Learning about “Gas Giants” is one of the most disappointing things growing up

Keep Jupiters name out ya mouth cuz. It’s the GOAT and big don planet

You misspelled Saturn breh

 

[VegetasHairline]

What about Uranus?

 

[Tasha And]

Theres like a grace area above mercury and the proposal is that we float above mercury using its gases like a hot air balloon

Sounds crazy, dont know all the science behind it but theres a lot of youtube videos detailing how it would work

For Mercury? I've only heard about it for Venus with the floating cities proposal since the atmosphere of Venus has a moderate temperature.

I enjoy the variety space has to offer, including them they're basically a space version of the grand canyon, etc.

Beautiful to witness at a distance but idk about that "ground" level shyt

Jupiter and all of it's moons act as an asteroid barrier that protects Earth as well as other planets


You betta thank a gas giant

I find the gas giants more intriguing. 500 year storms bigger than earth on Jupiter, the fact that if u could put Saturn in a big enough bathtub it would float, Neptune rains diamonds, and Uranus literally smells like a fart due to the tons of hydrogen sulfide in the atmosphere

It some bizarro world shyt.

The real reason we haven’t gone to mars is because we’ve sent rovers there and there’s literally nothing there worth wasting a trip on

There's water

Your talking about Venus

Europa, titan, mars and Enceladus are going to be the only things in space worth a damn in terms of exciting discoveries. We will probably be focused on those for the next 50-60 years. The annoying part is we probably won’t discover anything ground breaking about them until the mid to late 2030’s

Even the Webb telescope has been underwhelming so far

What was up with all that “a day on saturn is like 3 days on earth” nonsense they used to talk about? Why the fukk does it matter when there’s no surface to walk on?

Like oh this gas ball rotates around the sun faster/slower than our planet, cool. Yall had us thinking we could race cars on Jupiter

Jupiter has likely saved us from several ELEs over the eons. Put some respect on his name!

| EarthSky

Jupiter's gravity slings long-period comets out of harm's way, while nudging some asteroids closer to Earth. And, in 1770, Jupiter took aim on Earth - but missed.

The entire planet is a storm
