Don’t get me wrong, Neil is super smart, but he knows as much as the average physicist (which is still a lot). But he is particularly eloquent and charismatic with his explanations, which makes him such a good teacher.
I hope you and your 5 year old still watch together. I've only been subscribed for a few weeks now but I gotta say this is a awesome combo. Star talk is awesome.
If my physics classes had been taught by NdeGT and cohosted by Chuck Nice, I would be a world-renowned astrophysicist by now - and still unable to stop laughing😂🤣😂🤣
Neil, you are such an inspiration to me as a teacher. Not only can you explain incredibly complex topics in a way that everyone can grasp, but your passion for science makes your talks so engaging. Many of the topics you cover were never of interest to me before, but then I hear you discuss them and become fascinated and want to learn more. What a gift you have!
NWS Temp Trivia: Air temperature is officially measured in "shadow" as mentioned in the video, but also 4'-6' off the surface/ground to avoid radiant heat contamination.
Can’t wait for the one with horse power to drop. I was out for a walk noontime today and listened to the full episode and that made me laugh out loud 😂
I wonder how they originally defined the horsepower? Did they pick an individual horse? The average power of a group of horses? Are horses weaker, stronger, or equally as strong nowadays vs back when the horsepower was first defined? Does an average modern horse have 1 hp, > 1 hp, or < 1 hp?
@@PyrusFlameborn Neil didn't actually explain where the term came from. He made it sound like it was invented for cars, but this isn't really the case. It was for steam engines, goes back way before cars. Basically it was used for marketing James Watts improved steam engines to people who didn't already have one to trade in and were unfamiliar with how useful they were.

He then compared that data to what his steam engine could do. It wasn't really meant as a "scientific term" (although now it is because it has a defined conversion to watts) It was a practical way to compare the work potential of a steam engine to horses for people, particularly in the US, that weren't familiar with the technology and would have to buy the new machines at full price. Don't need to overthink it. It actually is that simple.
If people get mad at Chuck, they are just toooooooo sensitive lol. Like how can ANYONE get mad at him, and take his jokes too serious? :P The man is a killer 🤣🔥
Some people get mad just because they have a reason to get mad . Their life revolves around it ! Any mention of race seems off limits in 2020 and beyond
bravo chuck, never change! i laughed out loud, im a lily white nerd who is 1/4 mexican and i think the world is too damn sensitive, my black friends appreciate a black joke as much as my asian friends.....try to read the joke while squinting..... joking!
There is an asteroid named Icarus that orbits the Sun in a very elongated orbit. When closest to the Sun, its distance is only 27 million km (less than 1/5 of the Earth's) and it's glowing red hot.
Yes, being out of the sun when under a tree is one reason that it is cooler under a tree. However, the relative humidity is also a factor. When you add moisture to air, you reduce its temperature. This is why swamp coolers are used in the west where the air is hot and dry. Trees give off a huge amount of moisture as they transpire. Thus, in a rather dry climate like Utah, Arizona, or New Mexico, much of the cooling effect of standing under a tree comes from the additional moisture in the air around the tree.
@@dobermanownerforlife3902 No, 90 degrees Fahrenheit with 100% humidity is hard to bear because one's sweat does not evaporate and thus has no cooling effect. 90 degrees Fahrenheit with 0% humidity is bearable because your sweat can indeed evaporate and thus cools you off. The ability of water to conduct heat has nothing to do with my comment. I suggest you do a Google search on the phrase "evaporative cooling" to learn more.
Chuck you’re so funny!! And dare I say inspiring. Last year I drew large pictures of you, Neil, and the first three black female astronauts for my K-8 school. Keep up the great work!
in summer indeed you want light clothes however, unless you're wearing a t-shirt in winter, winter clothes are highly insulating to keep warmth in, so you wont get much sun energy thru them. Addtionally, winter sun is low and provides much less warmth, and winter has chilly weather that effectively negates any heat gain from sun.
you, guys, make me want to study again! this is a very bad time, at the beginning of September i didn't pass my last bachelor's degree exam, the exam was on technical physics ... it really knocked me down, i'm struggling to study the whole subject again, but you give me a different point of view with respect to some topics and cheer me up, thank you very much!
Hi I just recently stated listening to star talk and I have been really enjoying it. I don't mean to picky but as a weather geek this one kind of bothered me. It's not entirely accurate to say that the temperature decreases until reaching the thermosphere. There are other layers of the atmosphere. The troposphere is where we live and the temperature does decrease with height. The next layer is the stratosphere and in this layer the temperature increases with height because of the Ozone layer. The next layer is the mesosphere where temperature again decreases with height and then finally the thermosphere where yes temperature does increase with height but not do to the Ozone layer. The temperature increases with height in the thermosphere due to solar radiation. Again love listening to star talk and sorry for being picky about this.
I am a pizza maker, the classic pizza takes around 90 seconds in a 400C oven. Which means, if Neil included professional pizzas into formula, the pizza on Venus would probably be done in less than 7 sec
The air is heated from below, partly by direct contact with the ground and partly by absorbing infrared radiation from the ground since the air is not transparent to infrared.
This plain old white lady loves Chuck also...he makes me laugh in every episode. Positive vibes from New Hampshire, remember to be kind to each other and yourself during this pandemic and social crisis.
Right this video was so smart. just.... the way Neil has built up on the idea of splitting temperature in to explaining how the sun heats the earth. mindblowing
I wish neil was my physic teacher back when I was in school ,I didn't like physic when I was in school.This man make physics so fun and interesting.learnt so much watching this videos.
The forest example (10:24) is not entirely correct since the percive temperature has to do also with humidity. Often in a forest due to the protection offer by the trees there’s less wind, combined with the shadow offered cause the soil to retain more water (compared to flat, sun-exposed soil) so there’s the component that Neil pointed out (shadow) but there’s more humidity and without much circulation of air with the surroundings there’s actually a delta in air temperature
So are there differences in temperature readings between a mercury (silver and reflective) thermometer and one containing coloured alcohol, and a thermcouple probe
White light is made up of all visible light (colors). When white light hits an object, the color of that object absorbs the wavelengths of light that corresponds to that color. All other wavelengths of light are reflected.
If Icarus flew as close to the Sun as the _asteroid_ Icarus does, his wings would certainly melt. That asteroid is only 27 million km away from the Sun at its closest - less than 1/5 of Earth's distance - and is probably glowing red hot at that point.
I just heard on todays Short Wave by NPR that both the host & guest agreed that water always flows downhill. I immediatelt thought of capillary action, so wanted to suggest to Neiil that that would make a cool topic for his next explainer ('splainin') episode...whaddya think?
One thing you forgot about shade from a tree... in the forest you also have moisture evaporation. This makes it "feel" cooler as well... this would be an interesting side discussion on temperature.
Agreed that the air around Icarus cools as he flies higher (ignoring the fact that he actually COULD indeed fly at all), the radiation from the Sun should be absorbed by any solid object, so the man and his feathered coat should warm up somewhat. Of course, the temperature of the thin atmosphere would be much lower, and would draw any of Icarus' thermal warmth away, as fast as it is absorbed. The result would be the same: the man would plunge to the earth, but he wouldn't know it, having frozen solid long before.
Neil is a great teacher. There are a lot of knowledgeable people but very few are able to explain complicated subjects in simple language.
That defines great teachers versus good teachers
It’s called pedagogy
I still prefer Aurélien Barrau and Jean-Marc Jancovici, but Neil is very good too
They make learning fun and interesting. I get a brain pop every time.
Don’t get me wrong, Neil is super smart, but he knows as much as the average physicist (which is still a lot). But he is particularly eloquent and charismatic with his explanations, which makes him such a good teacher.
I'm anticipating these videos at this point. Me and my 4 year old learning from Dr. Neil!
I hope you and your 5 year old still watch together. I've only been subscribed for a few weeks now but I gotta say this is a awesome combo. Star talk is awesome.
And folks, that is what makes Neil one of the smartest people who can also explain smartly! :)
When Chuck finds his own joke hilarious his laugh reminds me of Eddie Murphy.
Utterly hilarious when he found out that the sun was indeed white or when he found out that white light has all the colors
It was a long-long time I laughed as hard as I did when Chuck joked about which race he's with depending on the season. 😂
9:00 don't worry about cancelling, the cancellers don't watch science
Thats for dam sure
true that
Send links to studies. Otherwise, it's just your feeling/perception, so don't talk about what you don't know.
@@NarynbekGilman do your own research to prove it wrong.
Neil's mother is Puerto Rican, that's why he laughed so hard.

Now I wanna try "Venusian-style" pizza. Made with wheat and tomatoes grown on Mars.
It just started with an electromagnetics video, and now I've gone down the rabbit hole. Love it!
as a puertorican, Im happy and that made me smile xD
happy to hear you can take a joke not many people can these days
Neil is Puerto Rican
He made me smile too. He is right. We are a mix of everyone. Thus, Chuck can hang out with us all seasons. 😂
"wow astrophysics, that sounds important and very difficult"
Astrophysicists: "what if we cooked a pizza on Venus?"

Just stumbled upon this channel. Binge watch time. All the love for both of you, brothers! Cheers from Spain

In aviation temperature is everything. It effects density altitude, thermals, humidity, and many other things.

Maybe they just flew over the thermosphere too quickly and that’s what icarus flew into 🤷🏽♀️

Complete opposite. Water transfers heat well. This is why it is used to cool engines. Humidity makes 90 F unbearable, compared to 90 F dry.

Love chuck&neil on every episode ❤️
Ain't gonna lie, I cracked tf out
Spring and Fall are the best seasons anyway
Spring and summer is the best
I always learn informative and thought provoking things watching Star Talk.
Good Job folks.
I'm addicted to learning! I really love these discussions.
Bless up from Brooklyn NY 🙏 learning allot, smoking allot #420 "this is STAR TALK" #AstronomyRocks
you, guys, make me want to study again!

This is why I want Neil to build an Air Fryer that actually works
such a great ending to a sweet explainer!!
A retouching of the Heat vs Temperature explainer. Love it!
it's 12 AM and I'm in bed. All this pizza talk is making me hungry. I need a snack now. Damn you Dr Tyson
Chuck made this even more entertaining
I'd love a video about kinds of stars, like supergiant starts and how are they classified
Chuck!! you are the best!! :D
I fricken love chucks ceiling fan.
Thought it was just me
If pizza was made in 4 seconds it still would take a hour to get to u even if you're 20min away 😆
So they will still need to give coupons for free pizza because they were late... I get it, business as usual ;)
It would be highly inefficient to deliver one pizza per delivery though.
Great stuff Neil, you inspire more than you know

atmosphere is transparent to visible light so the air is not hot such an obvious fact yet most forget it, always something new with dr tyson
The air is heated from below, partly by direct contact with the ground and partly by absorbing infrared radiation from the ground since the air is not transparent to infrared.
All this information is electrically transmitted to our brain and tells our bodies whether to sweat or shake, thanks Neil...

i love to hear you man. it is so relaxing and educating.
also what web cam you guys use?
Chuck makes this perfect 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 🔥🔥💯💯😎
Taking notes as if I'm in class!!
I want to know when is the graduation date set for Chuck. He deserves a Star Talk diploma.
He learns well but he does not retain well .
Scientific comedy too, courtesy of Mr. Chuck Nice!
cool
Can you guys have an explainer video on the layers of the atmosphere?? I think it would be great to understand
This was good would love to see a segment on heat and pressure relationship

On Venus, you put the pizza in the thermal insulated carrier to protect it from overcooking instead of keeping it warm.

Excellent post. Temperature explained exactly from a scientific point of view in layman's terms.
