I thought this was pretty cool. Holy fucking Jupiter man. And Saturn is just so damn sexy.

Cool video, but the larger

Cool video, but the larger gas giants wouldn't look like that, they would be further away or else we (the earth) would be inside their atmospheres. Also, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune would all rip us apart. It wouldn't be very peaceful on Earth.

Even if we had Venus as a satellite, Earth would be fucked.

Cool vid

Incorrect assertion I'm afraid.

 

Distance from earth to moon: 384,400 km

Radius of moon: 1737.4 km

Therefore distance from surface of earth to centre of moon: 386,137.4 km

Equatorial radius of Jupiter: 71,492 km (ignoring ionosphere, magnetosphere, i.e. the 'invisible' parts of the atmosphere)

Therefore, if we replaced the moon with Jupiter, there'd still be a distance between us of 314,645.4 km.

Based on the relative radii of the moon and jupiter, at the same distance from us, Jupiter would appear 41.1x larger, which looks approximately correct in this video.

OK I'll let you in on it..

 

I posted the reply on April 1st. It was supposed to be a April's Fool joke on you but GodsUseForAMosquito took the bait and not you... so I wrote him an email and told him the jig.

I was going to play around with you but the 1st was over and so, "what's the point of continuing?"

 Wow harley, you must be really lean.  The last time I weighed 154 was when I was about 18 years old and had about 5% body fat.   Not any more though, being middle aged sucks !

I wasn't 154 since I was 14. When I was 18 I was 180 at 6'3.
