Man. This is an amazing piece of material gathered since earliest times till now. Wonderfully voice-overed and just amazing piece of astronomy science. I'm very happy I came across it and wishing to see more. Magnificent.
This video is amazing. I was actually researching why Jupiter and Saturn looked so different despite being made of almost exactly the same substances. Same with Uranus and Neptune.
Mark Garton glad you like the video :) As to cores, the Juno spacecraft is mapping Jupiter’s gravity field, which will help nail down the composition of its core.
You are very welcome - I wanted to become an astronomer when I was little, but I struggled too much with math. But ever since I was little, the stars, and particularly our solar system, has held a wonderful fascination for me. Your video presentations are just great. Solid science with a sense of wonderment at what the cosmos have in store for us. Especially love what you've done on the gas & ice giants - just terrific! I hope you are able to keep them coming.
.___. There ARE solid surfaces on gas planets. The gas turns into a liquid as the pressure builds eventually turning into Ice7 which is literal liquid solid. The solsquid.
@@That_Son_Ofa_Itch My reason for suggesting it's not much of a "surface" is because there isn't a distinct interface but rather a smooth transition through the different states.
Im shocked there hasnt been more views, great presentation and comparisons, as well as things i diddnt know like off set magnetic centres in the Ice planets.
Jupiter must be filled with lots of rocky space debris just taking it's proximity to the asteroid belt into consideration. Also, all its rocky moons and its gravity surely brought in extra solar system massive objects from that period a few billions years ago. Just my thoughts on the matter
Even if you threw all the asteroids and comets in the Solar System into Jupiter, it's unlikely that you'd increase it's mass by more than a tenth of a percent.
14:47 Hold up, you're telling me that we get room-temperatuee water-rich regions 300km below Saturn? Why the heck aren't we probing Saturn for signs of life?
Fascinating, imagine a planet like neptune thats nothing BUT an ocean all the way down to the core, 20000km deep. Almost like a D&D elemental plane of water
In general, I like your presentation style, and appreciate your efforts to bring out solid information to the curious like me... You got a new sub.er tonight, so don't let me down!!! Maybe back some of your graphics w/ some tunes, possibly some stripped down beats, house- dare I say maybe a lil trance? lol Oh, and one thing thought you would bring up- the theoretical, most likely (?) "Diamond-Rain" that is hypothesized to shower down deep on some of Neptune's atmospheric levels? If I recall correctly, its from the break-down of methane into its constituent carbon, that sinks- upon reaching a lower level w/ enough pressure, then solidifying? I've even heard of a possible solid-diamond core from a few different sources over the years... personally, meh... maybe, maybe not? If so we'll blow the f*in clouds off one day & bust out the drill rigs I guarantee it!!! lol
Something about Saturn scares me. Just seeing the shadow cast on the rings shows depth and to me makes it look big and just the image after falling through. It just scares me.
You called Uranus and Neptune twins. What if they really truly are?? Especially as weird as their magnetic fields are and Uranus’ tilt. What if something collided with them and broke One of them off from the other?
ok. Answer me this. Methane is the reason we see the ice giants as blue. And Uranus has much more methane in its atmosphere than Neptune. .. So why is Neptune a more saturated blue?
Even the smallest brown dwarf *star* that is only large enough to fuse deuterium are still around 13-20 times the size of Jupiter. The sun accounts for 99.999999% of all matter in the solar system.
Gas until you get to the rocky core, eh? I was under the impression that NASA rather theorized that there were pressure gradients in Jupiter where those gases would be compressed into liquid, and further down still, into liquid metallic hydrogen. Would this mean that, from a terrestrial vernacular, Jupiter has a surface of hydrogen oceans? Furthermore, wouldn't the extreme temperatures of Jupiter's core preclude the possibility of a 'rocky' core? Would it be more of a shining bright magma core, if anything? I'm extremely eager to see what the Juno mission finds about the consistency of Jupiter's depths. It's easily the coolest planet in the solar system aside from Earth.
No, even if you made it the same temperature as the Sun's core (which a single meteor can't do) the pressure is not high enough to sustain the reaction. It would just fizzle and go out again.
Hmm the gas giant segment was a bit disappointing in terms of information on the gas giants but given the date it is kind of understandable as I don't believe the Cassini's grande finale and the ongoing Juno mission have revealed so much about how much more complex and strange the gas giants really are practically everything is even stranger within Jupiter 3000km of atmospheric flows before transitioning into rotating as a rigid body, highly dynamic and substantial non dipole components to its magnetosphere in particular a second magnetic south pole along its equator termed the great blue spot and the very different dynamics at play with its auroral dynamics. And then there is the puzzling mysterious fuzzy core. It is so fascinating but probably what makes it even more interesting is the comparison with the grande finale results from Saturn which suggest a well defined core boundary and 9000 kilometers of effective atmosphere. It is a pity we still lack so much information on the ice giants Neptune in particular has lots of strange things going on including some interesting semi seasonal variability(after all we haven't seen a full Neptunian year) and the question of the thus far unidentified compounds and or mechanisms responsible for its distinctive blue hue. And then of course there is the moon Triton a captured potentially habitable world in an inspiraling orbit. One interesting although highly speculative prospect for Neptune is the question of whether life could exist in its clouds/seas perhaps ejected microbes from Triton. Regarding Uranus I have heard they think that rather than there being a lack of heat that it may be getting trapped via a heat inversion which if true could suggest some very horrific conditions below relative to Neptune. Unfortunately it is pretty much all speculation for these ice giants sigh. We don't even know if they really are twins because we lack enough actual data to confirm that. Also worth noting that in comparison to Jupiter and Saturn which are almost entirely hydrogen with hundreds of Earth masses worth of each hydrogen and helium Uranus and Neptune seem to "only" have a few Earth masses of each really emphasizing how different they are from the gas giants. Given the ubiquity of ice giant planets across our galaxy it is so unfortunate we know so little about these fascinating worlds.
The Creator made these planets to protect the Earth from asteroids and other cosmic debris in the universe. He sits above the universe in Heaven. Give thanks to our Creator. There is a better time coming....

Jesus, this has to be the best video on this subject on TH-cam. The graphical presentation is A+ and your narration is flawless. Thankyou for this.
Wow, thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
I thought exactly that too.
15:15
NEPTUNE: Uranus, you're so boring. Atleast I have bands. You're not even hot.
URANUS: (spins on its side) Can you do this?!
Me to come over op looool m look
The outer planet's are absolutely fascinating. Looking forward to your next presentation, thanks!
I'm an accounting major and this is one of the best things I've ever seen.

Hey buddy, it's great to see your channel grow over the last few years. Thanks again for being our friendly neighborhood astronomer!
This video is amazing. I was actually researching why Jupiter and Saturn looked so different despite being made of almost exactly the same substances. Same with Uranus and Neptune.
Awesome, I’m glad it helped!
@@LaunchPadAstronomy Just curious, have these colors ever been recreated in a lab setting?
TIL Uranus and Neptune are ice giants and not gas giants.
What would it take to get a firmer idea of what Jupiter's and Saturn's cores are like?
Mark Garton glad you like the video :) As to cores, the Juno spacecraft is mapping Jupiter’s gravity field, which will help nail down the composition of its core.
Very nice channel. Keep pumping out product and you will gain a loyal following. I am one
Thank you so much, and very glad to have you along for the ride!

Wonderful, high quality content! Thank you for your hard work!
Thanks!
3:45 minus the gale force winds, freezing temperatures, lack of oxygen and literal continent size hurricanes of course
I watch a lot of video and documentaries on space and astrophysics - this channel provides some of the best I’ve seen
Pluto will always be a planet to me !
You may enjoy this video about Pluto then :) Does Pluto have an ocean? th-cam.com/video/dqYn19qDiLg/w-d-xo.html

.___. There ARE solid surfaces on gas planets. The gas turns into a liquid as the pressure builds eventually turning into Ice7 which is literal liquid solid. The solsquid.
Doesn't sound like much of a surface to me
@@dsdy1205 its liquid so dense you can walk on it. Its literally as hard as rock. But is still a liquid technically.
Its a surface. Just look up ice 7
@@That_Son_Ofa_Itch My reason for suggesting it's not much of a "surface" is because there isn't a distinct interface but rather a smooth transition through the different states.
@@dsdy1205 Thats very true, its more like flying through a 7 layer bean dip than just touching down on a hard surface immediatly.
I actually understood a good portion of this. Thanks for this
Danke für die tollen Erklärungen! 👍
Sooo glad to hear you pronounce Uranus correctly👌
I like this video a lot :)
Let's not forget as well that Neptune's the windiest of the four Solar System's planetary giants.
I literally searched for this topic and clicked on your video as soon as I saw it.
I'm glad it helped!
It really did tommorow I have my NASA Olympiad and I could understand this topic thanks to your video. Thanks man you r a great content Creator
Mostly Uranus and Neptune are created from a single source and some how got split.
Great analystic video
cracking show Chris lad
question = whats that white cloud /spot on Uranus 13.20 part ????
Sorry, I didn't see the rest of your comment until now. Those white patches are aurorae.
Im shocked there hasnt been more views, great presentation and comparisons, as well as things i diddnt know like off set magnetic centres in the Ice planets.
Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I like the video! At 5:48... “centripetal”, not “centrifugal”, no?
Indeed, but in my intro astronomy class I just go with "centrifugal" b/c it's easier for the students to comprehend.
Launch Pad Astronomy I hear you.

You're welcome, and thank you!
It is unconceivable this channel has so few subscribers!!!
Exactly what I always think about when I watch videos here!
Ima tryin’ 😃
Saturn's most remarkable feature may not be its rings, but its hexagonal pole region. Why is it hexagonal and not a circle?
14:47 Hold up, you're telling me that we get room-temperatuee water-rich regions 300km below Saturn? Why the heck aren't we probing Saturn for signs of life?
Fascinating, imagine a planet like neptune thats nothing BUT an ocean all the way down to the core, 20000km deep. Almost like a D&D elemental plane of water
Very thorough and information packed. Thanks!
But... how can neighboring wind bands be blowing in opposite directions?
This is technically the middle solar system. The true outer solar system lies beyond Neptune’s orbit.
Make a part 2 with moons
We have yet to solve the mystery of the surrounding asteroids and supermassive black hole inside Uranus.
In general, I like your presentation style, and appreciate your efforts to bring out solid information to the curious like me... You got a new sub.er tonight, so don't let me down!!!

I thought this video was going to talk about other planets outside of our solar system..
oh big planets
This video is approved by your local OPA representative.
Subbed!
Thanks, and I'm glad to have you along for the ride!
ok. Answer me this. Methane is the reason we see the ice giants as blue. And Uranus has much more methane in its atmosphere than Neptune. .. So why is Neptune a more saturated blue?
Do we know that, at the center of both gas giants, exists a layer beneath the metallic hydrogen?
If so, how?
Neptune is freaking me out, man.
You should have made 2 columns with terrestrial above one and giants above the other 1 column.
What can I say I was just a kid when I made the video.
I dream, in the future, more advanced probes will scout the clouds of the behemoth planets of the Solar System will show how they really look like!!
Is Jupiter a failed star?
I don't think it's big enough
Even the smallest brown dwarf *star* that is only large enough to fuse deuterium are still around 13-20 times the size of Jupiter. The sun accounts for 99.999999% of all matter in the solar system.
What if a small planet like Mercury is inside some of the large ice planet (4.5 billion years or even at one point)?
Gas until you get to the rocky core, eh? I was under the impression that NASA rather theorized that there were pressure gradients in Jupiter where those gases would be compressed into liquid, and further down still, into liquid metallic hydrogen.

What would happen if Jupiter switched on and became a mini sun in the universe ?
Wow
There is just something bout Neptune
I absolutely love these giant planets jupiter the most, as jupiter and neptune is my astrological ruling planet, am so scifi🥴
YES the gas giants have surfaces
Could a large meteor help ignite Jupiter and turn it into a big ball of fire or even a sun? Comment by Erick Guzman Garcia
No, even if you made it the same temperature as the Sun's core (which a single meteor can't do) the pressure is not high enough to sustain the reaction. It would just fizzle and go out again.
