  • This is a scale model of our solar system. Sun and planet sizes and distances from the sun are exactly to scale.

    Great job of illustrating the massiveness of our solar system! It makes me wonder how the sun's gravity is strong enough to influence objects that are so far away. (among a million other questions that come to mind!).

      I don't have such questions, because I understand the maths that clearly give those answers, our universe it clearly explained in those equations, I have a clear understanding in them yet I still have to talk to annoying people that don't, to try to make them understand why they are wrong in many things.
      I'm don't have anything against you, you are humble and were just saying that without claiming anything about me, but you reminded me that the people that I "talk" with keep insulting me and wasting my time, have the same understanding as you, only that they are also arrogant and rude

    because the size to distance is so separated I personally like the dual scale model where sizes are 1:1B and distances are 1:1T, I think it does both jobs well at the same time while keeping it at a reasonable size. anyway this is still very cool!

      Yea, I decided to omit Pluto because it’s no longer on the “planet list” and it’s only about 1/3 the size of Mercury! Well, you saw how small I had to make Mercury to fit my scale. Also, I learned that Pluto actually tracks inside Neptune’s orbit for a portion of its orbit.

    @lajoswinkler 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    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  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      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.

  • @sl1fer1
    @sl1fer1 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    😂😂 Now explain how that sun has enough gravitational pull to keep hold of the furthest planets away, all while not pulling any of the nearest planets into it. Total nonsense. All planets(wondering stars) celestial bodies are all local and within a local sky, much much smaller than what is claimed in the ridiculous globe theory.
