Scale Model of the Solar System in My Back Yard
This is a scale model of our solar system. Sun and planet sizes and distances from the sun are exactly to scale.

    @lajoswinkler หลายเดือนก่อน

    Excellent demonstration and model. I would just point at two mistakes. Your model of Sun should be perfectly white. Sun is not yellow. It gives off white light, it has no hue and is a standard against which whiteness is measured. Also, when discussing composition of Uranus and Neptune, "water ice, ammonia ice and methane ice"are misleading pleonasms. _Ice_ in planetary geology has a different meaning. It is a synonym for _volatiles_ and means chemical composition, not state of matter. Water, ammonia, methane, nitrogen, those are already _ices_ in this terminology. As for their state of matter, they are far from being solid or cold. Gaseous at the tops of these planets (with occasional solids in form of cirruses), these materials turn into a supercritical fluid because temperature quickly rises above critical one and no matter what kind of pressure is applied, they will not liquefy. Insides of all giants planets are hot, pressurized, dense supercritical fluids. Abrupt transition in form of phase boundary, such as with Earth's water ocean, does not exist. Once again, excellent model. You're lucky to have so much space available. :)

    • @rodneybrocke
      @rodneybrocke หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for your reply! I used a white light bulb in the sun but you’re right it does have a slight yellow hue in the video. As for your explanation of the state of matter in the ice giants, WOW! I really appreciate your depth of knowledge. It’s very interesting stuff. Making this video has given me a better appreciation for the probes that were sent out to explore these planets. They have yielded so much information. It is very important that NASA continue to send probes. Thanks again.
