How far away is the Nearest Star?
Vložit

- Distances in space are huge, but it's difficult to visualise just how far things are away, so I thought I'd have a go at showing how far away the nearest star to the Sun is, by creating a scale model, shrinking the Sun down to the size of a golf ball. The scale is roughly 33 billion:1.
All distances shown are straight line distances from my start location just south of Manchester in England. The actual distance travelled is larger. The nearest star is actually quite some distance away! And this is just the nearest star - some of the visible stars are many hundreds of times further and the centre of our own galaxy is 7,000 times further away just for starters.

I thought you were just gonna throw the ball to the other side of the park...
But no, you drove from England to Spain.
Lol me too
that doesn't even make sense he just said pluto was further away in the park -_-

Damn, so he drove across the ocean?
Drove 700+ miles to make a 5 minute video. My hat goes off to you sir.
700+ miles I could drive and still be in Texas. He went through 3 countries. Man.
Maybe he was going there anyways and decided to make an educational video at the same time
@@gtownwr That is Europe. There are places, you can visit four countries in less than a half day with a car. Or you can visit three countries by foot in some hours.
Hopefully he was already going to Spain on vacation and the video was an afterthought. If not and he indeed traveled that far just to make this video, that's freaking awesome, Man!
Give him views to pay the tab for that trip.
The rule of CZcams once again is applied here. No overly edited thumbnail; the video answers the title exactly and in a very interesting and intuitive way; it's short, given how far he had to travel.
This is the video I hope people will find or get recommended when they're interested in the question.
Bruh, I randomly watched a random space video two days ago and now half of my feed is random space videos. Obviously, I keep watching them because I'm here

You: You watch it.

This also made me understand why, when the milky way and the andromeda galaxy will collide in a few billion years, there won't actually be any stars crashing into each other.
Nope. But the sun could be pushed closer to the center of the galaxy by gravitational forces. This, in turn, could cause global warming.

What's kind of crazy to me is that even though there is a possibility of other life in the universe, this representation of distance makes me realise that we are alone in a sense. Our current understanding of space travel will never allow us to venture this far, let alone further ventures.
thats also my thoughts, even if we somehow got at the speed of light, the closest star is still years aways.
@@anto_fire8534 I think If we manage to move with the speed of light we for sure will also have a way to teleport
@@eliteknight2137 I guess
It's an exciting idea but we will never travel to the stars. Even if there are other civilisations out there the distances are just too vast. And they, like us, will be condemned to travel through space at a snail's pace. Let's just make sure we look after Planet Earth.
We'll find a way to freeze ourselves for 70.000 years on the way there.

Before this video i lived with the fear of some star colliding with us. Now i can live my life without worries.
Bad news, our galaxy and the andromeda galaxy are on a collision course and will eventually hit each other.
The good news is it isn't due to start for another 3.5bn years. And unbelievably, space is that big and us so insignificantly tiny that scientists don't believe it will be an extinction event.
😂
@@craigseddon4884The star density far from galaxy center (and we are far) is so low, that the probability that another star would even come close enough for us to feel it in any way is negligible.
@asmodean7239 exactly, I think compared to most people I have a reasonable grasp of how vast the universe is and how utterly tiny Earth or even our solar system is.
But even so, two galaxies, each with 100 trillion stars and a plethora more of planets colliding and almost all coming out relatively unscathed seems an impossible thought.
@@Regarded69 no, five billion years before they predict that will start
Another criminally underrated CZcams channel 👍
I honestly thought he was just going to drive to the end of the road of something. WTF!
This scared me.
There's a lot of space out there!
Yea, and just think this was the closest star. Now imagine how far away other galaxies are... To be so far away from them to see them as a little dot in a telescope but its a huge collection around 300 billion stars with this kind of distance between each one... Tell me there aint more life out there :)
Well that puts colonization of Proxima Centauri b in the realm of science fiction. I'm honestly depressed now...
@@John-ir4id Lets just hope someone puts humans on Mars before that point, so there is still a chance for mankind.
Elandil5 the alleged trick to long distance interstellar travel is to bend space time. Which is some what possible. Gravity does it. There is hope. Just keep in mind we know so little about what’s really going on. Nd that any day a discovery could be made that completely changes the very fundamentals of what we consider reality.
Son: Dad, how far is the Andromeda Galaxy?
This man: Come, son. Let’s go for a drive
Actually laughed out loud. I'll be smirking to myself all day. Ta.
Proxima centauri is in the milky way, think u have to go to the moon for andromeda lol
Actually, I'm pretty sure you need to drive to another Planet for that. :D
If the sun is as small as the ball in the clip, then the dad would need to drive his son all the way pass Jupiter in order to reach Andromeda galaxy
@@kuribayashi84 i am thinking the other side of the planet
any people that are struggling to wrap your head around this, picture you live in space and see the sun as a golf ball and earth as a gran of sand, you can travel to neptune in a 10 second walk. just imagine if you wanted to go visit your friend that lives around the nearest star, youd have to travel this long (1200 kilometres driving at 100kmh put next to a 10 second walk to neptune) as a space being. this is blowing my brain up.
You're just describing what happens in the video. The only difference is you place an imaginary friend on the nearest star.
I’ve watched a bunch of these videos, but for some reason this one gave the best sense of scale. Good job! As soon as my grandson is old enough to have a firm concept of distances, I will definitely show him this video. I think he’ll need to go on a couple long road trips to really get it. Thank you.
You gave me an idea. A mission. Recreate this with my son. Not leting him know that or how long we will drive.
😂
Not only a great visual representation of the sheer distances involved, but a genius way to write off a road trip.
I do have same thought
I was wondering if a University paid!
Is it a great visualization though? I don't even have a good intuition about the difference between a golfball diameter and the distance to the next town over, let alone UK and Spain. I would have to do the math to have any idea how many golfballs away that is. If I can't intuit it within like an order of magnitude, i'd say it doesn't even meet the qualification to be a visualization. If the star was actually at he other side of the park, maybe this part would be useful.
But we havent even touched on the comparison between the diameter of the sun and the golfball, so any intuition we could have gained from the analogy fails here again. How many golfballs is the sun? No clue, I'd have to pull out my calculator (and google).
The only way this is in any way helpful is if you've never ever actually even seen the numbers on how far the next star is and in that case it'll just make you go "wow, that's really far (how far? no idea, just really far)". I'd say just saying the star is 4 * 10^13 km away gives at least as good of an idea, but I'd argue much better.

This made me realize that the fact that we can see any light from stars besides our sun must mean they are unimaginably bright, considering how far away they are. The universe is astounding.
And don't forget the light we see is not the actual star itself, it is the light it emitted that has travelled many light years to get to us

Maybe you could if it was suspended in space and burning as brightly as the Sun

Mind-blowing, I couldn't visualise the distance until you showed us. Thank you!
Imagine a light source the size of a golf ball so bright you can see it 1200 km away. Absolutely mind blowing
The farthest away ones that we still see with our naked I are hundreds of times farther
The fact that they interact gravitationally (in form of galaxy) is much more mind blowing , given that gravity decreases in inverse proportion to the square of the distance.
To be fair there isn’t much in the way and no curvature
it is a source, that will EVENTUALLY reach a recipient.. If you fart, it does not dissipate, it will reach the other side of planet.
The only reason you wouldn't be able to see it would be light pollution from the much bigger light sources, the sun and other stars. If there was no other light in the universe I would bet you could see a lit light bulb from any distance, as long as the light from it has had enough time to reach you.

He had to get groceries in Spain anyway.
As an American, it very strange to me how you can drive/ferry from England to Spain within a couple days. To get from east to west coast would take almost a week driving
Dissapointing Person funny. That’s what fascinates me about the US: the sheer size of your country! The distances are unreal
Thanks for showing this distance so we can understand.

For reference, at this scale, the speed of light would be approximately 0.03km/h.
Wow, fascinating perspective, thanks !
= 30 m/h or 30 meters per hour which is 0.5 m per min, so about the speed of a garden snail.
I converted the speed into units easier for us to understand. 0.030 km/h is difficult to imagine so it doesn't help you appreciate how slow light must be travelling in this analogy.

Great analogy! Puts it in place!
It’s amazing how small stars are compared to how far apart they are and yet we can still see their light.
This is all I thought about the whole drive. Is it a testament to how bright stars are? or how incredibly dark and empty the universe is?
How far of a drive is a star in Andromeda? on a clear night we can see Andromeda. How is it possible that we can see light from that far away?
And that thier heat can still essentially cook us alive. I think about that stuff sometimes too
Pretty sure Andromeda is something like hundreds of million of light years. The lights we perceive now was emitted when humanoids were in very early development, only reaching us now
@@Sentinel_ICBMAndromeda is over 2.5 million light years away, as compared to the star exampled here, which is 4 light years away. He would have to drive 466,250,000 miles to reach the equivalent in this model, well past the orbit of Jupiter which is 365,000,000 miles away in real life.
