- The two biggest planets in our Solar System in one telescope view. And catastrophe is imminent. If Jupiter and Saturn suddenly were on a collision course, which of the two planets would emerge victorious? How would the composition of these planets affect the outcome? And what impact would this have on the rest of our Solar System? What is a great conjunction?

What if: Jupiter is sometimes referred to as a failed star

Welp, i was hoping for a ratio but nah, too many likes
Every sht we put into Jupiter we help it progress to become a star by "not even a number"

"Jupiter is sometimes referred to as a failed star."
Don't say that, Jupiter tried its best. 🙁
Jupiter tried its best :)
Yeah. I don’t want my man to get harrassed.🙁
Yeh Jupiter tried and one day it might get true support jupiter
Yes yes yes our solar system will become an binary system and we will die 😁
lol 😂 guys he really did try 🤣
I think the most realistic risk posed to Earth wasn't mentioned- the orbits of the planets are changed, accidentally flinging Earth into deep space by itself. Isolated planets with no stars have been discovered.
5:26 In other words, what you said earlier about the event turning Jupiter into a star was wrong. Unless 247 Saturns fell into Jupiter.
Wtf are you on about? That would've made Jupiter a star bigger than the sun.. where'd you lost your brain buddy?

@Burger Town no cuz Jupiter would destroy saturn so we still have Jupiter
@@Rufuzz7thst Roche limit would actually destroy Saturn before it collides, the only consequence would be the asteroids of the two planets orbit being played on internal solar system

whichever wins, the Earth is screwed as the the two big bois are asteroid destroyers that protect smaller bois like Earth and Mars.

Once those 2 are gone UrAnus will rule that part of the neighborhood,,,,
Props to the cameraman for going to space and making the planets collide
This is interesting. I also wanted to know what would happen if Saturn has the same mass as Jupiter. I wonder what would happen to our solar system. I hope that will be in the future
It wouldnt be good
Nope, saturn is losing mass.
@@samuelhere41 pls explain
Well that's a story for another what if..
Ok, so I did some testing using a sandbox simulation. Jupiter and Saturn are too far away to effect each others orbits. And the sun wouldnt feel much effect either.
The inner planets would barely notice anything
uranus and neptune were ok too.
Most, if not all the asteroids would still be in their same orbital plane
So actually, it wouldnt be that bad
Hats off to cameraman for recording this event so clearly with different angles

It happened long ago.
Jupiter ate the Solar System
Too bad it was terrible .
Jupiter is the fastest planet in spinning speed, and it is said Saturn is the lightest planet despite the size. And Jupiter also has rings
Personally I think if an event like this ever happened it would be the end of us here on earth. Regardless of how far out that collision would be the debris IS going to hit us and it won't be pretty. We humans tend to forget that it was by accident (an astroid strike) that we got here. The dinosaur would still be king had it not been for that asteroid hit.
Unless u believe in god. I don't but it definitely isn't impossible
Not to mention the disruption of the Asteroid Belt, with hundreds of thousands of asteroids going our way. Yeh, it won't be pretty. There are up to 1.7 million asteroids more than 1 KM in diameter and over 200 asteroids over 100 KM in diameter. Imagine if a couple of smaller asteroids hit the Earth with full force or one of the larger ones hits the Earth, that would be the end of all life known to us in just a couple of hours, maybe even minutes or seconds. A 100 KM asteroid hitting the Earth's ocean would probably create tsunamis hundreds of miles tall. If it hits one of the cities or land areas, we would have debris flying hundreds of miles into space from even the Earth's crust.
do u know how damn big space is, the chances of any significant number of debris hitting earth would be astronomically low
@@debbiefaron8746 Not if Jupiter and Saturn were to collide with each other. That would entirely disrupt the Asteroid Belt with a lot of those monstrous rocks going our way with that type of scenario. Luckily this won't happen, but I wouldn't be looking forward for this hypothetical scenario anyways if it were to happen, just the simulation lol. Something must already be very wrong in our solar system for these two gas giants to come up that close to each other that they'd collide. They are still about 400 million miles away when they are closest to each other on their respective axis.
@@pacifist1360 he didnt mention the asteroid belt at all but like i said space is big, jupiter and saturn are way to far away to disturb the asteroid belt at all.

I am thoroughly amazed at the planets we have in our own solar system. One day in a far future when we have mastered and I mean truly mastered interplanetary travel in our own solar system we will be able to mine the various planets to make another planet. We have all the ingredients so to speak to do this. For instance if one day we were able to make a mining ship as big as California to suck out the gases in Jupiter & Saturn and take it to Mars along with the water from Uranus & Pluto etc we will be able to literally terraform planets. Not to mention the mineral wealth of all the asteroids from these planets and the asteroid belt surrounding our solar system.
Coincidence? No.
We are so fortunate to have these planets in our solar system.
The solar system is very mysterious and I don’t want to see the great conjunction.
Jupiter is sometimes ERRONEOUSLY referred to as a failed star. It barely has a quarter the mass needed to be a brown dwarf, let alone a star. It was never close to becoming a star; it's just a gas giant. Still my favorite planet!
I was just typing that. I think 13 Jupiter masses is the low end for a brown dwarf.
@@TheAdministration IKR
I've heard it may require 75 to 80 Jupiters to make a star, that is begin hydrogen fusion.
@@bradhills8970 Right, if anything, brown dwarves are failed stars because they don't have the mass needed to sustain hydrogen fusion
@@bradhills8970 That's a possibility but not a known to be true fact... But if you went to 1/2 - 1 order magnitude higher, than it could be a given... Fusion might be able to begin, but would it be able to stabilize and to be self feeding or would it consume to fast and burn out... Star Birth is no easy feat. Everything has to have the right conditions. It could still fall to a Brown Dwarf or be just right and sustain to a Red Dwarf.
fight between siblings
meanwhile sun : ಠ︵ಠ
Isnt the sun like a mom
@@WelshDorito Ya and Jupiter-was ganna replace his mom as a sun but it is a failed star
It is knows as a failure to this day
Jupiter and Saturn aren't brother planets, they're father and son planets (Jupiter ; son) (Saturn; father)
I don’t know why I haven’t yet, but I’m about to become a subscriber. This is something I’ve never considered.
I have a feeling it’d have the same results being that Jupiter is so large, but “What If” it collided with one of the ice giants? I’m not a chemist, but being they’re made of methane & nitrogen, I’m sure the result would be a little different.
I don’t know if you take request, but if you do, that’d be an awesome take. Thanks for all of the videos as they’re all extremely interesting.
Meanwhile in another universe: what if Jupiter and Saturn never crashed
Earth and it’s climate: I’m starting to see a potential self-replicating pattern here I’m pretty sure I don’t want to see.
Saturn: Ok so my rings-
Jupiter: OUR rings.
SHIP
Russian anthem starts playing
POV: Jupiter & Saturn got into a big fight. Jupiter, being a tad larger, took it too far. They got close and started hitting. For humans, this was 'colliding'. The Solar System would most likely be wiped out because of a fight.
Jupiter would need to be 80 times more massive to become the smallest possible star, the red dwarf. It never came close to being a star or even a brown dwarf. We should be grateful it's not a brown dwarf either. That amount of gravity would drastically alter the orbits of the inner planets within the solar system. It would also fall closer into the center of the solar system since Saturn's gravity could no longer anchor it in its current orbit. In most cases this would eject the inner rocky planets, but more likely it would also cause elliptical variations which would inevitably lead to planetary collisions. There's also the issue of an elliptical orbit causing Earth to move in and out of the habitable zone causing extreme variations in its temperature as it moved closer and further away from the sun. Assuming the Brown Dwarf Jupiter became a "Hot-Jupiter" and was closer to the sun than our rocky planets, then it would be possible to exist in a stable orbit around both of them. However, at its current location, Jupiter as a Brown Dwarf would completely disrupt the orbits of every planet.
Seriously your scientific knowledge will fall on deaf ears with this re*arded crowd!! I just watch these vids to laugh at all the scientific inaccuracy and pointless things stated!! I.e why did he refer to the planets rotational speed?? We surely want to know the linear speed through space of the planets and angle of impact so the energy of the impact could be calculated?
Is this another one where everyone dies?
Why are those my favorites?!
@eti rosliyawati Yes, we did. Without Jupiter or Saturn, Our solar system would change and not be the same. Therefore, we might get colder or hoter.
@@youtube__girl_1177 no we did not. 5:17
>Why are those my favorites where everyone dies
>Edgy asf Natsu profile picture
yeah ok
@@sharjeelahmed7913 Oh. I guess I didn't pay much attention to that part.
If they collided, Jupiter's mass would be slightly higher and it would be extremely hot and much larger. But as it cooled it would shrink back down to the same size as Jupiter.
Respect the cameraman man for going into a alternative universe and recording all of this
If Jupiter becomes a star earth: “ IM BURNING!!” Jupiter: “at least I’m burning “
5:02 what was that? That "yeah" lmaooo
Please consider: Been asking on every video and post you guys make for over 2 months:
What if we kept growing at the same rate after puberty ended? How large would we be by the time people typically die from natural causes and how hard would living be? In this scenario people would be built to take the extra physical stress from getting as large as possible.
It think it sth like this it was done. We would grow until we reached 13-14 ft . After that for a normal human who weight 150 - 180 pounds it will be extremely difficult bc our heart will have difficulty pumping the blood to the brain.
For more information check the biology of giraffes
@@DLCS-2 the heart would have to grow fast enough to compensate the difference in our bodies. If we grew this way 14ft would not be the finish line. It's all about how our organs grow with our body mass.
Hehe js DIEJHWHE is us is us our s and the is
D
Imagine having a power to destroy planets with just one energy attack .
that would be awful because a few humans would totally do it.
@@De-M-oN i mean within minutes someone would literally blow up the entire Earth.
Thanks I was suggesting you to do this
About the animation: wouldn't the gasses start to mix long before they actually collided?
About the event: This kind of impact would knock Jupiter/Jupiturnus out of its orbit, causing mayhem in the solar system. Too bad you didn't explore that
Ye, I was waiting for it
Such an impact would completely disrupt the orbits of the rest of planets. And even if it didn't, the thousands of rocks and surviving moonlets would completely obliterate us.
4:24 Jupiturnus! 😍😍😍
Hey what if! I got good news! Now you have MORE subs! Thanks What If team keep it up!
“YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO KEEP SATURN AND JUPITER FROM “ dolphin noises “SMASHING INTO EACHOTHER

Hi verified user!
Idk about that lol
Masako you're here?

Oh, hi Masako!
I love theses videos 💗✨
Jupiter: LOL USE YOUR FIST BOZO
Saturn: IMAGINE BEING SINGLE
I get it lol
A lot of people don't know this but when shoemaker-levy 9 crashed into Jupiter. The hole that the comet put in its atmosphere was a little bigger than Earth. So I couldn't even imagine what that would have done to us. Everything would probably had been fried like standing next to an atom bomb when it goes off. We can thank Jupiter for taking that shot for the team.
Jupiter needs to be 80 times more massive to become a star and it is 3 times more massive than Saturn. So the Jupiturnus would be only almost 1/3 more massive than Jupiter. When I have seen Saturn and Jupiter collide, Jupiter actually lost mass, not gained it instantly.
@nine bro (old user sml fan) well I don't think there's even 50% chance of it becoming brown dwarf. It will need more than 20-80 masses of Jupiter to become brown dwarf let alone Red dwarf. Also Jupiter to become like sun, it doesn't need 1000 masses, more than 150 will be enough to start fusion in its core.
If Jupiter become a star, Neptune could definitely become a habitable planet.
Titan and Europa would be engulfed by the new star.
And Pluto would have a new look with all the ice melted.
Not necessarily, this all depends on how big/hot a star you turn Jupiter into.
Also Neptune has no surface so how it became habitable when it doesn't have a surface?
@@shahaffiq5860 If Neptune was in the green zone, life could start inside the oceans of Neptune.
@@jameslherisson793 Where? in the mantle? lol, even though Neptune's mantle is called ammonia ice ocean, it's still very hot
@@amn2760 Of course not silly lol. Much higher than the mantle, just enough to where it’s lukewarm.
3:39 Saturn: CONGRATILATIONS JUPITER, YOU ATE THE BIGGEST PART OF MY BODY, NOW IM CERES BUT SMALLER
Where would all the moons and ice go ? Would the magnetic field be bigger? Would meteors get through until our body guard reformed? What if all that material caused Jupiter to collapse into a black hole just for 5 seconds ?
Jupiter would be an black hole with radius of 30 milimeters,it impossible to form a black hole by that way,almost everything in universe include us and everything you can imagine if been compressed to an limit then it will become a black hole.maybe it will but not for the jupiter case,given it enough time and it will happened.
@@wenomeyouindesama6027 only when an object has an extreme amount of mass and energy can they turn into black holes that's exactly why we usually only see stars become black holes
In the movie 2010 they actually turned Jupiter into a small star and thought that it would be a good thing.
Jupiter is far enough away from Earth that it might not increase the heat the much ... but it might cause the planets to go into turmoil and change their orbits of the planets .. that might in effect cause the planet to heat up though.
The amount of additional mass required for Jupiter to reach even the smallest of star status would DEFINITELY cause chaos with orbital trajectories throughout the solar system.
To clarify in the movie/book, humans don't make the decision to turn Jupiter into a star, aliens do (computers left around by aliens to be precise). The purpose is to convert Jupiter's moons (Europa mostly) into worlds that can support life.

Jupiter is in the freaking boonies in relation to Earth. We’re closer to the sun than we are to Jupiter, and the sun is over 1,000 times more massive.
At worst, I think we would just get a more lit up night sky, but not much.

Do one video on what if Uranus and Neptune collided. Uranus is bigger than Neptune so you might think it will swallow Neptune but Neptune is heavier than Uranus so it would swallow Uranus instead.

Jupiter rotating at 13km per second and Saturn a little under 10km per second. To put this into perspective, Earth rotates at a snails crawl when compared to Jupiter and Saturn. Earth is slow at 460 meters a second. That to me is crazy and it kind explains how they keep all of their gases. Isnt gravity a SOB.
Law of Gravity is a law...it will eventually get you.
Why did they state this information? We surely need to know the planets linear speed throug space and the angle of impact to calculate the energy and force of the impact?? Whilst the rotations will add some energy into the equation it it not even nearly as relevant as the linear speed the planets will be moving towards each other!!(I say linear because it is easiest to assume they are travelling directly towards each other) this chanel really is sooo inaccurate lol!!
@@robertowen8281 I remember a couple years ago I read an article about Jupiter and Saturn and it said Jupiter and Saturn bullied Uranus and Neptune and it said that Jupiter and Saturn pushed Uranus and Neptune away from there orbits
Here's one for you Riddle, what if we could create and study a singularity? The very notion is impossibe not just because of what it is, but because it is so dense and the gravity is so extreme that no information leaves it, not even light (if such an object truely exists) and if they exist inside black holes, as soon as you cross the event horizon it ceases to be a point in space and becomes a point in time....this could be a great subject
Those two colliding together might even create a star

“What if our solar system collided with another one”

I Can Just Imagine Earth Eating Popcorn As Jupiter And Saturn Began To Brawl
Jupiturnus sounds pretty sweet ngl, we should definitely do that!
This scenario also forget to add the implications of what would happen to both Jupiter's and Saturn's moons. Would the moons' be flung across the solar system like Russian roulette? What impact would this mean on the asteroid field between Mars and Jupiter after it supposedly swallows Saturn as its mass increases, so will its gravity affect the solar system as a whole?
It would seem it's becoming a "trend" for planets and moons to come into existence by "colliding" with something else. It felt like it's a cheap and easy way to answer some complicating theories.
I guess that's why they are called "educated scientists" while you are called "some guy on youtube."
I wonder what the merge impact would have I terms of gravity - What our planets position remain the same or would we be pushed or pulled out of its current line 🤔
I always said that if the gas giants collided that’s it man
