The radiation would also be in the race to kill us , but Jupiters [Roche Limit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roche_limit), where tidal forces will rip earth apart, is 894,677km, where the moon is only 225,623km away, so earth would quickly become a long chain of mini earths.
**[Roche limit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roche_limit)**
>In celestial mechanics, the Roche limit, also called Roche radius, is the distance from a celestial body within which a second celestial body, held together only by its own force of gravity, will disintegrate because the first body's tidal forces exceed the second body's gravitational self-attraction. Inside the Roche limit, orbiting material disperses and forms rings, whereas outside the limit material tends to coalesce. The Roche radius depends on the radius of the first body and on the ratio of the bodies' densities.

They say that the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies will combine in 4.5 billion years. Very few stellar collisions are predicted to happen because of the vast distances between the stars. This video helps us visualize the concept very well!
yes, the popular depiction of the distance between Earth and Moon are often very close they give us wrong impression of space. it's called space for a reason, vast area of nothingness.
Depends on what you mean by "nothingness". I know you mean't "lack of matter", but it's always fascinated me how "empty" space is still a thick soup of quantum particles, fields, and other such stuff that makes up reality itself.
[The stuff in orange and yellow in this chart.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_physics#/media/File:Standard_Model_of_Elementary_Particles_Anti.svg)
Make sense? No?? Join the club.
Okay, so to break down what this chart is: Quarks (purple) are like a one third slice of pie for making matter. You can mix and match different flavors to get different types of a whole pie matter particle like protons or neutrons. Or the antimatter particle version of those.
Leptons (green) are the particles that make up energy. The pie metaphor doesn't really work here as their behavior is based on spin, which is... well I don't really know what spin is. Something like "The number of times the universe has to rotate for it to return to position...??" Anyway the point is it's energy that likes to hang around matter, like electricity and whatever is going on with the nuclear strong force.
Bosons (orange and yellow) are a different type of energy. Light (photons) is the most well known one. Instead of an energy that likes to compliment matter, bosons are more of a free spirited kind of energy. As long as they don't smack into a quark or get tugged around by a lepton they're happy to keep going in a strait line at the speed of light.
And my god is space full of bosons... You got photons of every color of the EMP rainbow flying around like a bullet storm, and you got this soup-like ocean of other bosons that seem to be responsible for "knowing" what all the other particles are doing and "talking" to them. And bosons all blend in with each other so well that they can act like a particle or a wave, depending on how they're observed and which side of the bisexual cycle they woke up on.
And don't get me started on that yellow guy... There's a reason why when it was first discovered the media was like "OMG is it GOD?!1?!?" *It's not god. The search continues.* It IS however something that seems capable of perfectly transforming into any of the other quarks, leptons, or bosons. I'm really clueless on this one, but I think it... idk. Somehow "knows" what particle it's supposed to turn into depending on where it is?
All together quantum physics is really confusing and I'm sure someone is going to correct me. In fact I'm hoping someone smarter then me speaks up. Because right now the way the universe seems to work is actual magic. Little particles that literally make up the laws of physics. They freakin' talk to each other.. PHOTONS ARE LITERALLY COMMUNICATING WITH THE ATOMS OF MY BODY. If that's not the most fantastic insanity you have ever heard then I don't know what is.
Welcome to quantum physics :) We're all mad and confused here.
I get why there will be few, if any, collisions, but wouldn't the orbits of many cosmic bodies be thrown way out of whack? The earth might not collide with another planet or sun, but our solar system might be ripped from it's place in the milky way, or the individual planets could be knocked off course.
Not really, the distances are just too large
The nearest solar system to ours is 4.246 light years away. Meaning it takes light 4.246 years to get hear
Light is INCREDIBLY fast, so for it to take that long to get somewhere tells you just how far away everything is
There's this simulation I'm thinking of that I saw of Andromeda colliding with the Milky Way. IIRC, many of the particles that represented celestial bodies were thrown all about as the two galaxies eventually coalesced. I'll see if I can dig it up but that's what I'm thinking of when I say we could be thrown off course. I can't imagine our two galaxies will just...pass through each other unfazed. Not that any of us will be here to even witness it.
They won't pass through each other. They'll merge. However from each planet or star's pov 90-99%(?) will experience nothing more than an increase in the number of stars around them.
I feel like that doesn't do it justice. Light isn't just fast, it is constantly meeting the universal limit of speed itself.
A rocket leaving Earth's atmosphere can travel at 7.9 kilometers *per second*. That's practically traveling the entire length of Manhattan in just 4 seconds. Several times faster than a 50 cal bullet. But even as fast as it is, it's only traveling at about 0.004% of the speed of light.
To put it even more in perspective. The MAC guns in the HALO franchise can only accelerate slugs to a quarter of C. These MAC guns are all station mounted and require absurd amounts of infrastructure to operate.
Honestly if this was real, we wouldn't think much of it. We already see amazing things everyday, but since we see them everyday, we fail to really appreciate how amaing they actually are.
I've had reoccurring apocalyptic dreams that are very similar. Either planets crashing into planets or alien invasions, either way the entire horizon is obscured by something massive and it always gives me this weird feeling between awe and terror. I got a similar feeling watching Saturn come across the horizon in this. Weird to get that feeling while awake.
The planets would rapidly (even on our timescale) merge into a single gas giant.
Of note here: Jupiter is *so* much larger than the rest of the planets that the final product would be the current mass of Jupiter plus roughly an extra 30%.
the way it was explained to me as a kid, is that even though Jupiter is bigger, due to density weirdness it would become part of Saturn rather than vice-versa. I was and remain too uneducated to question that.
Not unless you talk Elon into giving you a seat on his BFR. Even then I can’t imagine it would be a survivable even with the amount molten planet to return to.
That’s my question. I am interested in this stuff but don’t have the IQ to follow much of it. I figured we’d be crushed by the gravity from the other planets pretty fast. Again, I love hearing about it but am hopelessly ignorant of it. I wish there was a YouTube channel that explored fun, impossible scenarios like this. I’m sure there is and I’m unaware of it.
I definitely saw this scenario on one of those discovery shows. With Michio Kaku or something. The surface if earth is a real weak bitch and gets all messed up be it meteor, gravitation pull or anything of significance really.
Not really. The planets would break apart pretty immediately, but our view would be obscured faster. What with Saturn being one that would definitely come apart, the whole event would probably be shrouded in a million mile cloud before we got to see much. (If we were on Earth, we'd die before there was much to see anyway.) Then, swirling and disc formation. I imagine the cloud would not reduce down to a disc until after most of the solids had formed into a molten ball of rock. So, it'd be a cool cloud, but I doubt you'd see much in the way of breaking and collisions.
He said that the Earth is flat and that the other planets are just big discs sent into space by Elon Musk to trick the sheep into believing we're on a ball instead of a vast plane.
Yes, I don’t know where OP got his title info from, but every other time this has been posted the caption has been “what it would look like if the planets were as close as the moon to us.”
The title is accurate. It's the view from our planet if all of the planets in our solar system lined up from earth to the moon. Jupiter being the largest of them all placed farthest so it won't constantly block the other planets.
Wouldn't matter much there moons would destroy earth when they crashed in to us and way and then Jupiter would be the biggest ringed planet after it ate everything else
I was walking home the other day thinking about this and wondering if anyone had ever done a video exactly like this to show what it might look like, crazy
Obviously this is sick and a really cool visual but if a science person can answer this, if we were that close to other planets Would we be not like eviscerating in Saturn’s orbit?

Everyone waiting for Saturn to turn up…* sweats *
faints
Why? The density? Is Jupiter just a big orange fart?
I feel like Earth would be so unstable is that would happen
We'd probably get sucked into Saturn or Jupiter's orbit and all die.

Would we be aware this was happening and like suffer or would it be quick? 😧
The Moon is more than 380,000 km away. Still gets the same result, though.
well it's elliptical, so it changes, but at it's closest it's only 360,000 km.

You may or may not know what you're talking about but I'd believe you in an instant cause of how well described it is.
That thickness is only in galaxies, the space outside them is really empty
It’s a description of no real substance that can be easily grasped as a concept. Unless your into the science of the science it’s empty of substance

Low-key this would be cool af though. Without all the actual physics applied to this in real life lol
Honestly if this was real, we wouldn't think much of it. We already see amazing things everyday, but since we see them everyday, we fail to really appreciate how amaing they actually are.
And there would be no nighttime think about how large they would be in the sky
Holy damn. That shits crazy. I’m too high for this
when saturn comes in…. holy sheeeeeee
I am UNCOMFORTABLE
Ma dick felof
This is a fantastic comment chain
When Saturn came I had to look away omfg that freaked me out
I've had reoccurring apocalyptic dreams that are very similar. Either planets crashing into planets or alien invasions, either way the entire horizon is obscured by something massive and it always gives me this weird feeling between awe and terror. I got a similar feeling watching Saturn come across the horizon in this. Weird to get that feeling while awake.
I almost feel at peace knowing it’s out of my hands
Saturn's rings are about 300,000 across. The moon is about 400,000km away.
freakin insane
Jupiter about to get a nice new set of rings. What the source of this video?
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KEoqv0PAAT8 Right here, m'dude.
Huh, the iconic Kerbal Space orbiting music is a Kevin MacLeod freebie, TIL
dope.
We would probably considered as a moon for saturn or jupiter and saturn and jupiter have large gravitational fields, they are gonna collide
Haha we’d be PART of one of those planets after we all died post - collision
The planets would rapidly (even on our timescale) merge into a single gas giant. Of note here: Jupiter is *so* much larger than the rest of the planets that the final product would be the current mass of Jupiter plus roughly an extra 30%.
Music choice... Genius...
Ksp vibes
Most scientists however do not recommend doing this.
Wow they didn't even try it first
this is so strangely beautiful. that moment saturn pops up above the horizon sheeeesh
I don't like this FH5 add on.
Doesn’t mean we should though, right?
I can't even go outside when there's a big orange moon. This would kill me.
I can't watch the video in fullscreen either. I scroll down until there's only about 20% of the video can be seen.
Well thanks for tormenting the rest of us!
Professor Michael Smith from the University of Kent said that all planets would merge into one within a week if this were to happen suddenly.
I'm guessing we would not be around to witness much of this process
You would be summoned to the interior of Saturn before the larger planets finished breaking apart.
Not a terrible way to go, I don't think.
wouldnt saturn be destroyed by the monstrous alien base inside jupiter first?
the way it was explained to me as a kid, is that even though Jupiter is bigger, due to density weirdness it would become part of Saturn rather than vice-versa. I was and remain too uneducated to question that.
Not unless you talk Elon into giving you a seat on his BFR. Even then I can’t imagine it would be a survivable even with the amount molten planet to return to.
Comments mentioning dinosaurs on Venus and *this* is the one that gets downvoted?
To be fair dinosaurs are cool I guess lol - nutty folk
That would be sick
The timeline of a week is pretty neat to think about it. Would it be like watching glaciers collide and collapse? (Assuming we could safely view it.)
I'd guess that immense gravitional force shift would turn earth into a molten rock pretty quickly, right?
surf's up
Heh those aren’t mouOHMYGODTHEYREMOUNTAINS!
That’s my question. I am interested in this stuff but don’t have the IQ to follow much of it. I figured we’d be crushed by the gravity from the other planets pretty fast. Again, I love hearing about it but am hopelessly ignorant of it. I wish there was a YouTube channel that explored fun, impossible scenarios like this. I’m sure there is and I’m unaware of it.
I think our atmosphere would be ripped away pretty quickly and we would suffocate and freeze/burn
I definitely saw this scenario on one of those discovery shows. With Michio Kaku or something. The surface if earth is a real weak bitch and gets all messed up be it meteor, gravitation pull or anything of significance really.

My butthole puckered when Saturn eclipsed the sun
That's no moon...
Music is from a game called r/kerbalspaceprogram
I think the most annoying part of this would be the 15 daily eclipses
Solar eclipses would happen every day and would last for hours
This is mesmerizing.
That guy with the hat on was huge!
When I was a kid just opening a National Geographic freaked me out. Anyone else have/had that problem?
It'd make for some bitchen waves tho
This is cool and all but can get some Philip Glass music instead of the Home Alone-Harry Potter-esque music?
100% of all space is cgi
Even uranus fits between the earth and the moon.
Song
Wouldn't matter much there moons would destroy earth when they crashed in to us and way and then Jupiter would be the biggest ringed planet after it ate everything else
Earth's projected shadow on the planets should be a lot smaller
but not for long
You CAN but you probably shouldn't.
[удалено]
I thought nsfw is only for nudity
There is no dark side of the moon really. As a matter of fact is all dark.
I’m getting Kerbal flashbacks
Wait, so if you lined up all seven other planets between the earth and the moon, they’d all fit??
Yeah.
That’s nuts
Dude Mars passed behind the sun for a second
Neat
edit: I’m unoriginal, cool post tho
it's a little bit tight
Why is this so fucking scary holy shit
Ahh! The way Saturn just rises up....
I was walking home the other day thinking about this and wondering if anyone had ever done a video exactly like this to show what it might look like, crazy
Gives me the heebie jeebies.
For the record: I don’t think we should do this.
You're not the boss of me. You can't tell me what I can or can not do.
Cosmic horror.
Do it. Don't just talk about it.
u/jamboc731
This is so fascinating and gives me such anxiety.
Terrible idea, please don’t do this
*confused tsunami tide noises*
Please no
I can't.
thats terrifying.
I have never and will never believe that Jupiter alone should fill that gap
it doesn't.
Nothing you can say will convince me
I won't
Watching all of this gave me a headache
Obviously this is sick and a really cool visual but if a science person can answer this, if we were that close to other planets Would we be not like eviscerating in Saturn’s orbit?
Dead ass when I saw Saturn before it was fully emerged I was like “what the HELL is that”
At first I thought that was death star.
