      do you know what for us german is really confusing? the term billion.
      in germany and in continental europe we use the term billion for one thousand million (the number that americans calls trillion. trillion in usa, uk = billion in germany and europe.)
      i dont have problems of understanding, when you use billion with miles.
      but when you say 4,5 billion km, i have to guess, whether you are using the us, uk term or the continental europe term.
      really confusing :-))

    • @ConsciousApostle999
      @ConsciousApostle999 2 месяца назад

      Yeah, that's an understatement, that's like looking at the distance between our planet and saying they are miles apart...
      The average size of a galaxy is in the ballpark of 50-200 thousand light years, while larger galaxies range between 200k and 1 million+ light years, and the largest galaxy, while less defined in terms of measurement is said to be 16 million light years, and IC1101 in second at 7.6 million light years.
      To put those last two sizes into perspective, IC1101 and Alcyoneus would still be clearly visible placed next to the laniakea super cluster which spans 500 million ly and houses 100,000 other much smaller galaxies.
      There is estimated to be around 100 billion or more mid to upper sized galaxies around the universe, the other trillion aren't really on par with the milky way or anything like that.

    Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown
    And things seem hard or tough
    And people are stupid
    Obnoxious or daft
    And you feel that you've had
    Quite enough...
    Just remember that you're standing
    On a planet that's evolving
    And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour
    That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second
    So it's reckoned
    The sun that is the source of all our power
    The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
    Are moving at a million miles a day
    In an outer spiral arm, at four hundred thousand miles an hour
    In the galaxy we call the Milky Way
    Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars
    It's a hundred thousand light years side to side
    It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick
    But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide
    We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point
    We go 'round every two hundred million years
    And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
    In this amazing and expanding universe
    The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
    In all of the directions it can whizz
    As fast as it can go, thats the speed of light, you know
    Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is
    So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure
    How amazingly unlikely is your birth
    And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space
    'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.
    The Galaxy Song.

    The Milky Way is larger than 100,000 light years in diameter. New research over the last years have increased our galaxy to a size of between 170,000 and 200,000 light years across, slightly smaller than Andromeda's 220,000 light years (but likely 1,5 the mass of Andromeda, since Andromeda is much less dense than the Milky Way).

  • @legbreaker

    These average distances between stars in our galaxy are mind blowing. Andromeda is 2.5 million lightyears away and sitting there as our galaxy neighbour. There is life out there somewhere in our galaxy, but we can only detect the more advanced ones, the guys in their hunters and gatherers era cannot be detected. Not until someone is gonna land on live television, we are so alone in this galaxy.

      And when you consider the vast timescale and distances of the universe, even if an advanced civilization had existed say 2 million years ago and sent a message in our direction, it might just be getting to us now, while their civilization would have crumbled to dust millennia ago. When you look at the galaxy of Andromeda, you're probably staring in the general direction of thousands of sapient civilizations, none of which we will ever meet because of the distances involved.

    Question, at 4.3 billion km neptune the farthest planet is rotating the Sun.. It takes 4 hours for even the sun light to reach Neptune.. So how neptune is still held in the orbit? What prevents it from moving away? Is it the sun that makes it rotate around or is it the Neptune on its own rotating in this orbit without any hold from sun? If Sun is holding Neptune in its orbit, what force from the sun, keeps Neptune around?

    • @ScienceTime24
      @ScienceTime24  8 месяцев назад +6

      Neptune remains in orbit due to the gravitational force exerted by the Sun, which is strong enough to influence Neptune despite the vast distance. This gravitational pull is what keeps Neptune rotating around the Sun, preventing it from drifting away.

    From what I've read, there are numerous "Estimates" as to the "Size" of our Galaxy.
    From seem to think the diameter is from 90,000 up to about 160,000 light years!
    As to the number of Stars?
    I've found Estimates from 100 Billion, all the way up to over 1,000 Billion! (Or just over ONE TRILLION Stars!)
    Guess we'll never really know.

    If only more people would understand how miniscule we are in the scale of things in this massive universe, Im sure there would be a lot less hatred against each other and more working together to improve things. Unfortunately we have these religious a-holes ruining it all for the rest of us.

    So then, why do we go to war over nothing more than specs of dust? This proves that the existence of humanity is pointless and that we are no more relevant than a blob of slime. Therefore, it's up to us to find our own personal reasons for our existence and to pursue the things that we enjoy doing.

    We started radio broadcasts about 110 years ago, and they have travelled out at the speed of light, so far they have travelled just over 0.1% of the diameter of the galaxy. Or to put it another way , if the galaxy was one meter across the radio waves would have travelled just one millimetre in this time

    When you calculated those plane flying distances, did you take into account the fact that the plane has to fly in either an arc to reach Neptune where it will be when the plane finally arrives or some crazy straight line that meets Neptune at the shortest distance?

    • @MichaelWinter-ss6lx
      @MichaelWinter-ss6lx 7 месяцев назад +1

      These orbital curves are used because we don't have the propellant to realy fly a spaceship. We push them (uphill) for 10min and then they roll for several years.
      An airplane only works under constant propulsion. I therefor assume he used straight lines, from one place to another. Also, the constant speed was mentioned. A space probe constantly looses speed.
      The exception to this are ION drives. But they are still very weak.
