Scientists Simulate Rain on Other Planets And Find a Few Surprises

Hello and welcome! My name is Anton and in this video, we will talk about the types of raindrops on different planets

As for you question about "glass rain", I think it would be a pane.

[frankowalker]

"What's the weather like ?"
"It's glassing down."

[louiszalvino]

I would belive that the rain drop sizes depend mainly on the gravity of the object thats pulling on it. The less gravity there is the more time they have to collect together with less pulling it apart. However without enough gravity there wouldn't be enough pressure to keep it from floating away

[flyshacker]

You should come out with a line of UMBRELLAS for each kind of rain! Glass, iron, etc. Real moneymaker for wonderful persons!

Nicely done there Anton xD It would be super interesting to see any drone footage of rain from other celestial bodies!

13:49 - And we get a small glance into your mind, Anton. 👍😏

[NoSTs]

extremely interesting topic.
I was reading a paper about almost the same one week ago.

[ruiner]

Aw man! If there's a planet that rains chocolate, send me there on a peanut ship and I'll create a peanut butter island and live in paradise. Send cookies often.

I'd love to see another study, but focusing on precipitation in general, especially other forms of precipitation such as snow, hail, diamond dust and megacryometeors.

[jedidrummerjake]

Thank you, Anton! You're the best!

[MrFlottgote]

Wow. I haven't experienced a popularizer of science dive into the subject of rain since redaing Guy Murchie's Song of the Sky (1954). I love it! Keep up the fantastic work, Anton.

[graemebrumfitt]

And rain drops keep falling on my head! Milk or dark chocolate? TFS, GB :)

[ds_the_rn]

Anton, how far in advance do you film your videos? Thanks for putting so many vids out so regularly!

[hahahahaa]

Hello Anton.
I always look forward to your opening. 😁

Drop size on earth is mainly due to updrafts in storms, which ould suggest that a gas giant would have the largest drops due to the insane wind speeds

The 6th planet of trappist might the best combination of coincidences that might make it habitable . The tugging from number 7 . Creating right amount of volcanism for co2 for distance . Tidle locking protecting other side . .all though still don't think human habitable. Hydrogen sulfide atmospher

[sprungmonkeyinches]

I would wonder if Boyle's law should have some sort of correlation with droplet sizes. i'd love to see a step by step comparison of drop sizes with the mass dimensions of gases or fluids (if u can compare fluids with mass and boyles law) . ur comparison didn't include venus, but it would probably be "same same" as earth's data.

[johndonson]

It's a rainy night in Georgia, or so I've heard.

[blackchallis]

Raindrops keep falling through my head

Getting lava hot enough to become as viscous as water. On another note, i was wondering if material like rock would be affected by pressure to induce phase change, such as boiling water at room temperature. Could you get cool lava and possibly lava vapor?
