Planet Earth is Tiny

[Ball Lightning]

Ever wondered about just how small Earth is? Well here is a quick documentary i made showing just how tiny Earth is.

Feedback is most welcome.

This sort of puts things in perspective.

some grammar errors (in one of millions of galaxies). also, world population is now closer to 7 billions than 6.

nice work though & beautiful music.

Sorry about thatCan't do much to fix it now.

also, world population is now closer to 7 billions than 6.

I know, but people still refer all the time to 6 billion so i used that.

nice work though & beautiful music

Thanks

Jupiter = 300 earths?

I"m sure you could fit a lot more Earhts in Jupiter than that.

You could fit more in, but i was going on by mass, and as Jupiter is alot of gas... and gas is lighter then rock..

And even tinier are your stupid human brains.

You laugh now, but there will come a time when the mass of human brains is larger than the mass of Earth.

The moon is much more massive the 1/100 of the earth.

It's an 80th IIRC. It's nowhere near as dense as the Earth.

If you really want to make a point of how small the Earth is, going by size would be far more effective.

Last frame should compare KY to Antares for consistency.

 

[brennan]

Interesting I guess KY Cygni is about ready to pop.

And it's all made from particles even tinier.

Errr, I haven't done the maths but we would have to live on every planet in the galaxy for there to be enough room for that to happen.

You haven't done the maths!


Nice pics, Cutlass. No matter how many times I see the scales, they still look as totally incomprehensible as the first time I've seen 'em.
