minus-squareReddfugee42@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·6 months agoAlways time for one of my favorite fun facts: The moon is so far away from the earth that all the planets in the solar system could fit between the earth and the moon. I mean, not for long, but it would be worth it.
minus-squareMatch!!linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·6 months agoThe interesting part is that it would be kind of a close fit, astronomically speaking
minus-squareJohanno@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·6 months agoHold on a second. You can fit Jupiter and Uranus in there? WTF?! I have to check this.
minus-squareJohanno@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·edit-26 months agoOk shortest distance earth moon surface: 340 000 km. Diameter Jupiter: 143 000 km Diameter Uranus: 51 000 km Diameter Neptun: 49 500 km Venus: 12 000 km Mars: 6 800 km Mercury: 4 800 km Earth: 12 800 km Damn I even can fit an another earth in there and it is still plenty of space
minus-squareCavemanfreak@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·6 months agoIs 116 500 km, so we’re missing the mark with a little more than 43 000 km.
minus-squareJohanno@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·6 months agoWell 340 is the shortest distance of the orbit
minus-squareCavemanfreak@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·6 months agoTrue! But that was also what you used 😜 I looked up the average distance though, which seems to be 385 000 km. Which means we would fit everyone with about 2 000 km to spare 😃
