Neil deGrasse Tyson Explains Planetary Physics to Russell Peters

Are atomic models just tiny Solar Systems? Is it just Solar Systems all the way down? Neil deGrasse Tyson gets to the heart of those questions as he offers an informed rebuttal.
Why don't some of our smaller planets have moons? Neil delves deeply into the laws that govern planetary physics. Learn about the struggle for Gravitational Influence. How many moons does Jupiter have? The answer may surprise you.
Of course, Neil doesn't miss an opportunity to remind everyone why Pluto isn't a planet either. He explains eloquently why Pluto doesn't make it into the club, while also tackling other planetary questions; Why are planets round? Why do we have seasons? Why does the tide come in and out? All this, and more, will be answered by your personal astrophysicist.

[@buttmuddbrooks]

This format is fantastic. The visuals are absolutely awesome. Helpful for learning! Do many many many many more of these videos!

[@denisenj7648]

Pluto used to be the little runt of the solar system. Now it's king of the kuiper belt. I like pluto more now

[@mamorris23]

i could listen to him answer science questions from layman all day long. he does a great job of explaining things in simple terms you can understand.

[@playipstreamsolutions5538]

Same here 🙌🏼

[@AnarchoReptiloidUa]

That's another one awesome channel with Neil explaining things. The video is really inspiring. Thank's for that outstanding educative job all of you do. 🌌🌌🌌

[@rin-eri]

Chuck has given Neil a great sense of humor

[@johnhoumis275]

I need a neil shirt that says "gravity daddy" I will pay good money

[@AK_14564]

I really like this new format but you should add a link to the original video so we can get more of we want.

[@FranckBattais]

There is a link 😅

[@ScienceManiacCZ]

Yeah there's a link in the expanded description

[@athanatic]

I like this more static "finished product" kind of produced explainers like these, but I wouldn't give up regular ST for anything!

[@cspahn3221]

thank you, neil, for the inspiration to reach in and always pursue my curiosity- lots of love from Oregon

[@brandonfields4022]

Thanks brother ya really taught me alot about the universe. Can’t stop watching you.

[@Stardust.Wonder]

I love the music you added

[@natures_child]

I'm not sure why this content couldn't just be shown on Star Talk. Seems strange to me, but I'm not complaining as I love Neil, Chuck and their contributors.

[@SheSweetLikSugarNSavage]

Beautifully done❤

[@AdrianaVRodriguez06]

Watching this and now I’m mind blown with new interesting info I wasn’t aware of.

[@BenjySparky]

Neil, you rock! Peace

[@entertainermaster2326]

Sir, you are one of my inspiring man

[@davesorrell9728]

That was excellent

[@TheQuietGamerN7]

Pluto deserves an appeal

[@shiraz1736]

Has JWST,s findings turned the big bang theory back into a hypothesis?

[@nabilh.6357]

Where's Chuck?

[@shepshape2585]

Hopefully gone forever. Scientists don't need comedic sidekicks, especially ones who are not funny at all, ever.

[@katethegrape7074]

He was gone for this episode, I'm not sure why but it was cool to see this conversation with Peter. I like Chuck, and I think he offers something unique to make this kind of information more digestible for most people. If you see this, Thanks Chuck don't let the haters in.

[@nabilh.6357]

@@katethegrape7074 Yes, i like Chuck too ❤️😘👍, he is funny and makes me laugh a lot.

[@bdr420i]

Russell Peters 😂 wow it's so funny to watch you asking questions it got as in to your which is very deep 😂 please keep doing that❤ thx StarTalk Dr Neil they're all amazing thank you ❤️ 😊

[@lemongavine]

It’s amazing how many people confuse theory with hypothesis. So many times I hear people say “it’s just a theory” when a theory means it’s a is scientifically proven fact

[@PhoenixProdLLC]

Is the universe bounded or unbounded?

[@adbrad123]

Great content as always! One respectful piece of feedback though: The background music on these has been distracting. Maybe just too loud compared to the words, or frankly unnecessary. Let the words speak for themselves and not distract from the comprehension please.

[@LarryFahey]

Why is the Earth rotating the wrong way (begins at 7:13)?

[@user-ch9gm3mj1j]

It's fall or spring year round

[@nsinghc2799]

Neil, what do you think about this Hypothesis? We live inside a massive blackhole. The universe and everything we see and know is inside a blackhole. The Big Bang we know, happened when part of the "actual" universe was sent into a Blackhole but this time carried some interesting material. And with that material, our universe was born (The big Bang). This blackhole we live inside is ever expanding and has no limits or end. The real universe is full of light and life and advance civilization and of course they stay away from this black hole for good reasons. As such, they have no knowledge of our existence as they have yet to travel into a blackhole as well.

[@garygjl9036]

Could that statement, "the earth is slowing down" relative to the sun explain why climate is changing, i.e. hotter?

[@fromnorway643]

No, because the global climate has been both warmer and colder in the past while the Earth's rotation has been slowing down. The physics of how the greenhouse effect works is now quite well understood, and there are no known natural forces that can explain the current warming.

[@Waterdust2000]

Can we just give Pluto an honorary status? If it has logical reasons "not" to be a planet I can accept that but even in other areas we use things like "classic" or something. Call it a new planetary model system and then label the old one accordingly. No?

[@AdrianaVRodriguez06]

I need to move to a mountain top for science purposes 😂😂😂

[@sadeghsadegh3761]

One part got me confused. please elaborate for anyone who’s reading this. “Moon is trying to slow earth down so that one day on earth equals one month for the moon” That being said means moon is somehow trying to swap places in the future? (So one earth day be = 1 lunar month instead of current opposition)

[@ZGoodGerman]

Mr. Tyson can say whatever he wants to make himself FEEL better: Pluto IS (and always will be) A PLANET!! (~,_,~)

[@Russia-bullies]

Feel free to disprove this hypothesis.Different parts of the universe had different origins.Some were due to the collision of different objects causing particles to fly apart at different speeds.This explains why the universe is shapeless & why some cosmic objects are moving apart & some are moving closer & why some are moving apart at accelerated speeds.The universe is too complex for simple explanations.

[@Coondogg]

This is what we need ndt talking about. Not biology.

[@fullmatthew]

He's right about biology, though.

[@jamesonpace726]

I wonder who this poor fellow is who clearly has never before seen an episode of Startalk....

[@deucedaprodeuca]

So Neil isn't acknowledging String Theory...

[@shepshape2585]

Please keep doing episodes without Chuck. It's so nice to listen to either Dr Tyson by himself, or Dr Tyson without a person trying desperately to be funny but failing, and instead another educated person discussing the mysteries of our solar system.

[@teamtaka7]

Come on chuck is keeping it fun for people who aren’t as stern as u are. We need to get regular people interested in science in ways they think is fun. Some people like comedians so this is a great way of that even if u and I don’t care for it.

[@katethegrape7074]

#TeamChuck

[@naturepeeps922]

Earth moon is not a rock. Tell the truth please. Thank you

[@SumOneTwo]

But does it identify as one Neil dont against your fames spectrum

[@chainsawkillers]

If a celestial body doesn't have a solid surface is it a planet? At this point I think I can make up my own rules just like the International Astronomical Union has.
