Oscar loved this video, so an extra 👍 from him.
Oscar is my 350, 000, 000 year old ammonite fossil and he hangs on my living room wall.
He got quite emotional, muttering about it "was just like old times".
Nostalgic old bugger, he is.

Your videos are very interesting but also very terrifying at the same time!

The sarcastic "Yay" near the end cracked me up. I laughed so long I had to replay the end of the video. Outstanding work again Simon. Love the job your Top Tenz team has done. Can't wait till you hit 1 million subs, you deserve it!!!!

After visiting Colorado Springs and seeing Pike's Peak, that's incredible to think that the earth would be smooth enough to be a pool ball. I thought Pike's Peak was impressive and big, and it's not even comparable to a mountain like Mount Everest. (Pike's Peak is also the only mountain that I've seen too, so yeah...)

Your mass wouldn't change between the equator and north pole, your weight would. In Newtons not lbs.

I fail to understand why so many people appear incapable of appreciating the outrageous beauty of our planet.

We used up helium one of the world's most precious resources on making ballons that float and to make our voices sound squeaky lol, I love it

What about the flow in our core as cooler stuff sinks and hotter stuff rises? I imagine that makes a sound and I'd call that our planet's heartbeat before lightning.

[agerven]

Very interesting top 10 on our favorite, amazing planet. Lets cherish it!
Should I, by any change, be in a knowledge quiz and be in need of a help-line, I'll call the Whistler. Thank you Simon, and your collegues at top tenz.

Earth Venus and Mars may have had the exact same atmospheric pressures and atmospheric composition a few billion years ago.
