Don’t let Jupiter hear that! Otherwise it could travel at super speeds just to talk to your teacher and it might get too close.

Inaccurate statement: The video claims that Jupiter is 11 times larger than Earth. In fact, it is 1300 times as large as Earth! While 11 times is correct in terms of diameter, its volume -- how much space it takes up -- is 1300 times as large as Earth's volume. "Volume" is usually what I think of when I think of the concept of "size."

[@paulolson]

If Jupiter left its orbit, I suspect every other planet's orbit would be distorted by that immense shift of gravity. Those nice concentric (slightly elliptical) orbits would go wild. That's a factor not addressed in the video. Otherwise, it was cool.

[@Artifacter]

My only criticism is that if Jupiter's orbital speed went up it would move away from the sun, the only way jupter would fall inwards towards the sun, its orbital speed would have to drop to almost nothing, and realistically speaking if a star were to pass too closely to our solar system it could cause Jupiter to start falling towards the sun.

[@mookithehamster5639]

Exactly, I have played kerbal space program enough to know that the video was wrong about that detail.

[@SerBallister]

Wouldn't any drop in orbital speed, even a small one, cause it to fall into a smaller orbit?

[@Artifacter]

@@SerBallister correct, but for it to fall into the sun from its orbit, its orbital speed would have to be 0

[@SerBallister]

@@Artifacter Not sure about 0 speed as requirement, maybe just slow enough so its orbit would decay, similar to how space craft need to slow down to re-enter earth atmosphere, they are still moving sideways, just a lot a slower.

[@northside7772]

Due to the curvature of space around Jupiter due to its mass, wouldn't the chances be greater for Earth to be trapped into Jupiter's gradational field and orbit, becoming a moon of Jupiter? Or be flung out into deep space?

[@ravensong9030]

All the possibilities you mention could actually happen, the outcome would depend on what are, so to say, the "starting" velocities of each planet relative to each other. The situation described in the video simply is "what if Jupiter suddenly changed its velocity IN SUCH A WAY that it would eventually collide with Earth". The content creators picked this scenario because... well, it's more chaotic and fun.

Last video he said asteroid belt is dense and you’d need to navigate through it. Now the asteroid belt is so massive it may be possible for Jupiter to pass through it untouched. Which is it

[@edwardmiller4562]

Both can be true.

[@mattpetty1]

The odds untouched are so slim. It is not going to punch through at a 90 degree vector to the orbiting Asteroids keeping exposure time to a minimum but would mingle among them in the same orbit as it slowly spiraled in . Overtaking them from behind.

Jupiter wouldn't simply pass through the asteroid belt. It would capture many of them in the process, just as the likeliest outcome of Jupiter passing close to Earth would be capture into its planetary system, turning Earth into a moon in Jupiter's orbit.

[@Mondayleftmebroken...]

NGL I saw this things in my dream...it was one of the most nerve wrecking and horror experience of my life...slowly Jupiter was closing the earth it was not only a gas giant but a fire giant which was ready to explode..I never felt so relieved after waking up

[@slendermansrevenant1875]

I thought we'd be pulled outside of earth along with most of the things on earth's surface by Jupiter's massively stronger gravity and earth itself would crumble into pieces and float around Jupiter instead of having an actual impact, forming a ring or a belt of smaller partciles way before Jupiter "collides" with us. Kind of like what would happen to the moon if it were to hit us

I never believed that Jupiter had no surface. Still don't. Well, it's when the L. Shoemaker Comet hit Jupiter, and it left burn marks. It hit something that caused those dark burn marks and l think it was it's surface. Jupiter's cloudy existence means there is a surface, because the clouds of Jupiter hug the surface closely and that gives it that tight squeeze between Jupiter's surface and its atmosphere. Like a heat wave on the road or desert terrain.

I always have a funny memory when I see Jupiter. When I was in Kindergarten I drew Saturn and its rings. My teacher asked me "Do you know what that is?" I reponded "Yes, it's Saturn" and drew the rest of the solar system and named all the planets. The next week we went to our usual library visit, I was sitting with my friends reading that green eggs and ham book when my teacher seperates me and takes me to the non fiction area. She points me at these books on the solar system and star systems and say's "pick anything you like and take it home" As a 5 year old reading about how the planets were named after ancient gods and how powerful Jupiter was scared me, reading about how the sun would one day turn into a red giant and engulf the inner planets scared the hell out of me. I was thinking it could very well happen in my life time, or even tomorrow as I had little concept of time or that a stars lifetime is relative to it's mass. Looking back, I really wish I had clued in on my teacher trying to steer me in a direction and maybe persue subjects and a career in physics

True, btw Jupiter's location being our shield from asteroids is one of the many evidences for the existence of God! Check out Hugh Ross (astrophysicist) who goes into the many other evidences, mainly scientific ones :)
