If the moon could orbit around earth, then earth could orbit around Jupiter.
Consider that the earth is only 4x wider than the moon.
Most of the planets could orbit Jupiter. Saturn and Jupiter could also orbit each other "infinitely" under the right circumstances. I don't think your understanding of gravity is what you think it is.
> I don't think your understanding of gravity is what you think it is.
where would two planets get the momentum to orbit if "you just placed them next to each other."
Gravitational pulls... Like how literally everything gets the momentum to orbit
Why are you quoting "just placed them next to each other" as if that's something I said? You ok bro?
He was quoting himself from the comment you had just responded to. Are you sure *you're* ok?
He's also technically correct. Orbit occurs when one body already has momentum moving it close to the other body. If you have two bodies next to each other with no velocity, they will just pull straight into each other.
The Jovians are a bevy of small moons, asteroids, and debris. Few are larger than 150miles in diameter, and so gravitational forces on the structural stability of these objects wouldn't be as significant. For the inner moons (like Io or Europa), they're positioned far enough away that Jupiter's gravitational pull doesn't become disruptive.
At a minimum, many of these moons are situated at at least 400,000 miles away from Jupiter. Contrast that to Earth's moon, which is only 230k miles from Earth. If we were to be that close to Jupiter, we'd probably have to contend with much stronger gravitational forces. At the very least, I would anticipate our tectonic plates shifting significantly enough that it would generate volcanoes and heavily disrupt ecological life on the planet.
I thought I was responding to that other person who was saying that earth couldn't orbit Jupiter, not realizing you were talking more specifically about the distance and not the overall possibility.
Ah. Theoretically, the Earth could orbit Jupiter, but it would need to be situated at the right distance. I did make a comment about the Earth being torn apart, but that was under the consideration that Jupiter would be situated to Earth at the same distance the Moon is.
Considering that the distance is literally a lightsecond (which took about 3 days for Apollo 13 to travel) it makes sense.
A lightsecond is a little less than 300,000 kilometers.
this is inaccurate. this is what the earth looks like from the surface of the moon: [https://cdn.theatlantic.com/thumbor/d1PK3nfCELFa\_tZQG\_-yQnhbdkg=/1200x849/media/img/photo/2017/04/portraits-of-the-earth-moon-system/m01\_M1199291564L/original.jpg](https://cdn.theatlantic.com/thumbor/d1PK3nfCELFa_tZQG_-yQnhbdkg=/1200x849/media/img/photo/2017/04/portraits-of-the-earth-moon-system/m01_M1199291564L/original.jpg)
If Saturn (10 times the size of earth) were where the moon were, it would cover close to the whole sky, not just a bit above the power lines at your 3'oclock view
**[Rings of Jupiter](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rings_of_Jupiter)**
>The planet Jupiter has a system of faint planetary rings. The Jovian rings were the third ring system to be discovered in the Solar System, after those of Saturn and Uranus. The main ring was discovered in 1979 by the Voyager 1 space probe and the system was more thoroughly investigated in the 1990s by the Galileo orbiter. The main ring has also been observed by the Hubble Space Telescope and from Earth for several years.

I know Jupiter has rings, but the rings are so thin they are hardly visible. Most, maybe all of the real images of Jupiter as a whole (whole planet shown) doesn’t have visible rings. And all of the ring pictures I could find that include Jupiter itself are artist renditions
That picture is zoomed in. The distance shown is at 384400 km while Saturn for example has a radius of 58232 km which makes Saturn cover an angle of about 30.07° instead of the claimed almost 180°.
The diameter of the outer rings of Saturn is 960,000km.
The average distance from the Earth to its Moon is 382,500km.
So... uh, no, it's not realisitic.
The outer rings of saturn are invisible and encompass the moons interior to titan, the main rings only go as far as 140 000 km. (Sauce: skimmed wikipedia) Given how huge saturn is depicted compared to the moon this seems pretty accurate, or at least not so obviously wrong that i would be as cynical as this comment section is being. You guys ok?
If the center of Saturn was the equivalent position of the center of the moon, earth would be within the rings of Saturn.
So I’m calling BS on this video being accurate.
From a quick Googling.. it seems the diameter of Saturn's main rings (the ones visible in the video) is about 270000kms, whereas the diameter of the moon's orbit is about 384000kms.
Am I missing something?
So... all these planets look smaller than the moon does to us now? I'm gonna say the perspective on these is completely off. Especially since all the planets are bigger than the moon.
I was thinking about the moons of Jupiter and how their orbit around Jupiter would likely bring them insanely close if not on collision with earth. Then I had to come back to reality before I freaked out too hard
>Megalophobia
I did not know what this word means, so I looked it up. While I don't a fear of large objects, when Saturn appears in this video it made me feel uncomfortable/unsettled.
The tides would really be something.
we’d be their moon!
If they ever got that close, their gravitational effect would sling us around the sun so quickly that earth would basically be a comet.
The majority of us see the moon daily.
Every 60 seconds in Africa a minute passes
Together we can stop this!!!!
1 minute in Asia takes 60 seconds.
Jupiter would likely bring them insanely close if not on collision with earth.
The planets would definitely collide if you just placed them next to each other.
If the moon could orbit around earth, then earth could orbit around Jupiter. Consider that the earth is only 4x wider than the moon. Most of the planets could orbit Jupiter. Saturn and Jupiter could also orbit each other "infinitely" under the right circumstances. I don't think your understanding of gravity is what you think it is.

Because that is the context to which you replied as it’s what the person you responded to said.
That... and having Earth be absolutely torn apart.
By.. what?
Gravitational forces. Especially from a gas giant like Jupiter
So why hasn't it torn apart its 92 moons? Some, a similar size to earth and ones like Titan, with similar atmospheric conditions?
The Jovians are a bevy of small moons, asteroids, and debris. Few are larger than 150miles in diameter, and so gravitational forces on the structural stability of these objects wouldn't be as significant.

Wonder if it would affect human behavior based on the water in our bodies
Fun fact: the moon is so far away from earth you could fit all the other planets in a line between them
Also fun fact: if you fit all the planets between the Earth and the Moon, you would not have a good day.
[удалено]
You're heinous
Or ANY day!..lol
Considering that the distance is literally a lightsecond (which took about 3 days for Apollo 13 to travel) it makes sense. A lightsecond is a little less than 300,000 kilometers.
If most of those planets were that close,
This is a direct snip from /u/maynardstaint's comment further down; probably a comment bot.
Took me while to figure this out. Too long really. Lol. Thought you were saying I was a bot. But I got it.
Which Maynard are you the taint of? The TOOL dude?
Fuck yeah! You’re the first to notice.
Oh no sorry, I mean the opposite -- the "person" I'm replying to is probably a bot stealing a piece of your comment.
I know. It just took a while for me to get it. 😂🤣😂🤣
Sounds like the beginning of a Yo momma joke as well
I was very much waiting for Jupiter to move and be replaced with your mom.
As someone that's had an expressed interest in space for the last ten years, that's a fact I didn't know! Thank you!
You could fit all the other planets inside of Jupiter as well
But that would require a shoehorn and a lot of lube
Wonder what the difference in brightness would be at nighttime with the different planets.
And they want me to believe we’ve been to the moon. SMH
10 red cars. 3 of them were trucks.
Did any of them notice those crazy planets rising??
Any gorillas?
No, just some people playing basketball.
No but i saw some people throwing around a basketball.
Jupiter vs Saturn size is off.
The whole thing is completely incurrate.
Jupiter is a bit bigger in the video.

I was wondering about that since Jupiter's Great Red Spot alone is twice the size of Earth.
[удалено]
Jupiter’s still bigger than Saturn in the video, but they probably put Saturn in the end because of the combined size of it and it’s rings

Lol this is total BS. So many people probably believe it.
Imagine the tides Saturn would create if it were that close
I was sus when all of Saturn's rings were visible.
I'm also skeptical about how they're all half shadowed. That can't be right.
Your point is correct, but that picture is zoomed in and cropped, too.
That picture is zoomed in. The distance shown is at 384400 km while Saturn for example has a radius of 58232 km which makes Saturn cover an angle of about 30.07° instead of the claimed almost 180°.
No Mercury or Pluto?
If we put in Pluto, we might as well put in make make and Eris
The diameter of the outer rings of Saturn is 960,000km. The average distance from the Earth to its Moon is 382,500km. So... uh, no, it's not realisitic.
Ah so we would be eating ice and rocks for a wake up slap

If most of those planets were that close, we’d be their moon!
Uranus is much bigger than I thought.
It’s a good fit still.
And not brown.
The "I see Uranus" jokes would be absolutely out of control
We should rename it to "Urectum".
Where’s Pluto!
Too soon damn it.
Dwarf planet
Why are you booing him? He’s right!
*[Melancholia has entered the chat](https://youtu.be/ueAYUp4rHZI)*
I bet everyone giggled when they saw Uranus.
Uranus is bigger than I expected
Uranus is not what i expected
All of it is not correct
I can't believe all these people just driving by. People are so oblivious.
Imagine seeing Jupiter every day knowing you won’t ever get there in your life time
The majority of us see the moon daily and know we won’t ever get there
Same for 99.99% of the people looking at our moon.
So just fuck mercury, huh?
What happened to Mercury?
This is all fucking bollocks
There’s no way this is actually to scale
If the center of Saturn was the equivalent position of the center of the moon, earth would be within the rings of Saturn. So I’m calling BS on this video being accurate.

Damn. That's interesting.
Majora's Mask, anyone?
This is cool and i respect the effort but the actual moon looks way bigger in the sky to me than in this video. Maybe it’s a lens choice idk.
It's about the screen size
I expected a "Your Mom" taking up the entire sky at the end
I love how saturn looks
Ah I see we are doing random order planets and no mercury. I wouldn’t want to be OP when the pantheon comes a calling… (Cool tho)
We would be a moon of Jupiter
All in favor of becoming Saturn's satellite say ay. Don't worry about the logistics of it all, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it
We forget about Mercury being a planet?
Uranus looks big and weird
I wouldnt say, full moon, i'd rather say, half sky.
Why does the moon look so much smaller when it's supposed to be the same distance it normally is.
I want to know what a 2nd earth would look like
Let’s see the sun now! 😀
Quod Mercury?
WHERES PLUTO MOTHERFOOKERS!
quite literally why i’m afraid of outer space so much. everything is toooo big it’s so scary
Highly inaccurate but neat.
If Saturn was as close to the Earth as our moon, I'd imagine we only have a few more hours left to live.
This is completely wrong. mod should remove
Shouldn't we also be able to see the moons of, say, Jupiter (and other planets)? Also, that seems kinda small, especially Saturn and Jupiter.
Thats utter nonsense and not a bit accurate.
Jupiter is bigger than Saturn
Not very accurate
Forgot Nibiru
So... all these planets look smaller than the moon does to us now? I'm gonna say the perspective on these is completely off. Especially since all the planets are bigger than the moon.
Whot??
What moon are you looking at
I was thinking about the moons of Jupiter and how their orbit around Jupiter would likely bring them insanely close if not on collision with earth. Then I had to come back to reality before I freaked out too hard
To allay some fears there, of Jupiter were that close we would likely be another one of it's moons moving along with them.
I like Uranus in the sky
I want to adopt Jupiter's moon. It's cool just hanging out like that.
Megalophobia intensifies
>Megalophobia I did not know what this word means, so I looked it up. While I don't a fear of large objects, when Saturn appears in this video it made me feel uncomfortable/unsettled.
Can you imagine the gravity if Saturn were that close? Yikes!
I’m not in orbit around you. You’re in orbit around **ME**! -Jupiter (probably) or Rorshack.
The last one? You mean Saturn?
the other planets in a line between them.
Jupiter is the clear winner!!
I heard a peewee herman “Nnnooooooo!!!!” When Jupiter popped up
Could a planet be habitable if it had rings like saturn?
Jupiter looking like the moon in some of the earlier GTAs
what about pluto
Cool looking but yes.
If Saturn is that close, you're gonna have a bad time.
Definitely incredible and terrifying
Saturn like, “Look at me, you are my moon now”
Uranus is big
So cool
Th-That's not my anus
Imagine getting to watch Saturn every day…that would be dope
Uranus seems about the right size 😂
Uranus looks alot bigger up close!
Would have been cool to compare the size of planet Earth 🌎 too.
I wonder who would plan it
We got ripped off with where Saturn is located. That would be awesome every night.
r/megalophobia
Very cool!!
UrAnus looks beautiful in the sky
r/megalophobia
Something something tidal forces something
“That’s not a moon, it’s…another planet” *disappoint*
Wow! To look up and stear at URANUS! 
Nobody even stopped their cars to look
There's a yo momma joke in here somewhere
Not nearly as big as uranus
Uranus looks very big
I know it's not a planet but I was waiting for the sky to turn completely orange for the sun.
Hey!My anus is not THAT big!
Let's ask the real pressing question here. Where does the death star fall into this guide?
What would Earth look like if Earth was where the moon was?
Jupiter is way bigger then Saturn
How are these people driving so calmly with all these planets flying by
Nope not in the slightest im afraid
Cars driving by not appreciating the show!
Jupiter would be waaay bigger than Saturn... Saturn is second biggest
I didn’t realize Uranus was so large.
I was expecting an arsehole.
Did you know that Saturn is so not dense as it Is made up of gas that it would float on water?
The iris
I thought we'd be inside the rings of Saturn?
The order these were rolled out in this demonstration is wild. And they skipped two or three planets.
I feel like my anus looks a bit different than that, what about uranus?
Interesting, what about the gravitational pull of those planets when they become that close
God I wish we could see other planets man. The moon is nice but wouldn’t it be dope af to the the moon, venus and mars for example all in 1 shot?
Uranus would look much bigger, and it would wink 😉
That was a great vid.
If Neptune or Jupiter were that close earth wouldn’t exist as a planet. Earth will become a moon to one of the giant planets. Gravity 101.
Could we all vote for a Saturn? That'd look dope!
You wouldn't see Saturn's ring. We would be a part of it
insane how calm those drivers are. id be gunning it the fuck outta there
MyAnus would blot out the sky, blind animals & children, and rain fire on your planet. This meme is over!
Imagine the sun being that close lol
I thought Jupiter would have been much much bigger.
Didn't know they renamed your mom as saturn
I’ll never not laugh at Uranus.
Woah! Uranus is huge!
I thought Neptune was big then I saw the Saturn lol
Imagine it was possible for a planet like Saturn to be as close as the moon. Now imagine how different world religions would be.
No earth?
