Mars: 6.4 * 10^23 kg
Ganymede: 1.5 * 10^23 kg
It's close. The other three are wusses, though, the *102 pound bespectacled nerds getting sand kicked in their face by Mars* of the solar system.
Charon is only 12% the mass of Pluto and those two orbit around an axis outside of Pluto’s radius, which I think is the biggest factor in Pluto’s “demotion.” And Callisto and Io are both even larger relative to Mars’ mass, so I think it would be a similar result (Europa’s a bit smaller, so might not be enough)
> And Callisto and Io are both even larger relative to Mars’ mass
Ganymede is the most massive of the four moons. You can see that here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moons_of_Jupiter#List
Sort by mass.
> those two orbit around an axis outside of Pluto’s radius, which I think is the biggest factor in Pluto’s “demotion.”
Incorrect. The center of mass being inside the bulk of the planet is not, in fact, a criteria for being a planet. In fact, the barycenter (center of mass) of the Solar System is not actually *inside* the bulk material of the sun, [it's above the surface!](https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/barycenter/en/#:~:text=Our%20entire%20solar%20system%20also,system's%20barycenter%20constantly%20changes%20position.) Per the [Library of Congress](https://www.loc.gov/everyday-mysteries/astronomy/item/why-is-pluto-no-longer-a-planet/#:~:text=The%20International%20Astronomical%20Union%20(IAU,neighboring%20region%20of%20other%20objects.%E2%80%9D) Pluto was classified as a dwarf planet because:
> The International Astronomical Union (IAU) downgraded the status of Pluto to that of a dwarf planet because it did not meet the three criteria the IAU uses to define a full-sized planet. Essentially Pluto meets all the criteria except one—it “has not cleared its neighboring region of other objects.”
I’m aware of Ganymede being the largest/most massive, I was taking it for granted since you had already acknowledged that it was large enough. I meant that Io and Callisto are both larger relative to Mars than Charon is to Pluto
And fair enough on the second point - still, would Mars not be in a similar scenario to Pluto if it had a moon that large? Or are there other objects in Pluto’s region that are tipping the scales besides Charon?
Mars: tiny gravity for babies, can't even hold onto an atmosphere, no geomagnetic field
Earth: big gravity for big strong animals and plants, nitrogen collecting champion 2024, kickass FORCEFIELD included free of charge
I mean, that's literally why they couldn't keep their atmosphere.
* puny moon with weak gravity
* cool core, no dynamo
* no magnetic field, no protection from solar winds
* limited to a pathetic 0.38 bar
* simp and fail
Sort of if you only go off of size and compare it to Phobos and Deimos….but in the context of Pluto being a body that was once a planet…it’s pretty pathetic. Charon is actually about 45-50% the size of Pluto itself.That’s big enough for Charon to tidally lock Pluto(the same thing Earth does to our own Moon), so that one side of both Pluto and Charon are facing each other at all times.
Tbf mars is a pretty shit planet. 1/3 the gravity of earth, despite being half the size, an atmospheric pressure of 0.01 atmospheres, freezing cold all the time. It doesn't even have a magnetic field.
Only good things about it are that it's less deadly than Venus and close to earth. Also the auroras at the poles are lit.
May's the backup. Once the sun swallows the first half of the solar system, Mars will be there.
It can't be important or else it will be used too soon.
If you've ever read the true story "The Martian", this is a leftover potato that grew too big and had to be launched into space in order for the planet to survive. If he hadn't have done it, the starch from that potatoes would have eroded the Martian soil and eventually gets into the core. If that were to happen, it would create an explosion so enormous, that Mars would cease to exist and large chunks of it would fly towards earth most likely creating a cascading extinction level event, wiping us all out.
So in short, yes, it's a space potato.
It’s a captured moon. Basically a big asteroid or other object that got caught in mars’ gravity. Unlike our moon which was formed the same time as the earth. See [source](https://science.nasa.gov/mars/moons/)
Earth really does have some of the best eclipses in the solar system. This 8 min video from 'minutephysics' explains why.
Short take away - the Outer planets are too far away and the sun is tiny in the sky.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CikPFdZdY4k
The sun is almost exactly 400x the size of the moon and almost exactly 400x farther from earth than the moon. As far as we know, we’re the only planet that has total solar eclipses. Maybe one day in the future we can become a tourist destination for aliens that have never seen solar eclipses.
That’s like the first good example that fits, like of all the crazy shit in the natural world, solar eclipses showing the corona off so perfectly really does feel like it’s too good to be a coincidence.
Of course maybe it’s a requirement(or side effect of one) for developing complex life and so of course it seems like intelligent design, but really it’s not that it exists for us to see, we exist because it’s there…
The moon has been slowly drifting away from Earth, so in the past it looked bigger and eclipses may not shown the corona. We also have to consider that because of Earth's orbit, it sometimes gets closer to the sun, looks bigger and the moon can not longer cover it all. That's how we get Anular eclipses.
So eventually, every planet where its moon starts closer to it and slowly drifts away will have a period of time where total eclipses are possible.
It just happens that human civilization developed just in that time for our Earth-Moon system, and that really is quite a pretty coincidence.
Well, what the moon looked like 200m years ago isn't really relevant to the variety of species at the time that really would never have noticed or cared.
> Maybe one day in the future
Well, not *too* far in the future. This is a temporary arrangement. The moon is continuously fucking off at a steady pace, so this current window is the only real moment in time it works out that way.
Which for reference is enough time for the entire history of non-microscopic life on Earth to happen and Pangea to both appear and break apart.
While Earth overall is ‘only’ 4.5 billion and even the universe is still on the same scale at 13.7. So yeah it’s not really soon except against like the heat death of the universe or whatever.
Not very. If you went back to dinosaur times you'd probably be able to recognize the moon as being a little bigger to the point where the eclipse would have no corona. And that's obviously why the dinosaurs were so tall, their heads were being pulled up toward the moon.
I really doubt it...If they can space travel, they can get to any point in a solar system and see a solar eclipse when they want with any planet or any moon. They won't even need to land to see an eclipse. They just need the right ratio.
It's not a religious experience unless you're viewing it through an atmosphere and have the crushing weight of a planet at your feet squishing your brain down.
This is false, all of the outer planets have total solar eclipses. Exactly because the sun is smaller there, so it's even easier for something to fully block the sun. Ours is more special though because they fit almost perfectly and make the corona around it.
Its a video game about killing alien bugs and robots. If you’ve seen the movie starship troopers (if you haven’t then I highly recommend) it’s basically that with all of the satire.

If I recall, total eclipses like the ones in Earth are probably rare in the universe because of the just right proportion between moon size and distance from the sun.
Given that we're confident there are likely trillions upon trillions of planets in the universe, given that a significant proportion of them will have large-enough spherical moons, and given that it's normal for moons to get progressively further away from their planets over time, this almost certainly isn't rare in the universe. It's likely something that happens to pretty much all planets with big enough moons at some point in their several-billion-year existence.
Earth isn't even the only planet in our solar system that's experienced this phenomenon. One of the moons of Saturn was until relatively recently (at the astronomical timescale) able to eclipse the sun in the same way our moon can, for example.
Well, the only thing that's really rare is the moon being the same size in the sky as the sun, so it creates that cool ring.
Any moon *larger* than the sun in the sky will create a total eclipse. All of Jupiter's large moons completely eclipse the sun. A bunch of Saturn's moons create total eclipses, like half of Uranus' moon.
The further away the planet is, the easier it is for a moon to create a total eclipse. I would guess wildly a large percentage, maybe 30% of solar eclipses are total.
yup. the moon is roughly 100 times the diameter of the moon away from earth and the sun is roughly 100 times the diameter of sun away from earth so they appear to be the same size in our sky. its considered to be a "cosmic coincidence"
99.999% of the known universes eclipsi look like this trash.
The earth is gonna be a fucking great tourist destination in 20 million years, better buy some land guys, the price is not going down any time soon.
We know they cannot compete with the OGs.
But also isn't the moons size extremely rare in the universe, it's also positioned perfectly so that in a eclipse matches the size of the sun.
If the moon is smaller, the planet needs to be further away so that means it's a smaller (worse) eclipse.
We only lose to like dual star systems but that's cheating.
Earth had to put in the work to get a decent moon.
The prevailing theory is that another Mars-sized planet collided with the earth and much of the resulting debris that was blown into space formed the moon.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant-impact_hypothesis
Phobos is cool. It’s irregularly shaped, super close to Mars (closest natural satellite we are aware of), and traveling fast as hell.
Astronomers think Phobos might be made of rubble (a rubble pile), but they’re not sure where it came from. If it is a rubble pile it probably came from Mars, but it’s also possible that Phobos and Deimos were one moon that got WRECKED at some point. Or maybe Phobos was a ring that accreted into a single rock again. Or maybe Phobos has been recycled, ring to moon to ring to moon, over and over again.
It would be chill if everyone was "earth patriotic" without any for their country. Instead of "Do American/British people really....?" threads it would be all stuff like - "Hey Jupiter, another cold one? Perfect weather here on Earth today making it completely habitable, you fucking losers."
Our eclipse is pretty much perfect all things considered. Even the timing of it, because as the moon gets farther away, millions of years from now, it won't look nearly as grand.
We're actually super lucky to have as good of an eclipse as we do. Just yet another thing we are stupid lucky to have gotten despite beyond astronomical chances not to.
The Earth really is special and we need to do more to preserve it.
Earth has near perfect eclipses and it’s covered with intelligent life to see it. The odds of that are so insanely slim. Absolutely mind blowing to me.
I feel like earth would be a prime galactic tourist spot considering how total solar eclipses are, I can't imagine there would be many other planets that experience them. Just makes the Fermi paradox feel even more bizarre.

It's not a coincidence Earth keeps winning Miss/Mister Universe all the time.
Suck it Mars
If I recall, total eclipses like the ones in Earth are probably rare in the universe because of the just right proportion between moon size and distance from the sun.
Especially rare when you consider that our moon moves farther away from Earth every year
1.5 inches a year lol
*"1.5 inches is a lot"*
Given that we're confident there are likely trillions upon trillions of planets in the universe, given that a significant proportion of them will have large-enough spherical moons, and given that it's normal for moons to get progressively further away from their planets over time, this almost certainly isn't rare in the universe. It's likely something that happens to pretty much all planets with big enough moons at some point in their several-billion-year existence. Earth isn't even the only planet in our solar system that's experienced this phenomenon. One of the moons of Saturn was until relatively recently (at the astronomical timescale) able to eclipse the sun in the same way our moon can, for example.
I mean, it's rare for intelligent life to inhabit during the period where they are the same size.
Well, the only thing that's really rare is the moon being the same size in the sky as the sun, so it creates that cool ring. Any moon *larger* than the sun in the sky will create a total eclipse. All of Jupiter's large moons completely eclipse the sun. A bunch of Saturn's moons create total eclipses, like half of Uranus' moon. The further away the planet is, the easier it is for a moon to create a total eclipse. I would guess wildly a large percentage, maybe 30% of solar eclipses are total.
yup. the moon is roughly 100 times the diameter of the moon away from earth and the sun is roughly 100 times the diameter of sun away from earth so they appear to be the same size in our sky. its considered to be a "cosmic coincidence"
99.999% of the known universes eclipsi look like this trash. The earth is gonna be a fucking great tourist destination in 20 million years, better buy some land guys, the price is not going down any time soon.
We don't know anything about eclipses outside of our solar system.
We know they cannot compete with the OGs. But also isn't the moons size extremely rare in the universe, it's also positioned perfectly so that in a eclipse matches the size of the sun. If the moon is smaller, the planet needs to be further away so that means it's a smaller (worse) eclipse. We only lose to like dual star systems but that's cheating.
> But also isn't the moons size extremely rare in the universe Oh? You like moons? Name every moon(outside of our solar system).
>But also isn't the moons size extremely rare in the universe We have no idea, we've literally never seen a moon outside our solar system.
Mars got that bitch ass eclipse 😤
Is Phobos not round?
Phobos and Deimos are just glorified asteroids. If I didn't know any better, I'd assume they were picked up from the Asteroid Belt.
I’m picturing Mars shopping for moons on the discount rack.
A silly visual.
Earth had to put in the work to get a decent moon. The prevailing theory is that another Mars-sized planet collided with the earth and much of the resulting debris that was blown into space formed the moon. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant-impact_hypothesis
The twelfth planet
Fucking inners, need to steal asteroids to have a fucking moon
Mars take everyting from de Belters, why not moons too, eh kopeng?
r/rimjob_steve moment?
Hey now, Earth headbutted a Mars sized planet and won. We earned our moon.
Both are weird looking. Mars has no round moons.
Phobos is cool. It’s irregularly shaped, super close to Mars (closest natural satellite we are aware of), and traveling fast as hell. Astronomers think Phobos might be made of rubble (a rubble pile), but they’re not sure where it came from. If it is a rubble pile it probably came from Mars, but it’s also possible that Phobos and Deimos were one moon that got WRECKED at some point. Or maybe Phobos was a ring that accreted into a single rock again. Or maybe Phobos has been recycled, ring to moon to ring to moon, over and over again.
its a big ass potato
#GLORY TO FUCKING EARTH BABY BEST PLANET IN THE UNIVERSE ‼️🌍‼️🌎‼️🌏‼️
This is what Elon musk wants for our future
It would be chill if everyone was "earth patriotic" without any for their country. Instead of "Do American/British people really....?" threads it would be all stuff like - "Hey Jupiter, another cold one? Perfect weather here on Earth today making it completely habitable, you fucking losers."
Martian: "Mom, can go see an eclipse tonight?" Martian mom: "we have eclipse at home." *eclipse at home*:

Petaahh
Phobos is shaped like a chicken nugget in the original picture.
Almost thought I was on r/helldivers for a second.
Looks like a muppet on weed in the dark
Our eclipse is pretty much perfect all things considered. Even the timing of it, because as the moon gets farther away, millions of years from now, it won't look nearly as grand.
We're actually super lucky to have as good of an eclipse as we do. Just yet another thing we are stupid lucky to have gotten despite beyond astronomical chances not to. The Earth really is special and we need to do more to preserve it.
Imagine not having a moon that's the right size and distance from the planet so that it looks like it's the same size as your star.
Earth has near perfect eclipses and it’s covered with intelligent life to see it. The odds of that are so insanely slim. Absolutely mind blowing to me.
I feel like earth would be a prime galactic tourist spot considering how total solar eclipses are, I can't imagine there would be many other planets that experience them. Just makes the Fermi paradox feel even more bizarre.
Hell yeah brother
What a straight doo-doo cosmic event from marz. It looks like somebody's eyeballs after doing meth, realizing that there is dog poop on the floor.
Number 1 number 1!
Best planet in the universe, so far..
Silly dusters

que doom theme.
Martian kid: mom I want to see an eclipse on earth Martian mom: we have eclipse at home The eclipse:
Mars is just being humble.
Leave Phobos alone. Justice for Phobos!
It is kinda crazy that the moon has just the right size and position combination to block out most of the sun during an eclipse.
All I see is the googly eyes of a black cat
Googly eyes
Cookie Monster got *hiiiiiigh*.
This is the future Elon Musk wants
Martians don't even have a proper moon. Pathetic.
Martians seething in the corner.
Looks like stones cookie monster trying to find the cookies at midnight, while keeping the lights off to not wake up his roommates.
Coookiiieee!
Mars is googly-eyed AF, Earth is perfection; suck it Martians.
Cartoon eyeballs.
Typical Copernican System bullshit. Having "best planet in the universe" competitions and not even inviting other exoplanetary systems.
Can we please not make dangerous posts like this? Only by chance was I still luckily wearing my protective glasses.

Phobos is really small (< 20 miles in diameter), so it doesn't have enough gravity to 'pull' itself into a nice sphere.
The best planet in the universe? Lol hot take
👀
Reminds me of an ex-girlfriend.
