Why do the Planets orbit in a Plane?

  • All 8 planets in our solar system seem to orbit in roughly the same plane (give or take a few degrees). Why don't they just orbit whichever way they want? Why did the solar system turn out so... flat?

    The greatest thing I've seen in the sky- It was 1976, and I was sitting on my lawn at night with my cat (Cicero) on my lap. I was looking at the stars when I noticed that 3 of them were in a prefect isosceles triangle. I was quite surprised. And then...they converged into one at the center! I've never gotten over that.

    The weirdest thing I’ve ever seen in the sky was symmetrical “omega” shaped lightning (kinda like this:♎️ but no line at the bottom). It began in the top center then branched to the “legs” and had little straight bolts radiating outward all over. The entire thing had perfect mirror symmetry. It was spectacular for the eye-blink that it lasted. Then I sat in a thunderstorm with my camera for half an hour. No good pictures, of course. I didn’t see it happen again.

    Honestly, the weirdest thing I've seen in the sky was while stargazing with a friend and we saw a light dot tracking across the sky. Now that is pretty common since it is a satellite reflecting sunlight. But this particular object then made a perfect 90 degree angle without accelerating or decelerating and happily continued on it's path perpendicular to the path it had taken earlier. And that time my friend and I hadn't eaten any funny mushrooms.

    • @ScienceAsylum
      @ScienceAsylum  Před 7 lety +9

      Being a scientist is a lot of work. I have a bachelor's and a master's degree in physics, but people with PhD's probably wouldn't call me a "scientist." There's a lot of research that goes into that. You have to really WANT it, otherwise the stress wont be worth it and you'll give up. I'm not trying to discourage you. If you want it, then go for it. I'm just trying to give you some warning. What subject are you thinking?

    • @victherocker
      @victherocker Před 6 lety +2

      1. long before the planets form they were actually dust and tiny particles that were flying around. so when they were flying around and clashing into each other at the same time, it made a planet that spinned.
      2. objects with mass always have gravity. but why they have gravity is still a mystery. scientists propose a force particle called graviton that creates gravity but it just doesn't work out well

    • @Fanaprimo
      @Fanaprimo Před 6 lety +7

      +Victor Nguyen
      Gravity is an illusion, mass makes a dent in space creating that illusion.
      If a Graviton particle was true, all mass would send Gravitons to all other mass in the universe and by that deplenting itself of energy,
      therefore it's existence.
      Earth would not be here after 5 billion of years.

  • @Tetracarbon
    @Tetracarbon Před 7 lety +45

    Why does the net up/down motion cancel out so neatly? Like I recognise the cloud has net angular momentum, but the cancelation of forces isn't intuitive to me yet.
    I'm nit picking here, and I have seen particle simulations that make it clear visually, but this is something I would not be able to explain to someone else.

    • @ScienceAsylum
      @ScienceAsylum  Před 7 lety +8

      Well, I wouldn't say it "neatly" cancels out. There are plenty of little comets and asteroids that orbit whichever way they like (because the matter that made them didn't make it into the disk before they formed).

      Cool excuse, and it seems like you're not from America, but Sci fi means science fiction and nothing else. There is no such thing as a hypothetical theory in science either. A theory (theory of evolution, theory of general relativity) explains something and is supported by massive amounts of facts and experiments, etc. The layman uses theory differently from the scientist.

    Before watching your video my guess was the same plane because of the planets gravitational pull on each other.
    Thanks for the video and interesting links.

    Nick the wierdest thing I ever saw in the sky was Comet Holmes in 2007. It was wierd because it was totally unexpected. It got crazy bright right next to the Casseopia constellation. I use that constellation a lot to find Andromeda with my telescope, and know everything there that is _suppose_ to be in that area or at least I think I do :p
    One night I was doing just that and BAM! There was this green blob!
    I had seen bright comets before ( halleys, hale/bopp ) and knew comets can be green too, but this was my first green bright comet.
    I was like, There is now way I'm the first to see this. I did a specific internet search to confirm my suspicion lol.

    The weirdest thing I ever saw in the sky was:
    As a newby, I set up my telescope in my backyard to look at the moon and soon realized the moon would be blocked by the branches of a spruce tree.
    Thoroughly ticked, I took one last glance at the moon and saw a slight change in a darker spot. I focused in and saw in another spot, a glint, and then more.
    It was moonlight reflected off the exoskeleton and skin of spiders, hundreds of them, working on their little snares and tiny webs.
    The moon was providing light at a very low angle that any surface of the spider’s body would reflect it into the ill advised telescope position.
    That was the weirdest thing I ever saw in the sky, one autumn evening.
