In 8th grade, I did a scale model of the solar system. This included scale distance. In order to keep all the planets within school grounds, I had to make my sun the size of a tennis ball, and all my planets were nothing more than a speck of sand (or smaller). Mercury, Venus and Earth were in the Auditorium, where my sun was. Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus were in the Hall. Neptune in the Gym, and Pluto (which was still a planet when I was a kid) was placed just barely on school grounds, in the baseball field). I haven't done the math recently, but I want to say it was just around 1000 feet from my scale sun. My science teacher said it was the coolest solar system model she had ever seen.

If you don't believe me try this: Volume of Jupiter is: (4/3)* pi* (R^3) [where R is radius of Jupiter] The Sun has 10 times the radius, which is 10*R Therefore the volume of the Sun is: (4/3)* pi* (10*R)^3 Which is: (4/3)* pi* (R^3)* (10^3) You can see that this is just 10^3 times the volume of Jupiter!

Yeah the identical apparent size and identical pull seem to be unrelated in reality. The gravitational force of an object is supposed to be proportional to its mass, regardless of size, and also, given the same density, mass is NOT proportional to size, it goes up exponentially (that and a hydrogen based star is definitely not dense compared to a chunk of rock.). The fact the moon has the same gravitational pull as the sun has nothing to do with its identical apparent size but only a combination of mass and distance, and could be explained by saying the only "stable" orbital distance where the moon could settle was with equal pull from the sun and earth. However, calling the identical apparent size of the sun and moon a mere coincidence sounds to me at best like lazy science. Some scientists just don't like admitting they don't know something like it was something to be ashamed of.

VEE727 To fully grasp or commit all the information to heart, it sometimes requires many multiple viewings and note-taking. But I get the gist of what he's saying in this video. He said that if two planets (in this case the sun and the moon) appear to have the same size, their radii divided by their distances (from earth to the respective planet) are roughly equivalent between the two.So, (and I looked up the data to calculate this) the one is 0.0045186952235024 and the other is 0.0046366666666667. Basically, they're the same. That's the result of dividing the radius of the moon with the distance from earth to it, and then the same with the sun. It's a factoid. It doesn't provide much use, but is interesting.
@zolikoff9 жыл бұрын
VEE727 Didn't rush that part. He showed the formula for the gravitational tidal force to demonstrate that it is, in fact, proportional to (r/d)^3. It's just simple math that doesn't need explanation; anyone who knows the formula will understand it, and anyone who doesn't know the formula won't understand any explanation given for it unless he reads up on it. For such a person, it is enough for the purpose of the video to just state that the tidal force *is* proportional to that formula, without any further explanation.

If gravity does not exist or proven its shouldnt be used as a variable in math. I am sure nasa put together bogus pages long math equations that had gravity formulas being used.

Another fun facts : UY Scuti is a bright red hypergiant and pulsating variable star in the constellation Scutum. It is currently the largest known star by radius and is also one of the most luminous of its kind. It has an estimated average median radius of 1,708 solar radii, or a diameter of 2.4 billion km (1.5 billion mi; 15.9 AU); thus a volume 5 billion times that of the Sun. If placed at the center of the Solar system, its photosphere would engulf the orbit of Jupiter, and the radius is about the same size as the orbit of Saturn.

The tidal effect is not proportional to (r/d)^3. It is proportional to the mass / (diameter ^3). Mass is the density times the volume. The volume goes with r^3 so if the density were the same then their tidal effects would be the same. The moon's density is 3.34 while the sun's density is 1.4 (times that of water). The moon is 2.4 times more dense than the sun. It says this in the video if you listen carefully. There is a disclaimer that the density has to be the same.

Andrew White I know, right? I'm so furious that people don't believe in Helios anymore. I mean, the proof is right there in the sky. A very old book says that Helios travels from east to west in his flaming chariot. Well, there you have it. And the thunderstorms? Totally Zeus.
@DanielLCarrier9 жыл бұрын
Andrew White Why would God do that? If you can't predict beforehand which coincidences God would cause, and you can't figure out how common coincidences should be by chance, then you can't use coincidences as evidence regarding God.
@thepropolys9 жыл бұрын
Daniel Carrier God made the two main lights in the sky, the sun to rule the day, and the moon to rule the night (read Genesis chapter 1). The fact is that God made the universe; therefore, the sun and moon appearing the same size in the sky is a design by God. All of creation is evidence for God, and all know that God created it.

The first one is just a coincidence. The second part of what you said is true for most of the moons that are large enough to be spheres, and is no coincidence at all.

Aw, you said it takes 4 and a half seconds for light to get to the surface of the sun which isn't true at all. That's how long it would take light to travel the distance of the sun but from the inside a photon bouncing around can take almost as long as 70,000 years to get from the center to the surface.
