Right?! I tend to watch all the Sci-Show channels, but Kids which I don't watch, as though they weren't separate channels only to occasionally be reminded they are, in fact, each their own thing.

Know enough about the solar system, it shouldn't be a requirement to learn it about it in primary. If we we're talking about common sense, maybe, it's not easy to get over there. I prefer life skills and moral overall. Maybe better yet, help the kids find their passion and get an early start on it.

One interesting possibility could be dropping a probe that takes the form of an balloon or dirigible. The thick atmosphere would let it carry a large payload for a long time, and the temperature would only be moderately hellish.
I used to be a Christian (devoutly so) and based on the people I met in church I'd be willing to bet that at least a few Christians believe that hell is on venus. Many believe it's inside the Earth. I'd say most believe it's in another dimension.
I wish you guys would stop taking off your scientist hats and putting on your social engineer hats to push the global warming trope. No, Venus has little to say about the greenhouse gas effect on Earth. Carbon dioxide is a trace gas on Earth, much less than 1%. On Venus, it's most of the atmosphere, and that atmosphere is 60 times thicker than Earth's as you point out. A very weak greenhouse gas gets a lot stronger at that density and pressure.
There's some serious theories around creating a magnetosphere for Mars. My personal favorite of which is just placing an artifical one at the Lagrange points to do basically the same thing with a much smaller magnetic field.
Literally just posted a comment asking about this! Which writer? Because I remember as a kid seeing a Yu-Gi-Oh card called Terraforming, and googling that word, and finding absolutely nothing. So I'd love to know the oldest reference lol
I was somewhat disappointed that this video only included rather rudimentary facts about the 8 planets and sun that I mostly already knew and not more information about all the moons which are much more interesting.
I enjoy the compilation videos, but as science marches on it would be great to include the original release date of each video (ideally both in the video as each is introduced and in the description along with the links). The Venus one in particular I think is outdated with respect to the lack of upcoming missions.
petition to officially change the name of the planet currently known as "uranus," please. i dont know what substitution to suggest, but i'm sure there're some great options. 30:13
The fact that changes of pressure change states of matter makes me think that if an object has large enough mass it would almost always release heat at the point matter manages to get far enough away from it's core to decrease the amount of pressure on the object to the point that the pressure decrease causes the liquid to start to solidify. In other words the larger the mass the more likely an object is to heat up.
these new thumbnails keep tripping me up 😭 ive been looking for this vid for the past few nights (for sleepy purposes) and i kept skipping over this one lmaooo
Another thing about the planets. Any one who watches sci-fi knows that whenever you pan out from Earth, all the planets are lined up in military fashion. i.e., you always see Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, etc. without fail. Those planets are good little soldiers
I honest did not know about scishow space. I have been watching sci show, pbs space time, pbs eons, be smart, and other space, earth, history etc. Channels For Maybe 2 years and not once has sci show space been recommended and this is the first I've heard.
“Exposphere” is misspelled in the video. I know I’m being that person, but I love these videos, and I don’t want people to misspell new words that they learn from the video, especially if the word is presented in the video.
I think a good addition to the definition that those members of project Horizon suggested to make sure it does not include bodies such as the moon is as follows: The body in question most NOT be in orbit around another celestial body that is not a star. By adding that to the definition, it would eliminate bodies such as the moon, but would still include bodies like rogue-planets and exo-planets!! Just a suggestion ^w^
Alternatively, if we simply slice up the classification of "planet" to more subcategories which would likely separate planets like Jupiter (gas giant) away from the same category as earth and include planets in their own category for planets like pluto (dwarf planet). Which I'm pretty sure is a classification system that already exists but has failed to be expanded on and refined because of the fact that humans are inherently stubborn and resistant to change.
This also ignores the fact that these subclasses are just as arbitrary as the current system. And since the universe is capable of creating pretty much any kind of planet of any size with any atmosphere, composition, and other characteristics, the more planets we discover the more we'd notice that a bunch of planets do not fit our arbitrary categories. It'd be the whole pluto discussion all over again. There's just too many possible combinations, variations, etc possible. I mean, the more exoplanets we discover, the more we've noticed that even our old classification system of outer cold gassy gas giants and inner warm rocky planets doesn't even apply to most star systems out there. We seem to be again the exception. Hot gas giants close to their star seem to be much more common. Small rocky planets seem to be more rare and huge dense rocky planets multiple times the size of earth seem to be more common. We've discovered that many planets seem to be massive watery ocean worlds with oceans hundreds of km deep, like gas giants but with water. And so on. And what about Roque planets? Are they a class on their own? Or should we make subclasses for them too? Are those hot Jupiters truly gas giants? Are those Massive water planets truly rocky planets or "liquid giants"? And that's not even going into all the dwarf planets riding the line between asteroid and dwarf planet that are out there, that we haven't even begun to discover around other stars. Thruth is that any classification system is an arbitrary construct us humans use to try and make sense of the universe by trying to put things into boxes and classes. But tons of objects out there in space that could be called planets will refuse to fit neatly into our classification system no matter what, since infinite possibilities and infinite diversity is possible out there...
Something cold can heat something warm if the pressure of the cold thing is changing so rapidly that the cold thing is solidifying. The solidifying object itself then would release heat even if it were cold because the change of state to solid form releases heat.
4:30 Coolest thing I learned from physics is idea of "Blackbody radiation" - the sun's 5700K temperature is what primarily determines its spectral intensity, a sort of skew-bell curve of brightness with wavelength/frequency, and the maximum brightness near the visible spectrum our eyes evolved to see.
Everyone talks about terraforming as if we can achieve it by taking a paint can and spray it while landing , and magically as we land, we can all take off our helmets and space suites and breath freely. Then we wake up next morning and start farming and going to work.
I get that Venus is much harsher but it seems if we could figure out how to fix its atmosphere it would be a better pick for a colony and maybe help us fix Earth's climate. Mars has almost no atmosphere at all, I mean if you have 2x4 it's easier to make it smaller vs bigger.
I think a planet should be defined as a body in space that is spherical and has either an electromagnetic field with a liquid core, or a solid metalic core
8:32 actually there was a video, either scishow space or anton petrov i forget, suggesting that water on mercury may be generated by the sun bombarding certain atoms in the surface. wish i could remember the details
I’m confused why we say it’s 98°, wouldn’t it be the same if we rotated it 82° from the other direction? I suppose a different way of wording this question is: how do we know which pole was north before it rotated?
This same concept makes me think the further away from a large mass any object gets the more likely it is to expand and move further away faster because the decrease in pressure would cause expansion.
I would say, to the definition change for planets, I like the direction. Maybe we should take the objects around them into consideration, though. Not as much as we do now, but still a little. While I'm by no means qualified, I'd personally change the definition to something like: "A planet is a body less massive than a star, that has never experienced nuclear fusion, is roughly sphere-shaped, and is not currently orbiting around another body that fits this same description of a planet." This would make Pluto a planet again, but leave out any moons, since they're currently orbiting planets already. Basically, The rock that's orbiting the sun is the planet, any around it should be moons or satellites.
Seconded. Either in the title or a tag (or both, both is good) But it gets old clicking Sci Show links and finding out that it's a compilation of stuff I've already seen.
For some guys, appearance with or without a beard doesn’t change much. Reed is clearly not one of them! I wouldn’t recognize him without a one, well, until he started speaking that is! That voice I would recognize anywhere! You pay attention when you hear it, that’s for sure!
@SciShow Space Please go in detail on the Astroid Belt to explore what these nuggets are made of and if they can be Mined for our need for metals, minerals, magnets for our Electric Vehicles, Electronics, Wind Turbines, and any other equipment that can be used to make Electricity and Planetary Buildings/Habitats.
Okay seriously though. If we could lasso Ceres and put it in a stable orbit around Mars, would the tidal friction be enough to heat up Mars' core? I've had this idea for a while. I think Mars just needs a big moon
It could possibly gives Mars maybe some tidal friction if we moved Ceres into an orbit around Mars. Ceres is about 587 miles in diameter, and depending as of where we place Ceres of Mars orbit, being closer would contribute more tidal friction and heating. However, we don't want Ceres to be too close to Mars at the point where it enters Mars Roche limit. I think that putting Ceres around 50,000-70,000 miles from Mars would be good enough for the planet's size. This is just what I think about that. Another way could be placing a massive shield large enough to block solar radiation from hitting Mar's atmosphere and surface at Mars lagrange point. Theorically like an artificial magnetic field around the edges of this "Sun shield" as Mar's magnetic field. And if that works, we'll just need to give it an atmosphere of various gases like O2, N2, more CO2 (For heating), and some O3 (Ozone).
So, I get it when it comes to planetary exploration that Venus' atmosphere is very hazardous to human life. Another consideration is Venus' rotational speed. It rotates much slower than Earth, meaning that there is a lot more time for radiation exposure on the planet's surface in each area in comparison to Earth. That being said, Venus has an atmosphere, Mars has one too, but it is much thinner than the atmosphere on Earth and based on physics related data, Mars also has a much harder time holding onto an atmosphere in comparison to Earth. This means that if we wanted to colonize Mars, odds are that we would need to live inside of domelike structures or something similar to hold in an atmosphere that is required for human life. Use of bacteria, plants, animals, and other things could be used to create a biosphere which would recycle and regulate the chemicals required to sustain life on the planet. Powerful computer calculations would probably be needed along with many sensors to determine the required output and quantities of species to keep things in the ideal range to sustain life considering it would only exist within the domes. Removing the domes would run a risk of solar winds blowing away a lot of the artificial atmosphere that we would have created to sustain life on the planet. What I don't understand is that right now, people are really focused on climate change. There is a lot of data that suggests increasing CO2 levels in our atmosphere may pose a threat to life on our planet. Venus has too much CO2 along with other chemicals which make the planet too hostile to sustain any Earth based life forms. But, it seems to me that Venus could be used as a test model of atmospheric based climate change. Think about it, if we could modify Venus' atmosphere to sustain human life, we could resolve our own issues in the process and understand how to modify Earth's climate to maintain an ideal atmosphere. Another potential use for Venus' atmosphere is as a harvesting point which could be used to generate an artificial atmosphere for Mars without risking the depletion of our own Earthly resources. It would be an expensive endeavor for sure, but it would be much safer than risking effects related to depleting our own atmosphere in the attempt to colonize Mars. When it comes to Venus, another thing to consider is that we don't need to be on the surface to inhabit the planet. There are areas within its cloudy atmosphere which could likely support Earthly vessels.
31:42 okay so Uranus has a Northern and Southern hemisphere. This is despite the fact that it's tilted almost square on its side, leading me to believe that it's titled based on the planet's magnetic orientation, which raises a question. How do we know what's north and what's south far away? Can we see which way the field is flowing?
I for one would welcome Pluto back, apologize for Eris getting snubbed, and the Moon really is massive enough to be arguably a binary planet system with Earth. But HEY-technically being tidally locked with Earth makes the Moon Egg-shaped vs Roughly Round, so
With my etnies and chesters, I never feel my feet are insecure (if anything almost too sticky sometimes😅). The times my feet have been bucked from my pedals, I'm glad that I wasn't clipped in.

But it gets old clicking Sci Show links and finding out that it's a compilation of stuff I've already seen.
Is a light year time or distance - It " normal people speak" it takes how many hours for the light from the sun to reach us and so on ?
Katelyn: Let's take a look at Uranus first.
Me: Whoa whoa whoa! At least take me to dinner first.
For some guys, appearance with or without a beard doesn’t change much. Reed is clearly not one of them! I wouldn’t recognize him without a one, well, until he started speaking that is! That voice I would recognize anywhere! You pay attention when you hear it, that’s for sure!
Watched all of it
@SciShow Space Please go in detail on the Astroid Belt to explore what these nuggets are made of and if they can be Mined for our need for metals, minerals, magnets for our Electric Vehicles, Electronics, Wind Turbines, and any other equipment that can be used to make Electricity and Planetary Buildings/Habitats.
I love SciShow Space :D
Okay seriously though. If we could lasso Ceres and put it in a stable orbit around Mars, would the tidal friction be enough to heat up Mars' core? I've had this idea for a while. I think Mars just needs a big moon
It could possibly gives Mars maybe some tidal friction if we moved Ceres into an orbit around Mars. Ceres is about 587 miles in diameter, and depending as of where we place Ceres of Mars orbit, being closer would contribute more tidal friction and heating. However, we don't want Ceres to be too close to Mars at the point where it enters Mars Roche limit. I think that putting Ceres around 50,000-70,000 miles from Mars would be good enough for the planet's size. This is just what I think about that.
Another way could be placing a massive shield large enough to block solar radiation from hitting Mar's atmosphere and surface at Mars lagrange point. Theorically like an artificial magnetic field around the edges of this "Sun shield" as Mar's magnetic field. And if that works, we'll just need to give it an atmosphere of various gases like O2, N2, more CO2 (For heating), and some O3 (Ozone).
I dont know why you're so excited to tell me about the sun but I kinda like it
So, I get it when it comes to planetary exploration that Venus' atmosphere is very hazardous to human life. Another consideration is Venus' rotational speed. It rotates much slower than Earth, meaning that there is a lot more time for radiation exposure on the planet's surface in each area in comparison to Earth.
That being said, Venus has an atmosphere, Mars has one too, but it is much thinner than the atmosphere on Earth and based on physics related data, Mars also has a much harder time holding onto an atmosphere in comparison to Earth. This means that if we wanted to colonize Mars, odds are that we would need to live inside of domelike structures or something similar to hold in an atmosphere that is required for human life. Use of bacteria, plants, animals, and other things could be used to create a biosphere which would recycle and regulate the chemicals required to sustain life on the planet. Powerful computer calculations would probably be needed along with many sensors to determine the required output and quantities of species to keep things in the ideal range to sustain life considering it would only exist within the domes. Removing the domes would run a risk of solar winds blowing away a lot of the artificial atmosphere that we would have created to sustain life on the planet.
What I don't understand is that right now, people are really focused on climate change. There is a lot of data that suggests increasing CO2 levels in our atmosphere may pose a threat to life on our planet. Venus has too much CO2 along with other chemicals which make the planet too hostile to sustain any Earth based life forms. But, it seems to me that Venus could be used as a test model of atmospheric based climate change. Think about it, if we could modify Venus' atmosphere to sustain human life, we could resolve our own issues in the process and understand how to modify Earth's climate to maintain an ideal atmosphere. Another potential use for Venus' atmosphere is as a harvesting point which could be used to generate an artificial atmosphere for Mars without risking the depletion of our own Earthly resources. It would be an expensive endeavor for sure, but it would be much safer than risking effects related to depleting our own atmosphere in the attempt to colonize Mars. When it comes to Venus, another thing to consider is that we don't need to be on the surface to inhabit the planet. There are areas within its cloudy atmosphere which could likely support Earthly vessels.
31:42 okay so Uranus has a Northern and Southern hemisphere. This is despite the fact that it's tilted almost square on its side, leading me to believe that it's titled based on the planet's magnetic orientation, which raises a question. How do we know what's north and what's south far away? Can we see which way the field is flowing?
I have to agree more with the new definition.
Reed has a really nice voice. Also another great video, gotta love SciShow!
I propose a new idea, our sun has a twin and it is still in the making!
Once Saturn and Jupiter merge, boom have our lost solar twin!
Wow “420 million billion billion watts of power”
The OG BLAZE IT!
I for one would welcome Pluto back, apologize for Eris getting snubbed, and the Moon really is massive enough to be arguably a binary planet system with Earth. But HEY-technically being tidally locked with Earth makes the Moon Egg-shaped vs Roughly Round, so
With my etnies and chesters, I never feel my feet are insecure (if anything almost too sticky sometimes😅). The times my feet have been bucked from my pedals, I'm glad that I wasn't clipped in.
