I've been hearing about a theoretical ninth planet for a long time, and always wondered why they couldn't definitively prove it's existence. This video put it into perspective better than any source I've seen.
One time I missed a day of highschool so my science teacher made me stay late the next day to complete yesterdays activity. I spent 2 hours alone pulling a string across the schools longest hallway to represent how far apart the planets were and then counting the floor tiles in between to calculate the distance. I never forgave him.
Can we just appreciate the editing skill it must have taken to mark all those planets with trackers and animate the orbits and put together all the drone footage, audio and everything?
This is something I've thought of too. My assumption is that 1. he can go back to more formal work if it's something he feels compelled to do. 2. He's reaching millions of young minds who may have not considered a career in engineering or physics who will grow up and do incredible work.

Actually, gravity is the weakest of the four fundamental forces, but it does have tremendous range. At the distances of galaxy groups it is effectively infinite; at longer ranges it drops off to near zero. It is not really a force either; it is a warping of space-time. Objects with mass "bend" space-time so that other objects with mass roll toward them. The amount of 'bend' is reciprocal to the amount of mass. The sun contains 99.86 % of all the mass in our solar system. That's why objects so far away are held in the sun's orbit.
@@weekendwitheshaan5401 I wasn't commenting directly on what he's talking about. I made a general statement about gravity addressing the comment by @Dimaz42... So it's quite presumptuous of you to infer I don't know what he's talking about.

The thing is that we know an soccer ball as an light object. The sun on the other hand is a really dense object. It's like a ball made from aluminium. And the objects are already spinning so the fact that they orbit the sun isn't as surprising.

Americans know intimately how big an American football field is. Those fields are the center piece of nearly every school district where space is available. You can pass two or three on a ten minute drive where I live. It makes a great frame of reference for Americans. Miles and kilometers are much less easily envisioned for an average person than American football fields are to Americans. It's also a convenient place with measurements visible from a drone. And, it's easy to gain access. Too convenient to pass up : ) Maybe you can convince Colin Furze to do it with metric measurements for you?
This is beautiful. Might seem weird to some but it's stuff like this that really makes me calm, gives me peace to know that my everyday life problems are just THAT miniscule. I've dreamt of being an astronaut since I was 5, I told my parents that's what I wanted to be and they did the obligatory encouraging laugh and pat on the head, then left it alone. When I kept saying it all through elementary school and into middle school my Mom joked that I had to take her with me because if something happened and I died up there she was gonna have to die with me.

hey mark- just wanted to let you know this is my 4yo son's absolute favorite video on RUclips. we've seen it at least a dozen times. he's completely bitten by the space bug- he knows exactly what the curiosity Rover is, and I think he especially likes the fact that you worked on it. keep up the good work man!
we watched 'The Martian' with the boys (4&6 yo) and they were glued to the set for the entire 2+ hours. a couple swear words were totally worth the experience of seeing their interest in Watney's will to survive.
you know why they removed the planet status? pluto is not alone, it has brothers and sisters, at least 15, and then there are at least 23 they orbit the sun a bit further away. pluto is just the largest rock in the kuiper belt
Doesn't matter how many times I see stuff like this... My mind is still blown. And to consider how minuscule this is compared to the galaxy, which is one of 100 billion in the observable universe, which may not be all that is in the entire universe - a universe which may be infinite, making all in our observable section pale in comparison to the point where it isn't even a speck of dust - it practically becomes nothing. Yet, to us, it is everything.
+Crazycliff98 its not wider, the spaces between things in the observable universe would expand, the observable universe would expand too but it will pan out the same size... just everything is further from each other
The Observable Universe is not the full Universe. Crazy ain't it? The actual Universe is bigger because we've seen Galaxies go so far away that they dissappear out of sight because Light is stretched so much that the wavelength is not enough to be able to see.
respect for the drone that literally flew to space for a youtube video. wow. also respect for mark for taking size and distance comparisons to the next level. you don't deserve 29.1M subscribers, you deserve 100M! :)

This is my favorite Mark video. I revisit it time to time, and even when I can logically understand the vast of the universe... I can't fully represent it in my head. That's why I love astronomy.
In my town, there's a scale model of the solar system. It starts on the Northwest corner of the town square (The scale model sun is about 4 ft tall)and ends at the lakeshore with Pluto (after about 1.5 miles of trails.) The sun: 4 ft tall, northwest corner of the town square Mercury: Size of a pinhead, a few paces away from the Sun Venus: Marble sized, next to the monument in the center of the town square Earth: Marble sized, southeastern corner of the town square Mars: between pinhead and marble, next to the grill w/ best hot dogs on the square Asteroid belt: next to Vietnam war monument, near the library Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune: ranging from golf ball to baseball, various points along the trail Pluto (the model was made in the 90s): lakeshore
Fun fact: Would Sonic the hedgehog run to the sun with lightspeed, he would tell us it took no time at all. But from our point of view he would have needed 8 minutes and we should be really grateful that video game characters have no mass.

you know why they removed the planet status? pluto is not alone, it has brothers and sisters, at least 15, and then there are at least 23 they orbit the sun a bit further away. pluto is just the largest rock in the kuiper belt

It would be really cool to have another video like this one, showing the scale of the distance to the next closest solar system.
At this scale, it worked out to be 6317km, which is 99% the radius of the Earth, or the distance from London to Chicago.
@@morganmitchell4017 I mean you could just use the path of the sun to planet nine, only the other way around
I mean that's pretty close
That rogue asteroid was sooooooooo cute for passing by
I come back to watch this video every so often, it amazes me every time.
It still blows my mind trying to actually comprehend all of it! Fascinating.
I didn’t realize mark lives like 30 minutes from me till I watched this video😂
wow
Ok
Wowza lolza
Your lucky
Youza luckeyza
To this day, this is still my favorite Mark Rober video. Sometimes less is more.
I have such nostalgia for this video i don’t know why.
5:43 Damn, boy's got some freestyle football skills
He should collaborate with the F2.

2:10 for some reason when I first watched this in like 2017 i always found him doing random push ups funny
Man, it's amazing how far away we are from the sun. It reminds me of how far away I am from getting my own hedgehog.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
......Why was this funny to me?
Thanks for that chuckle this morning lol it's been a bad morning. Taking a RUclips break you made me laugh lol
Damn this hits me hard lol. Not as hard as my dads belt but still hard.
Doesn't matter how many times I see stuff like this... My mind is still blown. And to consider how minuscule this is compared to the galaxy, which is one of 100 billion in the observable universe, which may not be all that is in the entire universe - a universe which may be infinite, making all in our observable section pale in comparison to the point where it isn't even a speck of dust - it practically becomes nothing. Yet, to us, it is everything.
yeah, and observable universe is getting wider and wider
+Crazycliff98 its not wider, the spaces between things in the observable universe would expand, the observable universe would expand too but it will pan out the same size... just everything is further from each other
Resan Chea well close enough
Crazycliff98 yeah
The Observable Universe is not the full Universe. Crazy ain't it?
The actual Universe is bigger because we've seen Galaxies go so far away that they dissappear out of sight because Light is stretched so much that the wavelength is not enough to be able to see.
6:10
I’m just looking at his shirt which he literally just said was not to scale
Mark Rober’s video shows a different scaling. Mercury would be in the 10 yard line and with its size of a small speck of peppercorn.
Earth/mars: WhO yOu CaLliNg pInHEAd
and venus (anyone else saying it like venice with a u?)
Mars i pepper
Who tf says VEHN-US insetad of VEE-NUS.
Mars is a speck of pepper, not a pinhead.
HotDog 640 everyone
Represents the distance in miles and yards.
Foreign people like me : Are the SI units joke to you?
You forgot the football fields
its funny because he was a scientist and they use si units
It’s Football and American football field and isn’t a yard the American word for a garden?
a yard is roughly equivalent to a meter

I'm glad to hear somebody else saying the same thing iv been saying for years. The universe is to large for us to be the only sentient beings in the galaxy

@yamiGAJw
Pluto: SHUT UP ;-;
Because pluto is part of the kuiper belt, a large belt of pluto sized ice chunks orbiting the sun
@@tishaflorence1009 no the kuiper belt
@yamiGAJw it's an asteriod
I remember doing something like this back in middle school, and my teacher would lead our class for blocks placing little "planets" along the way. It really shows how big our solar system is
This is my favorite Mark video.
I revisit it time to time, and even when I can logically understand the vast of the universe... I can't fully represent it in my head. That's why I love astronomy.
In my town, there's a scale model of the solar system. It starts on the Northwest corner of the town square (The scale model sun is about 4 ft tall)and ends at the lakeshore with Pluto (after about 1.5 miles of trails.)
The sun: 4 ft tall, northwest corner of the town square
Mercury: Size of a pinhead, a few paces away from the Sun
Venus: Marble sized, next to the monument in the center of the town square
Earth: Marble sized, southeastern corner of the town square
Mars: between pinhead and marble, next to the grill w/ best hot dogs on the square
Asteroid belt: next to Vietnam war monument, near the library
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune: ranging from golf ball to baseball, various points along the trail
Pluto (the model was made in the 90s): lakeshore
Fun fact:
Would Sonic the hedgehog run to the sun with lightspeed, he would tell us it took no time at all.
But from our point of view he would have needed 8 minutes and we should be really grateful that video game characters have no mass.
Nice hedgehog reference. Your Clever
No one gonna point out mark’s soccer moves?
Okay just me
He used a stunt double.
Impressive for americans right..

I don't understand how this man only has 600k subs! He is a god when it comes to making informational and fun videos. Instead of overloading you with useless facts he makes sure he tells you all you need to know and simplifies it with pictures or objects to help you understand information while still making it interesting. Keep doing what you're going Mark!

@@ChakatNightspark pluto doesnt count as a planet though, it is a dwarf planetoid. Its biggest claim to fame is basically being the first known object in the kuiper belt(also the largest known kuiper object).

The sand concept blew my mind even more. The desert has so much sand, I can’t contemplate that!
Yup. It shows how incomprehensible God is. He created all of that. He holds it in his hands.
