How BIG Is Our Solar System? | Earth Science

The sun really blinded me

Further means more, farther means distance

The Earth is approximately 150,000,000 kilometers from the Sun, not miles.

I remember I watched this when I was like 5 of something.

BRo he ate drink pluto

I hope yall packed some lunches

What a bunch of unprovable pseudoscience.

One thing I've always pondered is what if we as a species actually came from Venus in the past but somehow lost our technological knowledge? I mean think of what we are doing to the earth now, we are filling our atmosphere with greenhouse gases and destroying it. Maybe we did the same to Venus in the distant past and will do the same to Mars in the future (I've heard of a theory that we came from mars but Venus seems much more likey considering its atmosphere).
The problem for us as a species is if this is the case once we destroy Mars we have nowhere left to go.
Sounds horrible but maybe we are a planetary disease

"And we have our next planet.
Insert joke here."
nahhh lol

And he didn't even include the Oort Cloud, which at 7 Trillion km away would be as distant as Cuba in his model!

6o or 7o lightminutes wide.?

No proxima centauri?

What does the Starship Enterprise have in common with toilet paper? They both wipe out Klingons and wrap around Uranus...🤣🤣🤣

Now do the Kuiper Belt, Oort Cloud, and Heliopause

I gotta ask: Are you getting your miles and kilometers confused? The Earth is about 93 million miles from the sun, which is about 150 million kilometers.

Am I right in thinking that even on this scale, our galaxy still wouldn't fit on Earth?

Well explain buddy 👌👍❤👊

Evreybody loves pluto

Nice, but metric numbers mean nothing to me. Use miles please.

When you see how far away the likes of neptune and Pluto are, it really makes you wonder when scientists talk about planets on the other side of our galaxy and how they have measured them and are telling you what their composition is. Like really??!

Why do almost all never show or say anything about the Kupiter belt

I hate the UK.

ÀaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaeaeeaeaEEEEeaeeaeaeaeeaeaeaeaeeaeaeeaeaeae

Pluto is still slightly bigger than Eris. Eris is just more massive.

'150 million miles, 13,5 london buses at our scale' ah gotta love brits

,,,,,,,,,,,

Good effort but, to be clear, the planets do not define the edge of the solar system, which extends to either the heliopause or the oort cloud, depending on your definition of "edge". The heliopause is about 85 AU beyond Pluto. The oort cloud is between 2000 and 100,000 AU from the sun (way, way, way beyond Eris). Voyager I, launched in 1977 and traveling at 35,000 miles per hour, reached the heliopause in 2012. NASA estimates that the Voyager spacecraft could reach the oort cloud in another 40,000 years.

The Oort cloud???!

The Sun would be very distinguishable from the other stars from Neptune. It is the brightest object in the sky from every planet. Even from Pluto, you could damage your eyes looking directly at it. During Pluto daylight, the sun is still 300 times brighter than a full moon on Earth.

If our galaxy(Milky Way) were the size of North America our entire solar system would fit in a tea cup.

This is awesome! Saturn smells like liquid farts 💨 🪐

The crazy thing is that the distance between the sun and Farfarout, currently known as the most far-out object in the solar system, is about 14,200 times the sun's diameter. I mean, it's crazy how far the sun's magnetic field (or any other cosmic object like black holes, etc.) can reach out. Mind-blowing.

I'm sorry but the solar system is much bigger than here

Respect to the cameraman who went past the solar system to film

Actually earth is 93 million miles from sun. Not 150

this solar sytem is small?

I think you messed a few zeros from 40 TRILLIONS! DISTANCE ACROSS SOLAR SYSTEM 149 BIILLIONS NOT 40 TRILLIONS! if the distance was 40 trillions then it would need 10738 years for the voyager to leave the solar system, not 40 years!

Pluto IS the biggest dwarf planet. We’ve known that for years now.

I really am wondering how the Sun's gravity is strong enough to keep planets like pluto and Eris around it in an orbit

Earth is about 150 million KILOMETERS from the sun. Not miles.

You still didn't make it out to the end of the solar system. Still farther out is the heliosphere, the edge of the solar system, where the effects of the solar wind end. It is the boundary between the solar system and interstellar space. The Nasa spacecraft Voyager I and Voyager II just within the last few years passed through the heliosphere.

"Space is big." You don't say.

Wait, 150 million miles? I thought it was 93 million.

Can you tell us the size of the universe on this scale please

How big is jupiter
