Visualization of the velocities required to escape Solar System bodies

This animation shows a rocket launch exactly at the escape velocity of each pictured Solar System body, from the surface of each object up to 50 kilometers. This assumes no air resistance and includes gravity pulling down, although that's a fairly negligible contribution.

I identify with Ceres on a spiritual level, honestly.
Ceres is just chillin', man. Literally (because of its lack of atmosphere and inability to trap heat from the Sun) AND metaphorically lol.

It's all about the journey, Ceres. You keep up the great work, little buddy. I feel even more grateful now that we were able to visit you with a spacecraft, and give you the honors of being the first dwarf planet ever visited by humanity. _ROCK_ on, Ceres, and remember, you're still by FAR the biggest kid on your block (aka the main asteroid belt)!!!!
😂🔥😎

For those who don't get it, the video is about the time required to reach a distance of 50 km at their respective escape velocities.

c'mon Ceres, we haven't got all day

[WilliamDearthwd]

To calculate escape velocity, the formula is.

(GM/R)^(½)

G is the Gravitational Constant.
M is mass.
R is distance from the core.

I calculated the escape velocity of a neutron star is about ½ the speed of light.

I dont get it, does ceres has more gravitational pull than the sun itself? what? or is it the other way around, that you could very easily get off ceres? what is ceres made of? black holes?

معلومة مفيدة بفضل علمكم المذهل انتم تستحقون الاحترام

[WilliamDearthwd]

And there are celestial bodies that have such low gravity, jumping will make you reach the escape velocity.

[ProbablyVoodoo]

This is cool. Clearly at a peak of about 90mph, even on Ceres a human couldn't throw anything vertically to reach escape velocity. Can you generate a video which shows how far something will travel when thrown at 90mph at the equator?

[germanosp]

I didnt got the logic, why is more hard to get out from a lower gravity body than a havier?

[infinitemonkey]

Would planets with a lower surface gravity than Earth, like Uranus and Saturn, require less velocity to reach it's boundary of space ?

Experiment on what happens with the same mass and the same force. So to speak, experiment with a rocket of the same performance.
I don't koow...

Top right: _green = final_
I think i'm colourblind.

[PedroBlazeArt]

So technically you could escape Ceres if you fart too hard.

[matthiasjalliffier-verne]

Then I do not understand anything at all !. The more gravity "the planet" has, the more easily we can escape !!! It should be the opposite !!!, right ??
