What Planets' Insides Look Like

How much do you know about the planets of our solar system? By combining information about a planet's seismic activity, density, magnetic field and so on, we can make assumptions about a planet's interior. Let's find out, what's inside them.

Scientists recently found out that Mars is a lot more seismically active than previously thought.

[@HASMETMEAP]

science scammers said do you really believe this?

[@alessioatta762]

Indeed i would like too know if the notions behind the video are contemplating even the latest updates from inSight probe

[@distantthunder12ck55]

Yes, there's a huge bulge/upwelling of magma, a chamber under the Tharsis region to this day.

[@melle1996meijer]

Yet it doesn't have a molten core cause if it had it would have a magnetic field what it clearly doesn't have

[@distantthunder12ck55]

@@melle1996meijer Again, you're wrong, the latest findings are that the core is indeed molten. Venus most definitely is volcanically active and has no magnetic field. This, should tell you how flawed your logic is.

[@lotus7589]

Mars is not geologically inactive. InSight (Who recently shut down forever) has shown us a lot of Mars and how it's still very much active in some capacity. The largest marsquake recorded by InSight clocked in at a 4.2. It's also much more porous than previously assumed, which might mean there's more radioactive elements present there than here on earth.

[@kateofone]

Also the reason it doesn’t have a magnetic field is because there was as much liquid separation between denser and lighter materials. They sort of just mixed together without much difference in the mantle or so I read.

[@hotfightinghistory9224]

Also, there have been some VERY tantalizing discoveries made at Gale Crater in the recent years. We wont be absolutely sure until a sample return mission in 2030, but some of the photos being sent back from Gale go WAY beyond fossilized microbes on a rock. I urge anyone reading this to do some googling :)

[@riproar11]

@lotus *there are more radioactive elements there is? C'mon man!

[@maflones]

This video is full of amateurish errors.

[@timothypage252]

The asymmetry of the lunar crust may indicate that the crust formed, still molten, while already tidally-locked to the Earth. It would act as a sort of centerfuge, pushing more mass toward the outer edge of the orbit. REALLY cool.

[@equious8413]

Hmm. The centrifuge answer is one I hadn't considered. I assumed that as the bodies became tidally locked the center of mass of the system, would be near the systems gravitational center. Is the orbit of the moon sufficient to generate this centrifugal force?

[@scottjustscott3730]

@@equious8413 I would tend to think there's not enough centrifugal force but much earlier in the history of the earth-moon system the moon's orbit was much closer and therefore much faster so I suppose it's possible.

[@erikm8372]

I’m honestly confused about the non-inclusion / randomness of these celestial bodies: 1. Venus? 2. Uranus? 3. Ee-oh is pronounced “eye-oh” I think… 4. Titan? I mean, if you’re looking at Europa and Io… 5. Enceladus? 6. Pluto? Might as well. I meant as far as digging into the core…

[@fb6039]

The name Io comes from Latin and means "I". It's actually pronounced like that in modern Italian so I think "eh-oh" is also correct.

[@bigbengamer]

Eye-oh is the american pronounciation. E-oh is the original form.

[@sarahs472]

Exactly! I wondered if I had missed Venus, it makes no sense not to include it, we even have PICTURES of Venus' surface from landers! Also, Jupiter was revisited multiple times, which was weird and confusing.

[@reneewells2835]

Fr like how did yall do two moons but no the other planets

[@frantisekvrana3902]

The thickness of Luna's crust does not depend on whether the Sun shines upon it. It depends on location. Specifically, the crust on the side near Earth appears to be thinner than the crust far from Earth.

[@equious8413]

This is surprising to me. Any theories as to why? You'd think gravity on the side facing may cause some kind of.. bulge. You'd think the centers of mass would be nearest the systems gravitational center 🤔

[@rustypliers74]

@@equious8413 there is a theory that we had two moons, and when they collided the near side is what remains of it

[@DavidStruveDesigns]

I think you're a little confused. It's called the "dark side" not because the Sun never shines on it, but because it always faces away from us on Earth. Hence humans on Earth have never seen it, hence "dark side". Also when rockets or satellites orbit over that side, they can't communicate via radio with Earth, hence their radio "goes dark". Still, it _is_ rather confusingly labelled.

[@frantisekvrana3902]

@@DavidStruveDesigns While calling the far side dark is still inaccurate, it is not what I am complaining about this time. What I am complaining about is that he called the near side sunny.

[@DavidStruveDesigns]

@@frantisekvrana3902 Yeah I re-watched it cos I didn't quite catch it the first time, and you're correct - he did. And yeah, that's incorrect as you pointed out. So my bad, I misheard him not you. Apologies :)

[@Tigtone_85]

The reason Mercury has such a large core might be because it once was a much larger planet according to some theories. Things were chaotic early on especially with Jupiter and with Mercurys funky orbit it seems likely something major happened to it after formation. Might have been a Earth like planet or even a super Earth at one point which we are finding to be pretty common out there. Maybe in the future we will have some super algorithm that can perfectly rewind the solar systems history and tell us what happened.

[@WikiNieWiki]

Isn't Sun burning Merkury's surface?

[@Kidgermodsout]

@@WikiNieWikiYes but if I remember correctly, while the sun liquidities some of the surface of Mercury, the side facing away is cold enough to consolidate the rock back on the surface, meaning no mass is ever loss.

[@Tigtone_85]

@@Kidgermodsout Yeah I do remember hearing something to that effect. I don't think Mercury is being burned off into space if that's what Wiki is saying never heard anyone make that claim.

A lot of it is still theoretical, we don’t actually know exactly what Jupiter’s core is made of. But there’s some theories that it is made of metallic hydrogen. I’m wondering how they’re so confident that half of these objects have iron cores.

There is no "dark side" of the moon. Every side of the moon gets sunlight. It's tidally locked to Earth, the same side always faces Earth, so there's a near side and a far side, but no dark side.

[@john_doe_not_found]

Europa has an icy crust and likely a volcanic sea floor somewhat similar to the surface of Io. Europa and other moons of Jupiter that orbit close enough will likely never cool down. They are stirred by the gravity of Jupiter and that keeps their mantle molten.

[@stankfaust814]

Always interesting to see Jupiter's composition get discussed. I wonder when we'll advance beyond the notion that the planet is 90% hydrogen (the lightest element in the universe) and 10% helium (the next lightest) and yet it self accreted these elements into a planet that is 2.5 times the mass of all the other planets combined. It's a lazy answer. In a gravity well, matter is stratified by its density which is why you have light atmospheric gasses on top (radially speaking) and dense metals at the bottom (core.) On earth, hydrogen readily escapes off into outer space. In fact all the 4 inner 'terrestrial' planets have weak atmospheres, slow rotations and low mass compared to the outer 4 'gas giants' They're gas giants because they have a very large core that is able to grab and hang onto and even compress gasses. Hydrogen does not escape from jupiter. Its well is very deep.

Just because we never see the dark side of the Moon doesn't mean it's always dark. Why is the crust so much thicker? Edit: I think I get it now. It's the gravity of Earth pulling the dense center of the Moon with more force then the lighter outer crust. May have settled this way while the moon was still molten

[@lancerevell5979]

There is no "dark side" of the Moon. The far side gets as much sunlight as the near side.

higher gravity won’t fundamentally impede flying, as athmosphere will indeed become denser, which in some sense will make it even easier to fly. we’ll just have to evolve not just physically, but also technologically and develop different sorts of planes that will rely on these changed conditions. also, birds will much more rely on floating and will have to grow much bigger and stronger, with huge wide wings which will allow them to float on in the air, like huge living kites, using ascending and descending currents.

[@marktwain2053]

The thickness of the moons crust is because of the way it formed, and there's no way of knowing how thick it is on either side, it's all just conjecture. The moons molten core would be very small, if it exists at all. A large meteor strike will cause the moon to ring like a bell, giving the impression that it is either a solid ball of iron ( actually an alloy), or that it is hollow (there's the belief by some that it's not even a natural object, but a very large ship...maybe like the Deathstar?). I guess anything is possible, no matter how unlikely!

[@LeifurHakonarson]

The Moon doesn't HAVE a dark side - it just a long day (28 Earth days). When we have no moonlight ("a new Moon") it's because the Sun is shining on its far side. If you got this basic fact wrong, what else did you get wrong? The Moon DOES have a "near side" and a "far side" - which is a totally different thing.

[@scottjustscott3730]
