followed by 45 seconds of advertising. GG
I would like longer videos from MinutePhysics. As soon as I finished watching the video, I will forget some of the information I absorbed. I know I could play it back but how many time will I have to do that.
