When it comes to planets in our Solar System's habitable zone, one world is too close to the Sun, another is too far and Earth is just right. But maybe things would be different if Venus and Mars simply swapped orbits. What makes these planets uninhabitable right now? What changes would they undergo when they trade places? And why would you need Jupiter to give these planets a chance at supporting life?

[@RhapsodyHC]

Yes and the magnetic field of the planet that shields against the solar wind, and also a day and night cycle that balances out the temperature evenly.

[@Seriously_Unserious]

Not to mention its magnetosphere. Also it's rotation will have a huge impact. Venus, in its current orbit, is tidally locked to the sun, or nearly so, with a reversed rotation from the rest of the planets. Basically on Venus, the sun raises in the west and sets in the east, and a Venusian day and a Venusian year are about the same length of time. However, if you follow Anton Petrov's channel, he has talked about how Venus may have had liquid water on its surface as little as 10 or 20 million years ago, or something like that. Then some event triggered the runaway greenhouse conditions we see today. Probably geologic in nature, such as a massive flood basalt eruption that released too much volcanic gasses into the atmosphere or something.

The distance of the habitable zone varies depending on how bright or large the star is. The smaller the star, the closer the habitable zone is to it but the bigger the star the farther the habitable zone is from it.

[@sivaprakash9285]

But being closer to the star, makes it Tidally locked.. Thereby minimizing chances of survival

[@anonymousnearseattle2788]

The better question to ask is... What if Mars and Venus had always been in reversed orbits? Mars never had enough mass to hold onto an atmosphere, but Venus might have had some interesting possibilities.

[@frankfowlkes7872]

This is the question. The reason Venus turned into the planet it is today has a lot to do with it being where it is closer to the Sun. In fact as the Sun heats up as it expands the Earth will find itself in a similar situation to Venus in 500 million or so years. If Venus had started off in the orbit of Mars it likely would not have developed it's current oppressive atmosphere. Mars on the other hand would, as pointed out in this video, still be out of luck still do to its weak gravity and inability to hold on to the necessary thicker atmosphere.

[@voss0749]

@@frankfowlkes7872 Venus which had always been at mars orbit might very well be almost habitable with say pressure domes. It changes the economics of space travel greatly especially if the atmosphere has a lot of co2

[@davidsumner7604]

The biggest problem with Mars is that it's too small with too weak gravity to hold an atmosphere that's breathable. It turns out that the single most precious resource for colonization is gravity.

[@matthewviramontes3131]

Yes and no. While you're right, a planet has to be large enough to have enough gravity to hold down air, the distance from the Sun matters too. For example, if you put Earth into Mars' orbit, it'd still be a perpetual winter with ice caps covering half the planet, and thus no life could exist.

[@molotovick]

@@matthewviramontes3131 our climate would definitely change but I wouldn't say our planet would be uninhabitable if it switched places

[@matthewviramontes3131]

@@molotovick I've had this conversation with someone else, and let me say that at the very least it's tricky. First of all, the hottest temperature ever recorded on Mars was 95°F, and that's at the equator during the summer. The only reason that it even gets that hot is because of Mars' axial tilt, which is about 25°. This allows for seasons, which obviously includes a summer. The problem is that Earth is less tilted than Mars, being at 23.5°, so it would experience less extreme seasons, which means not as cold in the winter, but more importantly, not as warm in the summer. The next problem is that unlike Mars, Earth has a dense atmosphere that blocks out a lot of sunlight, which allows us not to heat up nearly as much. For example, although Earth and the Moon are relatively the same distance from the Sun, the max temperature on Earth is 135°F, whereas on the Moon, it's upwards of 250°F (because it doesn't have an atmosphere). So temperatures on Earth (in Mars' orbit) would be significantly cooler than Mars in Mars orbit. The last problem is distance from the Sun. Mars is much further out, and has a much more eccentric orbit. So think about what the temperatures are here on Earth in any given place, but now push us out another 30 million miles from the Sun at Mars closest approach, or another 60 million miles out at it's most distant. All of those things combined would make Earth much, much colder in Mars' orbit. That being said, could some spots on Earth get warm enough to harbor liquid water at some point in the year? Perhaps. But the bigger question is that when Earth would be at its max distance from the sun at some 150 million miles out, would it render it so cold that the planet couldn't thaw out enough to support life in its warmest days? That I don't know.

[@molotovick]

@@matthewviramontes3131 yeah It'd be really interesting because couldn't our atmosphere freeze technically? I also believe in all honesty what's happening now with us pumping loads of c02 in the atmosphere making temperatures very hot, I wonder if we could do that enough to maybe heat up the atmosphere as we wouldn't immediately freeze right? it'd probably be a process of a couple hundred days for us to freeze.

[@epicnicity916]

Imagine if Venus actually had life today. Would we be communicating with them and some day developing a ship that allows to travel between the planets, like we do with planes right now?

[@abloogywoogywoo]

IF it could support life, there is the radiation of both worlds Van Allen belts to consider, and outer space between that would make travelling between planets on a commercial basis ridiculously expensive and very risky to ever be viable. Communication wise, it wouldn't be much different than the Internet we're used to. But with 2 minutes of lag, don't expect to have any fun online games with Venusians anytime soon.

[@neilpeartspurplenose8739]

We'd be at war with them to take their resources. We would probably end up blowing each other away.

[@citizenstranger]

why would venus call theirs van allen? theyd have their own name for it.

@@citizenstranger Planet doesn't have one. If they did - welcome to science fiction. There is no wrong name in your fictional universe. :)

@@abloogywoogywoo Dude, YOU are the one that introduced "Van Allen" belts existing on planets, then you're berating someone for using the very term YOU introduced as "wrong"? Are you well? Do you need to be tested for Dementia or something? As for com-lag, that would vary between 2 minutes and much longer as the planets are orbiting at different speeds and distances from the Sun, and the distance will change based on their relative positions in their respective orbital cycles. As for commercial viability, you're committing the fallacy of assuming CURRENT technology is the ALL THERE EVER WILL BE. Also the fallacy that under the circumstances of civilized live existing on a neighboring planet that both planet's civilizations wouldn't be motivated to solve the problem of commercially viable transport and travel between Earth and Venus, and that interplanetary travel wouldn't be FAR more advanced then it is in our reality. Necessity is the mother of invention. If we don't NEED something, we won't invent it.

That will happen if the two planets swap place now. But if they were swap from the start, Venus today will be an abitable planet, because its global warming never happened. Mars, instead, will still be an inabitable planet, but a colonization will be far more easier

[@scientchahming5]

If Mars was Venus sized, it would likely have retained its magnetic field. Without a significant magnetic field, the solar wind was able to strip Mars of its atmosphere.

[@WhatIfScienceShow]

Interesting thought.

It's global warming was because it never formed Plate Tectonics. Nothing would have really changed with Venus.

[@fabriziobiancucci7702]

@@TwinnedBanana No. It's not the tectonic plates the problem. The problem is that Venus is closer to the Sun and it rotate too slow. If it was at the same distance of Mars when it forms, the global warming would be very slower and Venus today will be a simil-Earth planet.

I think between Venus and Mars, Venus would be easier to terraform if it was in Mars' orbit. But Venus does have another problem that makes it less desirable than Mars. Venus has a very long day/night cycle. At least Mars' day night cycle is only 30 minutes longer.

[@Seriously_Unserious]

Venus would need us to find it a moon, as part of the terraforming process. A large enough moon would help stabilize Venus' rotation to be more normal. Venus would probably also need many asteroid bombardments to put energy into it rotating faster as well. However, the good news is apparently the upper atmosphere is more Earth like then we once thought and some sort of floating stations could possibly be sustained up there. Anton Petrov did a series of videos on this and he found, that Venus, even in its current orbit, is far more terraformable then Mars will ever be.

[@ArkhamKnight106]

Venus terraforming is way harder than mars cuz we have to remove the toxic cloud and it needs a moon ofc as you say and need a ocean and it needs to be like 70 grad

[@JoseMolina-ij3xx]

@@ArkhamKnight106 Actually it is 70 degrees in the cloudtops of Venus. But keep in mind, Mars only has two small asteroids for a moon. The Toxic atmosphere also provides protection from solar radiation, so it's a double edged sword with that one, if we can find something that can withstand sulfuric acid. But like I said, you can't use solar power on the surface of a planet that has a day night cycle of 117 earth days, so finding power for the colonies would be a serious issue.

[@5Flavorsz]

Jupiter and Pluto ya that in so crazy

[@magnusmaul5447]

The main obstacle to get around on Mars is to restart its convection cycle. Venus needs a large Moon to speed up its rotation and not be tidally-locked; this can sometimes help distribute weather more evenly around a planet. Also, it would spin it fast enough for its molten core to generate a magnetic field, allowing it to hold onto a more diverse range of lighter elements necessary for water and life. Mars could with this too actually.

It could be barely habitable. It would be massive enough to sustain a lighter atmosphere, similar to actual Mars. Shallow seas may exists, and microbial life could survive. On a nutshell, more oceans rides on Earth, and a place to form extraterrestial life.

That's comes down to a question I have which right now we don't have technology to do but what if you mined Venus for carbon dioxide and moved it to Mars. Making it so Venus has a lot less excess carbon dioxide. And Mars has enough cumber dioxide to begin greenhouse effect and raising the temperature of Mars to sustainable level.

[@imsyed5]

Instead of swapping put both of them in Earth's orbit but on opposite sides so they don't collide When there would be January on Venue it'll May on Earth and September on Mars

[@КГБКолДжорджКостанца]

What if we really went through a black hole

[@stansivelxkimberly6593]

Can you do what if The Largest Exoplanet orbited UY Scuti?

[@Rxmexalxne]

So what if Venus was in Pluto’s spot in terms of changes?

[@MsMRkv]

The venusian atmosphere would slowly freeze and after a long time of cooling down, you'd get a frozen rock with a thin oxygen atmosphere, not much different than Pluto. Pluto on the other hand would just melt away and its atmosphere would be blown away by the sun, from Earth it would look like a long comet. At the end, only the silicate core would remain of what was Pluto.

[@kokichiouma1280]

Make a video about what if everyone have perfect memory

[@yeezuscrust9630]

hey 👋 can you do “ what if all of earth was land “ now that would be kinda interesting 🧐

[@andrestrd]

Bro that's easy af. We all die

[@thelegend11874]

There wont be any natural water so we die

[@syedasad9560]

Bruh you User name 🤣

[@sierrachief117]

That's technically what earth is. Below all that water, there is land on which the water resides

[@TheALseven7]

that would be great

[@aronkay8615]

I like. Ur speech ❤

[@matthewfredericks25]

What if Mars tripled in size

[@resetplayz53]

Wonder what would’ve happened had they had been in those orbits from the start?

[@jaidamwhi4589]

I think had Venus had more material it would've been what we call a hot Jupiter but idk how that'll affect our current situation

[@Wisdomdragon42069]

It would be cool they can direct huge comments to Venus

[@thesoldifamily6630]

OMG your the best What if there were infinite people on earth

[@Canadianobjectshow]

Do a video of What if Pluto and Venus swapped orbits

[@jaxonvega001]

Hmm ?? I wonder what will happen if Jupiter and Saturn swapped positions? 🤔

[@Carltonway1]

What If I hit the Earth with a giant pool stick right into Mars?

[@jamesdixon6332]

Wish these videos when measuring distance would use both kilometers and miles.

[@daftwulli6145]

why ? There is ONE country that uses miles.

[@davidbrewer9030]

Harry Turtledove wrote a what if story called A World of Difference in which a Venus sized world developed at the Martian orbit.

[@gneu1527]

Planet: farts and sneezes at the same time Habitable zone: *gives every living species an eviction notice*

[@-xXsupremacyXx-]

I always wondered what would it be like for Venus to orbit the sun in Earth's line only next to it million miles apart or would that be thousands miles apart?

[@adwaaazeez5273]

Please can you make: 1.What if all planets are earth 2.What if all moons are earth’s moon 3.What if all stars are the sun 4.What if all systems are the solar system 5.What if all galaxies are the Milky Way

[@brandonbrownlee643]

I have a crazy idea chould you make what if mars and earth swapped orbits

[@dorderre]

As a non-english-native person I really struggle to understand descriptions like "a hundred times less dense". Wouldn't that be basically one per cent as dense or one hundreth of the density? Or "ten times stronger" - would that mean something is ten times as strong as the original or eleven times as strong, since ten times the original amount is added to the original? English is really confusing to me sometimes.

[@jasminemclean4447]

The way that I like to think of it, a hundred times less dense is the opposite of a hundred times more. So if it’s a hundred times more and it’s sitting at 100 for example, it would now be sitting at 10,000. If it’s a hundred times less dense at 100, it’s 1. Kind of multiplication vs division.

[@UMD737]

That's so cool that's so cool I like it your videos papa said you were same Southern Cross together put that video

[@rudranshnegi5029]

Please also make a video on how we can swap Venus and mars

[@Toaster_YT]

Solar powerd thrusters

[@vaibhavvishnoi607]

I think you have not mentioned about tha gravitational effect of this scenario.

[@roni1451]

Venus' pressure is still far less than Earth's though. Cause on the bottom of the ocean it has far more pressure.

[@ooftimestop4119]

Literally this video: YEET VENUS AND MARS INTO EACHOTHER'S ORBITS

[@scientchahming5]

Maybe if Mars grew to the size of Venus, it would have remained somewhat habitable because it would have retained its magnetic field, unless something slowed down the planet's rotation like Venus. If that was the case, Mars would still be colder than Earth on average, but the Martian atmosphere would have immured enough heat to have liveable temperatures, albeit probably more like the taiga than tropical eutopia.

[@CIVILDEFENSEBUNKER]

So maybe crash all the asteroids in the belt into it and Phobos and Deimos along then tow Ceres as Mars new moon?

[@josejaviergd9993]

i would be more curious about swapping Venus & Titan
