I heart space but sometimes it can be hard to comprehend. I try to fix that in this video with junk you can find lying around your house. Also, if you’ve wondered how there could be a ninth planet that we’ve never noticed till now I try to clear that up too by demonstrating just how impossibly far away it is.
Make your own scale model of the Solar System using this spreadsheet I made. If you put in the size of the object you’re using for a Sun it will scale everything else for you: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8504613/Solar%20System%20Scaler.xlsx

    thought I was subbed.. now I am. epic as usual. thanks!

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Patricia Zoerner says:

    Yet another fantastic science based video! Thanks, Mark!

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Boris P says:

    Very well done 👌🏼🫡 .. its actually pretty alarming how undeveloped judgement people have about so basic stuff, I mean you dont have to be full time astronome to guess distance of earth from sun more accurate, those peoples guesses were ridiculous 🤦🏻‍♂️ perspective and scale, all they have to do was put that ball up to the sky, asside to sun and keep walking till they match in sizes, you can do it with any object, just hold it and find distance till it looks as big as sun on sky, and you have apx. Correct distance from its scale of our earth

    If they can see a galaxy far, far away why can't they see a planet in the solar system?

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Stk the ups says:

    Real asteroid?

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert Joseph Moreau says:

    Finally, a great visual concept. Thank you, Mark!

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Josh Stewart says:

    So where does the gravity affects of the sun end?

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Josh Stewart says:

    I don’t understand how gravity can interact with objects at these distances.

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Josh Stewart says:

    It’s wild to think heat from the sun can warm the earth at that distance through the vacuum of space.

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Lord Volkner says:

    The rogue asteroid was my favorite part. I want to personally thank it for making an apperence.

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars KingJay 0101 says:

    That rouge asteroid was awesome

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars luca gonella says:

    i love you mark

    It's the grains of sand on Earth analogy that has always got me, and yet people still are in denial of other life out there – sheer bigotry.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hong Mao says:

    It is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo far that it is >300 football fields away!

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hong Mao says:

    I got a question mark on my head!!!

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hong Mao says:

    Planet Nine ? Where?????????????????????????

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hong Mao says:

    How far away is Planet Nine?
