Good point. But is the moon a dwarf planet? Or does the Earth/Moon binary system only qualify as one?

[@wujekcientariposta]

@@angrytedtalks One of the requirements was also that it has to be in a primary orbit around the sun. So no the moon is not a planet. And earths orbit around the moon is inside earths surface, so I don't know about that. It's like saying that the earth and the sun is a binary system, cause the sun jiggles a tiny bit when earth orbits it. QI is not really factual. Often someone reads something and runs with it till they can't see anything back.

[@angrytedtalks]

@@wujekcientariposta The definition of a binary system is that its combined centre of mass lies between them. That is not true for the Earth and moon; the moon is just 1.2% of Earth's mass but 250,000km away, so the combined centre of mass is still below the Earth's crust. However, a highly accredited theory is that the Earth and moon were formed by a collision between two earlier planets, where much of the composition of one was absorbed by the other. Another theory is that the Earth had a cloud or ring around it which formed the moon in the very early stages of the solar system. Either way, the moon and Earth are composed of the same things, quite unlike any other planets in the solar system or their moons.

"The Earth orbits the moon as well" Id argue no. The Barycenter (the point both objects orbit) is inside the Earth. Which is basically the point both objects pivet around.

Just a couple of questions - and I'm genuinely curious, not trying to be difficult - is the barycenter the only criterion on which orbits are determined?

Discussing planets, the moon was mentioned, if at 10:40 Stephen is right then at 00:20 Alan was right. As this episode was hosted by Sandi it was recorded after the Stephen one, I wonder then, which host got it right?

[@eolsunder]

the host that said earth had 1 moon, because the episode with Stephen talking about other "moons" was incorrect because to be a moon of earth, the moon has to orbit around the earth, but his other "moons" didn't revolved around the earth, but around the sun, they just happened to go around the earth sometimes in their solar orbit. So as anyone who watches the show regularly, they get info totally incorrect all the time in order to try and make the show fun and unpredictable. But its incorrect unpredictable.

[@katesendegeya864]

@@eolsunder Perhaps not totally "incorrect" -- it's just that different information becomes available, and they use that to "contradict" previous answers. Sometimes that contradiction is not so much a contradiction as a tangential view. They've done episodes where they've said there's only one moon, and then this one that says there's none, and at least one other where they say there are hundreds. They use different definitions of what a "moon" is. It's what makes this show so unutterably compelling. That, and the risque jokes:-)

[@Asguard82]

Also it would invalidate the closest planet to earth being mercury

[@almostfm]

No, because the common astronomical definition of a binary planet is that the center of rotation of the two bodies (called the barycenter) has to lie in the space between them, and the Earth/Moon barycenter is about 1000 miles beneath the Earth's surface. The only binary planet in our Solar System is Pluto/Charon. The barycenter also means it's not a planet, because the official IAU definition of a planet requires it to orbit the Sun, not another planet. And while there are asteroids that orbit the Sun in the same period as the Earth, they don't have a barycenter with the Earth, so those are not moons either. The elves royally screwed up this question, and it still bugs the crap out of me that they offered several "right" answers, none of which were actually right other than the answer "one" for "How many moons does the Earth have?"
