What Would Happen If All The Planets Of The Solar System Aligned?

Показать описание
In 1609, famous astronomer Johannes Kepler published the first two of his three laws of planetary motion, which held that planets move around the sun in ellipses, not circles (as had been widely believed up to that time).
He also stated that planets speed up as they approach the sun and slow down as they move away. 

Then, in 1619, he produced his third law, which used mathematic principles to relate the time a planet takes to orbit the sun to the average distance of the planet from the sun. 

We know that Kepler was right. Planets in the solar system follow elliptical orbits, where the Sun occupies one of the two foci. 
Kepler’s research was slow to gain widespread traction during his lifetime, but it later served as a key influence on the English mathematician Sir Isaac Newton and his law of gravitational force. 

But how are the planets distributed in space? And how elliptical are their orbits?
And what would happen if all the planets suddenly aligned?

I believe the planets move around the Sun in ellipses not eclipses!

I heard you my guy. You said planets move around the sun in eclipses. I heard it.

I’d like to see Mars and Uranus in the same field of view with my binoculars…..But this video was posted 1 week after the date when this alignment took place!!

Well, I'm glad these guys aren't turning every video into a top ten list anymore, but this video really should have had a different title. Lots of information about gravity, orbits and orbital planes sandwiched around a 30 second explanation of how nothing would happen.

Didn’t they align sometime in the 80s? I was only a kid but it made the news I sort of remember

Did you guys hear that random sound at 3:05 and think there was someone downstairs breaking in?

16 seconds in… planets move in “eclipses” not circles..

Wow. Just wow.

Well, to answer the question "what would happen"? No need to wonder. They never have and they never will perfectly line up. They do occasionally line up imperfectly when they happen to all be on the same "side" of the sun. That just happened in June. Nothing happened.

You know it's ellipse and not eclipse, right?

I remember back in 1985-ish, many newspapers and magazines were predicting catastrophe due to the conjunction of 7 of the 9 planets. Up to the Earth being split into pieces. Nothing happened. Maybe a king tide or two.

I remember when I was a teenager, there was a planetary alignment in 1986, and the newspapers told the whole 9 (nine) planets aligned, and it was going to be the end of the world right there. 🤭🤭.

More accurate title "planetary orbital mechanics explained"

"what would happen.." people who like to star gaze will get to see some good sht

according to this app that simulates planets and gravity, it seems that circular orbits are caused by the satellite at one point being extremely close to the planet/star like after a small collision or “grace” where the surfaces barely touch but after that it starts orbiting away gradually creating more distance between them and the planet/star and eventually settle not too far

that’s why I believe at some point the moon had to crash with earth or at least bump into it

I think we can predict the alignments of the planets using the LCM by putting the orbital periods of the planets. The video says it happened and will happen in the future and nothing happened and happen 👍🙂

I just luv these productions. ❤

P.S But how can someone know so much?

I noticed the graphic for te AU distance for Jupiter was the same number as shown on the graphic for Mercury. The author needs to correct this.

The Fates : In 18 years precisely / The planets will align ever so nicely.

Hades : Ay, verse. Oy.

The Fates : The time to act will be at hand / Unleash the Titans, your monstrous band.

Hades : Mmm-hmm. Good, good.

The Fates : Then the once-proud Zeus will finally fall / And you, Hades, will rule all!

Hades : YES! Hades rules!

The Fates : But a word of caution to this tale...

Hades : Excuse me?

The Fates : Should Hercules fight, you will fail.
