I mainly wondered if you could stand on a sphere much larger than Earth, how far away you can see, the horizon would be flat. In any case the gravity would be much stronger. The Majipoor Chronicles featured Majipoor, a very large planet with breathable air but metal poor so it was roughly Earth’s mass so the gravity was the same. But Majipoor was mostly ocean with some small continents.

[@michaelcreek3813]

@@darylcheshire1618 While Neptune is 17x more massive than Earth, its also 3.8 times larger in diameter, so if you could stand on Neptune, you'd be farther from its center of mass. This means that the "surface" gravity on Neptune is only about 15% higher than Earth's.

[@danielr.]

Btw: The winds just reach the level of earths supersonic velocity, but are not supersonic on Neptune (which wouldn't make sense if you think about it). The winds on Neptune reach a peak velocity of 2.100 kmh/h. Earths supersonic velocity is 1.234,8 km/h while Neptunes supersonic velocity is about 8.928 km/h. So, yes: it reaches earth supersonic velocity, but not Neptunes. If someone wants their units in bananas: 3.141. :D

[@PoisonNuke]

@Daniel R.: wind can of course go faster than the speed of sound in that particular medium. How should a super-sonic wind tunnel work otherwise? Speed of sound is only relative to the medium, and if the medium moves, the speed of sounds changes with it accordingly (which means, during super fast storms, there is a noticably difference between sound events from different directions)

[@crcpeart]

Yes not a fan of how they used ‘supersonic’ so loosely. They could easily have said ‘wind speeds that would be supersonic if they occurred here in our atmosphere on earth’. It’s misleading for the sake of sounding cool

[@dougaltolan3017]

@@PoisonNuke Well it doesn't even have to be quite like that. "Wind" is just bulk movement of air, and if you are floating along with that air then you won't even notice how fast it is moving. Even if it is moving faster than the speed of sound in the medium, relative to the ground. There'll be some hectic interactions at boundary layers with other air masses (if their relative speed is high), but in the bulk nothing special need happen.

Facts: Neptune is warmer than Uranus.

[@DeletedProgramming]

Wonderful storytelling!

[@richardmcgowan1651]

The narration on these KZbin clips from the show is better than the actual BBC show.

[@acjflyer]

Does anyone know where to find the dramatic music near the end of this video? From around 3:40 to the end.

[@davisjugroop3782]

Does a sonic boom depends on the density of the atmosphere?

[@justicedemocrat9357]

Sure.

[@PigRipperLAW]

This is incredibly beautiful and I hope we continue to launch craft that can make more discoveries.

fuck BLM!

Your name and BLM dont mix.

I'm so disappointed that these giant planets are gas giants instead of rock planet like ours. When I was a kid, I had hoped to migrate to my favorite planet Saturn. Life is so unfair.

[@zaxele]

you can still migrate to their moons, Europa or Titan for example, they have rigid surfaces

[@thespaceram2879]

The wind speed in saturn is 1000 mph.

[@danielhicks1824]

Bouyant colonies are a possibility. You need a way to deal with the deadly em emissions and winds though

[@Akshitguleria7]

No matter how much i mature, this shit will always make me gag 0:19 😂 And it was so uncalled for too

[@Themsthedems]

So diamonds melt at -214 degrees celsius? Someone make that make sense.

[@honeymoon1263]

I thought Neptune would be warmer than Uranus because half of Uranus is always in a constant state of night.

[@geckoo7770]

Half of every planet isn't exposed by Sun light...

[@honeymoon1263]

@@geckoo7770 Yeh that’s true but I would assume that Uranus’s North Pole would be extra cold considering it never sees the sun

[@geckoo7770]

@@honeymoon1263 Yeah but it must be like Venus's dense atmosphere where it's almost constantly the same temperature everywhere.

[@Paethgoat]

Real question: How do those wind speeds affect doppler of sound?

[@pierreproudhon9008]

I failed fisics

[@hermask815]

@@pierreproudhon9008 and also orthography? ;-)

[@geckoo7770]

It doesn't....? The doppler effect is when something moves towards you, sound is compressed and when it moves away sound is stretched, so if you're moving along with the wind there isn't a Dopler effect, but otherwise if you're slower, well the sound of the wind moving towards you is compressed and becomes streched after it passes by.

[@Paethgoat]

@@geckoo7770 Thank you. I didn't phrase my question well. If the clouds move near supersonic speeds, how would that affect the sound of something relative to a stationary or slower observer?

[@geckoo7770]

@@Paethgoat Oh you mean if you're trying to hear something stable trough a storm like that? well I guess it would be very hard just like trying to listen to something in a storm, apparently I saw in a lot of comment that supersonic speed on neptune is higher than the speed of it's clouds but it would still be very hard to properly hear something with the noise those clouds would make

[@GREWALGOfficial]

If all of this is really there then you scientist are phenomenal...One thought everytime comes in my mind after watching these kind of videos is how did you guys control a space craft at certain heights......

[@geckoo7770]

Orbital mechanics: with all the theories put into work you can program a spacecraft to go to certains orbits to have the data. Now of course it didn't went into Neptune's atmosphere but by simply looking at the surface change you can see the evolution of winds just like for Earth's weather.

[@ProducerX21]

In all my years I’ve know about the planets, I’ve never really realized how crazy it is we even count them as planets. They are just a sphere of condensed gas. If it had more gas it would be a star. Should we even categorize these as planets?

[@mattd6085]

Yes?

[@Lelouch12195]

lowkey would love to visit there

[@indianarchangel]

1500 MPH!!! Great place to fly kites.

[@cookarain6205]

You mean to fly with the kites?

[@indianarchangel]

No, I meant Kites. Not the bird, the rhombus thing that Chinese and Indians fly with a string.

1:10 ... What is that floating/flying by on screen (above Neptune)?

[@hexagonalhd5797]

One if it’s moons. Most likely Triton.

[@leociresi4292]

Neptune ‘s known moons Triton, Nerid, Ariel, Oberon, Miranda, Puck

[@jbette]

@@leociresi4292 : Thanks for "Googling" that for me ...- but I was wondering if - whom/wherever BBC Earth Lab got this clip from - had listed whatever object that was ... Somewhat similar to how NASA (and no doubt other agencies do as well) - keeps track of individual piece-of-debris/object floating around Earth ... _(Yes - every single one - in the mass of the hundreds/thousands of floating debris/objects - are tracked/accounted for)_ ...- I was hoping they would know exactly what object that was _(floating across - that area of Neptune - at that precise moment in time)_ ... Could it have been another type of object ...- maybe another (other-country's) probe? Anyhoo - thanks for finding the names of the Neptune moons.

Zachary Quinton! You stud muffin, Star Trekian, smooth talkin, Vulcan. So glad you're doing my favorite planet as I'm studying to be an astrophysicist. Cus love Star Trek so damn much.

[@alphonsev1926]

Give props to the camera man, he recorded all of this for us 👍🏻

Raining diamonds is crazy

Absolutely stunning planet to look at expected for a gas giant beauty. Will always be my favorite planet ✨🔵✨
