Ringkasan

TLDRThe video explores the actual size of the moon, noting that it appears small but is significantly large in reality, with a surface area comparable to several major land masses combined. It is the largest moon relative to its planet in the solar system, and fifth in overall size. The distance to the moon makes it seem small; it is approximately 36000 km away from Earth, making travel to it quite lengthy, even by modern methods.

Takeaways

  • 🌕 The moon is huge in size, comparable to entire continents!
  • 🌍 Its surface area equals Europe, China, the USA, Brazil, and South Africa combined.
  • ⚖️ The moon's mass is 1/81th of Earth's mass.
  • 🪐 It's the largest moon in the solar system relative to its planet.
  • ✈️ A flight to the moon would take a 747 about 28 days.
  • 🚀 With current technology, reaching the moon would take about two days.
  • 🛣️ A car trip would also require a significant amount of time to reach the moon.
  • 📅 Look forward to new moon videos every Monday in May!

    The moon appears small in the night sky, but it is actually quite large, with a surface area comparable to entire continents like Europe, China, the USA, Brazil, and South Africa combined. It weighs about 1/81th of Earth's mass, making it the largest moon in relation to its planet in the solar system, and the fifth largest overall, larger than the dwarf planet Pluto. Despite its size, the moon is very far away; a 747 would take 28 days to reach it, and even modern technology would require two days for the journey. Essentially, while the moon's visual size is deceiving, its actual dimensions are significant.

    How big is the moon?
  • 00:00:02
    In the night sky the moon seems rather small, but in reality it really isn't.
  • 00:00:07
    Central Europe would easily fit under it.
  • 00:00:10
    The surface area of the moon is huge.
  • 00:00:13
    To give you some perspective, it's as big as the whole European continent, China, the USA, Brazil, and South Africa together.
  • 00:00:21
    Weight-wise, the moon is only about 1/81th of the mass of Earth,
  • 00:00:25
    but how big is it in relation to Earth?
  • 00:00:28
    Quite big actually, our moon is the biggest in the solar system in relation to its planet,
  • 00:00:33
    and it's the fifth largest moon in the solar system. Quite a bit bigger than the dwarf planet Pluto.
  • 00:00:39
    Now if the moon is really that huge, how far away is it from us to seem this small in the night sky?
  • 00:00:47
    370 km, as far as the ISS maybe? No. At that distance, gravitational forces would rip the moon apart.
  • 00:00:56
    At 36000 km, it would be as far away as our most distant satellite.
  • 00:01:01
    Let's adjust the distance to reality. Pretty far away, right?
  • 00:01:05
    A 747 would need 28 straight days to fly to the moon, and even with our current technology, we'd need two full days.
  • 00:01:14
    And in a car, a lot of time. So how big is the moon?
  • 00:01:20
    Well, it kind of depends how you define "big"; but seriously though, it's pretty big.
  • 00:01:29
    Hey Youtube, we'll try something new this month, Mo(o)n May. One video about cool moon stuff each Monday in May.
  • 00:01:36
    So, see you next week!
