Seeing his evolution from juist comic relief to actually asking and even answering things correctly and being so insightful with his observations just reflects that anyone with an open mind and willingness to learn can become so much more than what we were.
Every StarTalk video is awesome, but guys…. You blew this video outta the water! Amazing description and understanding for all! And terrific story time!

Absolutely LOVE Neil's videos. And this tandem is a 2 in 1, funny and educational. Never get tired of them!! Please never stop posting!! Just wanted to make an observation regarding the graphics, a few times the rotation and translation of the earth is depicted inverted 😊 Just thought it was worrh to mention so that people don't get confused ❤ Love you guys!
Great talk on the seasons! I grew up near the southern shore of Lake Ontario in western New York. The effect the lake's surface temperature has on surface temperatures on land (if you're close enough to the lake) is quite substantial in the spring and very early summer. And the opposite occurs in the fall and early winter. 🙂
The Chemistry between you two is like you took your normal hang sessions and turned it into a show. Keep up the great work and keep fighting for Pluto Chuck!
When one talks about the planetary tilts, how is horizontal and vertical determined in space? What is the reference point or what are they measuring it against to determine horizontal and vertical? Not sure if I am asking this question correctly but perhaps someone will understand what I am getting at lol.
So, when we describe the tilt of a planet, it's with respect to that planets orbit around the sun. So, take the Earth. Assuming that its orbit is 0 degrees, Earth tilts 23.5 degrees off its orbital plane. For describing a tilted orbit, it's with respect to the sun itself. Assuming that the sun's tilt is at 0 degrees, any planets orbit is measured from that. That being said, there is no universal reference point. Everything has to be measured with respect to something else, in this case, the sun is that reference point. Hope this helps you to understand!
@@mriandecker6533 A tilted orbit such as Pluto's is usually specified in relation to either the Earth's ecliptic (orbital plane) or the invariable plane which is the average orbital plane of the entire solar system. The Sun's equator does not match either of those. Neil said Pluto's orbit is tilted 17 degrees, that is relative to the ecliptic. Look up 'invariable plane' in wikipedia if you want more information including the sun's tilt in relation to both the ecliptic and invariable plane.
Good format, good banter, good pace. Already knew the topic, still enjoyed. NEXT topic: what happens when light/radiated energy "hits" the edge of the universe and/or otherwise slows down? Wouldn't e=mc^2 say it turns into matter? Albeit so widely dispersed so it might appear dark? 😮 And before you answer that energy doesn't slow down.... Are you sure? How would you prove that?
Kudos for the animated graphic of the earth displaying the correct direction of the tilt! I see so many images, memes and analogies all over the Internet that get that wrong!
I would love a video on what Tyson thinks about the orbit of the planets and the orbit of electrons on an atom being displayed so similar. Thanks Sirs! Love this channel.
This was a fantastic episode. Even though I knew some of these things, it's still fun to check your knowledge on. Keep fighting that fight for Pluto Chuck!! haha
hello sir may i offer a suggestion to have terrence on the podcast? i realize the specific facets of his theories are likely off track, but what he is doing thats so valuable is exemplifying to the world how to take all these pieces of science and think differently with them. we have say a million physicists in the world and all we get from them is incremental "progress". now imagine we had a million people thinking like terrence.. one of them will think in a way that leads humanity to the next fundamental breakthrough. if einstein stuck to following the science in his 1905 textbooks he never would have thought of revolutionary concepts he did. in any event all respect and honor to you for everything you are doing for humanity, thank you.
The final phrase raps up everything about cosmic dance. 💯 Come to Africa especially Ghana and enlighten myself and people more on physics and cosmology. Bless you 🙏 🇬🇭
I'm so glad this video exists. I could never have properly explained this to my Indonesian girlfriend in a way she could understand without it. So few high school graduates even know this stuff. I used to think dropping out after middle school was my biggest mistake in life, but I'm seriously beginning to reconsider that position... 😅
The changing seasons result from the Earth's axial tilt, which causes varying angles of sunlight throughout the year. This tilt, combined with the Earth’s orbit around the Sun, creates the seasonal variations in temperature and daylight that we experience. How does the axial tilt of the Earth relative to its orbital plane influence the distribution of solar energy across different latitudes, and what implications does this have for climate patterns and seasonal changes?
It's interesting that the heat of summer is not caused by how close we are to the sun, even by an increase of several million miles, but by the angle of the rays and how consistently we get then. Sun overhead day after day warms us up. Sun at an angle low in the sky day after day cools it down by a lot. The angle of the rays is more significant than the distance. Weird .
I'd love an explainer on why May is the hottest month of the year rathar than July in the southern part of India(between equator and tropic of cancer). Is monsoon the answer?
@@alani3992 Wait about 12,500 years and it will not be pointing at the Polaris, instead Vega will be the target. Guess we'll have to transfer the nickname.
You all should do a show on how small the factors in the "Goldilocks" zone are compared to what is out there. For instance temperature, radiation, availability of non salty water, and such.
On the west coast here our hottest part of the day is usually 5pm. I'm guessing this is because of the higher heat capacity of the ocean compared to land so it takes longer to heat up compared to land so the closer you are to the water the longer it takes to warm up in the day. I would love to hear Neil's explanation of this though but its definitely noticable cause i used to live in the prairies and the hottest part of the day was 1 - 2pm but on the coast its way later.
It's not a time delay thing. It's the fact that the sun doesn't just stop heating at midday/mid-season, it keeps heating as the day/season continues, albeit at a reducing rate. It's accumulation not delay.
Matt from illinois here, I've always wanted to ask lord Nice how you too became such good friends. But my question is on one of your videos you were telling a story about drafting behind a semi giving you better milage, but what would the effect be on the semis mileage is what I'm curious about. Because your increasing the semis drag are you not. Thanks and sorry for the outta place post. Keep looking up.
May I suggest not to explain it as a time delay but as rate of change in the temperature. During the solstice, the longest day, the rate of change of the temperature is the fastest but since later the days are still longer than the night, the temperature continues rising, slower but still rising, hitting the peak in the middle of the summer, and then the same thing happens in the other direction in the winter and a similar cycle every day.
Solar noon depends time zone, latitude, longitude, and day of year. While in New York City, solar noon is around 13:00, in Marquette, Michigan, it can be as late as 13:56.
At a lower angle, the light must also travel through more atmosphere. This attenuates it (by absorption and scattering) further reducing insolation at the surface.
At 9:44 Neil asked what part of the Earth get more direct rays. Could someone please explain me what he meant by "more direct" and why it was middle ? I mean sunlight is reaching all that part so where is it "more direct" and where is it "less direct". What does that really mean and how do you determine that ? Please if someone can explain it to me ?
By 'more direct', he is referring to the angle at which the sun's rays are hitting the earth's surface. During the winter months, the sun is much lower above the horizon than it is in summer, therefore the amount of energy the sun gives to the earth when its angle is so acute is much less than when the sun's rays hit the earth's surface at less of an angle and is more perpendicular (upright).
One factor Neil could have added is that when one of the Earth's hemispheres is tilted away from the Sun the insolation it receives has to pass through a thicker layer of atmosphere and is therefore more likely to be reflected back into space by clouds, absorbed by water vapour or scattered by dust and pollution before it reaches the ground.
What should Neil explain next?
I would love a talk about magnetars and pulsars.
@@SiriusDogStar369 I think it'd be better to start with you, little buddy. What's with the rage hate?
How to read the night sky without a telescope

A live audience would have burst out with serious laughter a couple of times and end with some well deserved applause. Beautiful show!

exactly !
So cute
Yeah, both of them are very smart and funny African-Americans.
No they are actually quite embarrassing. Such a pity because Neil has an amazing wealth of knowledge to share.
I prefer Neil on his own I just don’t find the other guy funny maybe that’s part of it

And so much fun!
These two have the best bromance!❤
As much as I love Neil's office, I really like the new set. Very clean and sleek looking.
It’s the Meta NYC office studio. They were probably visiting.

The reference is to the plane that contains the planets. Yes, all planets are located in the same plane.
The measurements are all relative. As Einstein described in his famous theory. 🙃
@@alani3992 Roughly the same plane, but not exactly. The orbital planes of each planet vary by a few degrees.
