Have you ever wondered what happens to the "perfect harmony" of your solar system when it loses a planet? For example, the planet closest to the sun is Mercury, right? Oh, it's so small! Okay, what does it look like on Earth when Mercury is gone? Hmm, nothing changes in the solar system. It all has to do with gravitational attraction. Any object that has mass attracts other objects due to its gravitational pull. The greater the mass, the greater the force. Mercury is the smallest planet in the solar system, so it's not very massive compared to the universe. But what about the other planets? https://sonnenseite.site/wunder-kurio... TIMESTAMPS: Mercury 0:29 Venus 1:15 Mars 2:04 Jupiter 2:58 Saturn 4:16 Uranus 5:02 Neptune 5:46 The Moon 6:43 #universe #planets #sunside SUMMARY: Mercury is the smallest planet in the solar system, so not very massive compared to space. At 80 million km, Mercury is definitely far away from Earth, so the gravitational pull between the two is not that great. Venus is almost the hottest planet in your solar system. A day here lasts almost 117 Earth days. There is a massive asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. And as you know, asteroids are not exactly Earth's best friends. Jupiter holds them together with its gravitational pull, but sometimes one breaks away and heads towards the sun. Mars also has gravity, and acts like a slingshot, accelerating asteroids on their way to Earth. Jupiter weighs three times more than all of its neighboring planets combined! With its gigantic gravitational pull, Jupiter has protected Earth from asteroids and other space debris for 4.5 billion years! The Sun's gravity pulls all that stuff toward the inner planets, including Earth! There will probably be some small changes to the orbits of other planets, but not for a few thousand years. Time for Saturn. You definitely won't be able to confuse it with any other planet because of its pretty rings. Science says they will one day disappear as the planet's immense gravity pulls them down in freezing rain. Uranus is also huge, the third largest planet in the solar system. Without Neptune's gravitational pull to keep things stable, the orbits overlap and all the celestial bodies crash into each other! What about the Moon? Oh, wow! What happened to the Earth's axis? It's completely out of alignment, even more so than before! The weather is suddenly going crazy - there are no more seasons and a new ice age is on the way! A day now only lasts 6 to 12 hours because there is no lunar gravitational pull to slow the Earth's rotation. There are no more lunar or solar eclipses. It looks like of all the planets in your complex solar system, only Jupiter would have a problematic effect on Earth if it disappeared. So I think it's true what they say: the solar system is in a delicate and harmonious balance!
