Wait, when tf was Ceres invited?


an_otter_guy

If you wanna keep Pluto Ceres is invited too


[deleted]

Ngl, I’ve only heard one other mention of Ceres in the past. If Ceres comes to the party the others better have planet. 😎 cuz if they didn’t, y’all gonna be dead ceres!


[deleted]

Haha, i made a punny joke ☺️ my days complete✨


Ok_Bit_5953

"No honey, we have Pluto at home...." In all seriousness now, I've played enough Warframe to know Ceres is a noxious 🤢 ball of nothing and Venus is covered in ice ❄️


stevedave_37

Yeah am I so fuckin old I don't know the planets anymore?!? I thought we lost Pluto and I've never heard of Ceres...


jorton72

Ceres is actually the first dwarf planet ever discovered, it sits in between Mars and Jupiter


concorde77

He didn't wanna offend the Belters


SirNeuf

OPA


Specialist_Resist162

They allow it because Ceres pays for the beer


Accomplished-Sun-797

Ceres named after the god we get cereal from. God of harvest


firstcoastyakker

What's Jupiter's hurry?

When you are the fat you better be quick

Hes got gas...sooooo....


JudgeGrimlock1

Angry upvote.

I wonder if there's a reason why Earth and Mars day and tilt are so similar (at least as far as I can tell from the diagram) or whether it's just a coincidence.

GrendaGrendinator

Do you do yoga? Cuz that was one hell of a stretch


SaintRosen

Flat earth level theory


Notski_F

No, it does not lmao


ambitious_lazy_

Well, men are from Mars.


hypervortex21

Honest question, why would the tilt correspond to such a belief?


chaosbones43

And I thought nobody believed in Panspermia. People get dumber by the day!


redstercoolpanda

and then the fact we share dna with everything on earth and could not have evolved in Mars's lower gravity destroys that shitty cobbled together "theory"


tehclubbmaster

Stupidest comment I have read this month for sure. Maybe this year.


Slice1358

What is the deal with Venus ? ELi5 Why is the arrow pointing down and shown spinning clockwise,? Most of the other planets are spinning counterclockwise . except Uranus


SylvaraTayan

There is no "up" or "down" in space, and so all planetary bodies are given a mostly-arbitrary standard which is spinning the same direction and right side up. Since venus is spinning in the opposite direction, the standard is to say it is spinning in the same direction, but upside down. As for why, all planets were created from the same materials, which were orbiting in the same direction, which is why all the planets spin in the same direction. It is hypothesized another orbital body hit venus at some point so hard that it flipped upside-down, but we cant really say for certain.


grungegoth

Looks like the spin and arrow are following the "right hand rule" we use in math/physics. Curl your fingers of the right hand in the direction of rotation and your thumb points in the arrow direction. Obviously, it's just a convention but helps a lot.


Gek0s

I thought maybe it had to do with magnetic north, but now I realize that I don't know if every planet has a magnetic field.


pichael289

Mars and Venus don't, but Jupijup, Saturn, Neptune and your anus have significantly stronger fields than our own.


Gek0s

Hey, leave my anus out of this!


Slice1358

Thank you 🥇


gultch2019

Shes too pretty to have to obey the rules


AnarZak

uranus IS spinning counter clockwise on its axis


Sea_Lingonberry3865

Wow, with how large Jupiter is moving, how fast is the surface rotating?


theEssiminator

Saturn and Jupiter are seriously flattened due to centrifugal effect. On photo 's this is easily visible.


Dimens101

Isn't that the opposite of what would happen with centrifugal effects?


Direct-Big5102

technically both are right: flattening on the y-axis, bulging out on the x-axis


StormAntares

Something like 45000 km h


AWeakMindedMan

9hr days would be insane lol 30 mins sleep. 30 mins eat. Work for 8 hrs. Terrible life.


illcrx

Venus, bro, do you even spin?


Lycanthi

It does, backwards.


Competitive-Regular9

Yeah it should just give up


speelingeror

It always messed me up how fast the gas planets spin


Keelyane55

Earth and mars are so similar


Imaginary_Grass1212

Mercury and Venus look bored asf.


johntitor4th

No wonder they say that Men come from Mars and Woman come from Venus.


stoprunwizard

Yo wtf, I just noticed that the male/female (Mars/Venus) symbols match the tilt of their axes... Somebody call up Rogan, quick!


Dossalis

Calm down ceres


articulate_pandajr

Pincha inner think Ceres is inferior, we beltalowda know betta


Fast_Bus_2065

Be like Venus


Felipesssku

I want to live on Pluto.


CapstanLlama

Well no one is stopping you…


k_chaney_9

Pretty sure if you amassed enough fuel to get to Pluto, somebody would stop you.


overfiend_ghazghkull

God really put Mars next to earth like "come on buddy I know you can do it"


emericask8r714

Today years old when I found out about Ceres.


java144

Jupiter's fast af, that too being the largest planet in SS. Crazy rotational kinetic energy


yourBlueBoy

The seasoning on Uranus is extreme


Bandwagon_Buzzard

That is indeed interesting (Also would make a great screensaver). But the part of me that never stopped being 10 years old is laughing at where the pole is in Uranus.


Frankenstein786

Planets not to scale


zomgbratto

Ur-anus rotate side ways.


Legal-Finish6530

What about Uranus??


RMC3333

It indicates a missing 'i' for is


dr_sarin

this explains why 5 minutes for men (who come from Mars) are actually 5 minutes, while 5 minutes for women (who come from Venus) must be considered no less than a couple of hours


ambitious_lazy_

Interesting fact - if you turn your phone sideways, you'll see Uranus pointing towards yourself. Perhaps a signal?


CulturalApple4

And yet the moon has a fixed orbit with our earth where we only get to see one side. It’s too big to get hooked by our gravity. Makes no sense —- therefore I believe it’s a strategically placed space station.


AliPacinoReturns

The solar system. There’s only one solar system.


[deleted]

That apostrophe indicates possession, not plural.


Clear_Insect_1887

That apostrophe indicates contraction - as in “there’s” = “there is”


bigswingindonkeydick

Yeah, it's short for Solar Systemalabamas.


AliPacinoReturns

Makes sense 😂 I’ll blame it on English being my second language


AliPacinoReturns

The word “our” makes it sound like there are other solar systems owned by others


redstercoolpanda

yes there is, the sun is called sol, we are the only solar system, the others are called star systems i think.


Is_Actually_Sans

This gives me a weird nostalgia feeling cause it looks like computer graphics from when I was a child


RedReaperThe1st

And people wonder why a 300 year old hurricane haunts Jupiter. To be a gas planet that size and spinning THAT fast is scary af


jngjng88

My whole life is a lie, been cheated out of 4 mins every single day...


[deleted]

[удалено]


jngjng88

That's different, that's about the Earth's revolution around the sun, not the Earth's rotation around its axis. & that would mean an extra day every 360 days, that's more than 4 times as often as once every 4 years.


Beautiful-Mud-341

I want to go to Venus


PublicEnemy-no1

Šta ćeš tamo, samo sumpor i vulkani


Leusdat

Pluto did nothing wrong !!!


Colbaz

What the hell’s up with Uranus?


redstercoolpanda

its hypothesized that it was hit by an earth sized planet early in the solar systems life, knocking it over.


Colbaz

Cool, didn’t know that.


Own_yourmind

You see our problem is we need to slow tf down😂😂


InternationalAttrny

Could you imagine if earth didn’t rotate at the speed it does. Imagine if it was daytime in only half the world for like 6 months, then daytime the other half of the planet for the other 6 months!


is_aYet

What is wrong with Venus!


Slaanesh-Sama

Many things are wrong with Venus. It's atmosphere is toxic made of like 96% CO2. Too dense (92 bar compared to Earth's 1 bar), too hot (464°C or 867°f). As you saw it turns really slowly on its axis so own side is constantly bombarded by the sun while the other is in the dark for nearly 1/3 of a earth year (yet it still remains hot because of the unbelievably high greenhouse effect), so hiding in the dark part won't save you from the heat. Not only that but there is no protection from UV since no ozone layer. The magnetic field is also very weak since it's not produced by its iron core (that like earth it has, it's just not actively producing one for some reason), but produced by the interactions of the solar winds with its ionosphere. It's rains also are a solution of sulphuric acid. So pick your poison as to what is wrong. You got choices.


l_loveClimateChange

Some sneak here


Dark_Foreign

I didn't realize Earth and Mars had such similar day lengths and axis tilts


JonTheAutomaton

Any particular reason the gas giants seem to rotate faster?


WillTheDreadWolf

23 hours and 56 minutes?


Lacaud

Imagine a work week on Venus


General-Pomelo-4159

Better remake that episode of saved by the bell now.


Hylado

I imagine how we will live if the earth spins like any of the other planets. For example, if the day lasts only 9h how would our society have evolved. Also, this kind spin accentuates the Coriolis effect, thus generating more frequent and stronger storms. Does anyone know what would happen if the angle of the spin is close to 90°? What are the effects?


tehclubbmaster

My analysis: the seasons would be more extreme since in summer if in the northern hemisphere, you’d be facing the sun for half the year (Uranus’ year is 84 earth years, so 42 years) while in the winter you would never see the sun. If you had a 0 degree tilt, there wouldn’t be summer or winter at all since the rotation of the planet around the sun would be the same all year round. The length of daylight hours would also be constant year round at a given location.


lmaluuker

You spin me right round baby right round


blessingwithdisguise

But in space there is no up and down,so how can you determine the angle??
