If we watch the sky on a clear night, far away from the pollution of the cities, we immediately understand that the universe is huge.
It is just a sensation, perhaps based on naive and intuitive reasoning: if we see a lot of stars, let's say, thousands, maybe millions of stars...this means the universe is really, really big.
I mean, the planets themselves, are big. We know that the Earth itself, is big, and yet it is a quite small planet, compared to gaseous balls like Jupiter or Saturn... Despite that, though, it is still big for us, humans. Man, we are so small!
Then, if we take into consideration the distances between planets or the distances between stars, well...those are hard to picture. It's hard to have a feeling of how distant really the planets or the stars are.
Have you ever wondered how big our Solar system is? This question might seem very simple to answer, but is it?
Let's give the real numbers first.
Light would from the Sun takes about 555 days to reach the edge of the Solar System compared to 8.25 minutes to reach the Earth. Itâs clear weâre talking about some IMMENSE distances which can be hard to imagine. Broadly speaking, the diameter of the entire solar system is 100.000 times the distance from the Sun to Earth. If you managed to design and build a spacecraft traveling at the speed of light, it would basically take one year and a half to reach the end of the solar system.
Don't worry though, because it would be a very nice trip: you wouldn't get bored at all!
For instance, approaching Jupiter, you would see that it would take 11 Earths to fit across its diameter.
However, we will probably never be able to travel at the speed of light, so the trip might get boring.
If we had to travel on a planet, at normal speed, it would take us over 570 years to get to the dark, cold, and blue Neptune.
Of course, our patience would then be rewarded by this amazing view:

The lay out of the outer solar system blew my mind the first time someone broke it down into something my brain could kind of physically comprehend. It was that map of the solar system you could manually scroll through and when I got out past Jupiter and start realising to get to the next planet I pretty much have to nearly double the distance I've already gone from the Sun to Jupiter to reach Saturn, and that this doubling just keeps happen as it moves further and further out until it reaches the Kuiper Belt; was when my mind finally got a truer sense of the scale of our system.
5:31 Neptune isnât 27B miles from the Sun. Itâs like 2.7B miles
What a great video honestly. To end it with a deer enjoying his lunch while a space ship blast off effortlessly though.
Very interesting information, absolutely loved it
When compared with the vastness beyond we tend to underestimate the size of our own Solar System and even the Earth Moon gap is so huge that you could fit in every planet in the Solar System in a row and still have a bit of space left .
Great video and information !
Fun fact: The Voyagers use hydrazine as a propellant fuel and get a fuel efficiency of upwards of 30,000 miles per gallon getting from Earth to Neptune. V1 has enough to keep going until 2040 and V2 until 2034.
If we managed to reach the speed of light to travel through space, the problem would be being able to brake and stop at the destination. Only a fraction of the journey would be at the speed of light. This would take much longer in practice than in theory.
This is so crazy... wow some unthinkable imagination measurements..
You mentioned that the distance between the sun and Neptune is 27 billion miles. Kindly clarify
Huge to us...tiny to the Milky Way Galaxy...which is also tiny.
But you know Usane B. He fast, real fast.
Thanks for the video.
The numbers also don't include slowing down. It's one thing to send a probe at that speed and slowing it down by skipping it off the atmosphere while using the gravity of Mars. If however a move similar to that was done with people on the ship, they would no longer be living people they would look more like the scraps left when you butcher a hog. It would not be pretty or survivable. When those people go to Mars the ship they are riding on will begin slowing a couple weeks before they arrive longer depending on the amount of fuel they have. If they were to get up to 30% SOL that speed would take months possibly years to slow down. Not to mention shielding. We currently have basically nothing when it comes to shields. We really can't deal with even a small rock hitting a ship going our current speeds.
Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to talk us out of going to Mars and beyond way beyond I just realize just how difficult it's going to be.
First black person? WTH
Is he wrong?
Why not LGBT people đ€Ł
You said it would take 570 years to reach Neptune, yet in in the next sentence you're mentioning Voyager 2, which was launched on Aug '77.
Am i missing something? I apologize in advance.
570 years in a manned craft. A decade for a probe.
He said it would take 570 years at something called "normal speed". Voyager 2 must be traveling at what he'd call "abnormal speed".
1:48 ââŠyou wouldnât get bored at allâŠâ
2:02 â⊠the trip might get boringâŠâ
Make your damned mind up!
5:20 not 27/43, it's 2.7/4.3
It means same thing
What is normal speed
I think the AI reading this is having a stroke.
Didn't NASA claim Voyager 1 & 2 left the solar system after passing the Heliopause? So which is the boundary? The Heliosphere or the Oort Cloud?
The Sun's gravitational influence extends far beyond the Heliopause, and likely beyond the Oort Cloud too.
No, NASA said it entered interstellar space, but the media never mentions that there's interstellar space within the solar system
Our solar system is tiny enough to look like a dot in the galaxy, yet big enough to take 35 years traveling at 15 km per SECOND in order to leave it completely!!!
you missed the "au" explanation conversion into cm, watch it again.
3D consciousness is up to the asteroid belt
4D is up to what your culture refers to as Uranus.
5D+ the stars the limits really đ€·đŒđ€·đŒđ€·đŒ
The solar system is a big clock thatâs well studied in Astrology itâs how Hinduism is so good at predicting avatars.

I always find these videos depressing when they detail the actual distances involved between planets and stars. I think it's such a waste of space that objects are so far apart or that a human lifetime is so short. Even traveling at the speed of light gets a human almost no major distance in a lifetime. I grew up reading science fiction and I believed humans would easily travel to our planets and the stars, but all my youthful dreams got shattered by reality. Now I know I'll die stuck on this insignificant planet Earth as it gets destroyed by humanity using up all its natural resources. What a bummer.
I enjoyed the video and the comparison of distances even if it somewhat saddened me.
What's the point of those billions of galaxies and trillions of stars if they can't be reached by humans, right? That's some cosmic tease?
The international space station travels the distance from the Earth to the sun and back........ TWICE in 24 hours??????????????????
Earth to sun: 93,000,000 miles....... Int'l Space station in 24 hours: 397,000,000 miles.
Is that right????????????????????????????
BIG

Want a part in Nobel prize? I solved dark matter and energy and need help getting this simple but true solution in public view. Hint: what could make the heliopause do a 180?

Humans will not reach the surface of Mars before the year 2099
guys, please grow up and go metric.
We Americans, the world's sole superpower, do not use the metric system except for tools
@@johnjackson8709 hahahahahaha
@@johnjackson8709 The rest of the world agrees the metric system is far superior. Americans: *spits dummy out and throws a tantrum* âWe are the worlds superpower, we donât want to change for the better wah wahâ
ONCE AGAIN, people with a FINITE mind are trying to comprehend what INFINITY IS!
Our minds may be finite, but our conscience may not be. Also, the Solar System is finite.
Calculus literally deals with infinite sums and derivativesđââïž
Wth are you talking about đ€Š
Humans might as well be fungi, for all the power we lack in terms of travel.
You know why you dont have a lot of viewers? You dont even show how you could scale the solar system even it is hard because of distance, you should try to example like grain of sand pee tomato to represent as planet
9:50 wait waitâŠ. I was enjoying this video until I heard âwe will see first black person and woman safely landing on the moonâ
Okay, politics is great and all that, but donât ya think when it comes to exploring the solar system and the rest of the universe itâs a human race thing as a whole? Letâs just get HUMANS back on the moon, on mars, venturing further into the solar system. Just didnât see the fucken point in having to highlight any race or gender. Completely broke the immersion for me getting political correctness and woke crap thrown in my face.
Yep, absolute garbage. I just don't understand what the significance of the colour of someone's skin is and why it's worthy of a very prominent mention. I come to this channel for the science, not racial bullsh*t. Probably time to look elsewhere to a channel not infected with identity nonsense.
Why do you have to add first black man or women. What about first midget, first Eskimo, first albino.... Always pandering to them. If they study and become astronauts then they will go.
Because it comes from NASA itself...
Why do you have a problem with it? I think we know why....
Why does it matter?
