And all 7 other planets would fit between earth and the moon. Space is big. It might even be bigger than your mum.

The sun is 400x bigger than moon, 400x far from earth-moon. It makes they look same in size from the earth

Ceres? Did we add a planet? I admit I didn’t not check daily but I think I would have noticed that. ?1

3 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 1

Yes, Ceres was originally a planet. It was reclassified as an asteroid in the 1850's. Now it's a dwarf planet, along with Pluto.

I think it was classified as a dwarf planet a while ago, in the early 00's. I remember it happened but only after seeing it lined up here xD

Fun fact, which I verified: You could fit all the planets side-by-side between the Earth and the Moon.

I JUST LEARNED GRAVITY HAS A SPEED.

3 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

I just watched a video on gravitational waves and got excited. It’s the same as the speed of light for anyone who got this far.

3 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

I've never heard/thought this, yet suddenly it sounds like a no-brainer concept. But speed of light!? Can haz link pls, I love to learn!

3 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Anything without mass travels at the speed of light. But look up the LIGO detector and the measurement of gravitional waves, it's wild!

Since it's a gas giant and most of its mass is concentrated closer to its core, I presume it has a lower rotational mass moment of inertia.

Do we still not know if gas giants have solid cores?

I think the sun is faster but obviously much bigger so it’s not rotating at a faster rate.

Shorter rotation time, and a much larger diameter, that sucker is MOVING! I had no idea.

3 years ago | Likes 27 Dislikes 0

It also makes it flatter at the poles than at the equator because it spins so fast.

Which I'd wager helps the geometric polar shape

Earth is like that too actually. Just not as much as Jupiter. Jupiter's also made of gas, which is more mobile than rock and water.

Hypergiant is a strange term, since it's more to do with luminosity than physical size. It's not THAT much bigger than Betelgeuse, which-

3 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

-is a supergiant star, but it is significantly brighter. Comparatively, both stars are quite a bit bigger than the Pistol star, which is-

Hey man(or woman), I just googled largest star and that's what came up. I like space stuff so have an upvote!

Betelgeuse dwarfs Sirius by far more that Sirius dwarfs our own sun, if I recall.

Good science is meant to explain the natural world to people, and the 2006 definition of planet wasn't natural. It was for convenience.
