The Solar System to scale

After Effects Tips & Treats - by Julien Schickel

The whole Solar System. Real Size. Real Scale. Real Time. Or about so...
-----
My 7 years old son asks me to do a space video, showing the "real" sizes of the Solar System.
While trying, I realize that it is actually impossible to show the System truly to scale, respecting sizes, distances, and times. That is something I've never realized so far.
I then started to change the video from "making a real size Solar System" to "explaining why it is impossible to make a real size Solar System."
So, here is the result!
-----
I made the video only on After Effects, using only surface pictures of the planets. If you're interested in a tutorial on how to do this kind of video, please ask for it in the comments.
Music by Bruno Delouzillière : / sets

French version here: • Le Système Solaire à l...
-
Lors of comments ask about the time scale of the last part of the video. It is indeed km/h, but at a Time scale of 1 day = 2 seconds.

This is by FAR the BEST solar system video that I have EVER seen, including the one that I have seen at the planetarium when I was a kid! I am totally astounded by the quality and accuracy of this video. I wonder if you are going to do more about the galaxy and then possibly the universe, I think that those would be mind-blowing, but I am sure it will take quite some time to actually produce them!

Really? It's full of mistakes. First off: Venus is shown rotating far faster than its solar orbit , when they are actually almost the same with Venus having a day longer than it's year. The stuff about mercury orbiting so much faster than Neptune doesn't correlate to the image shown. Why does mercury speed up and Neptune slow down?

@TheSpacePlaceYT Жыл бұрын

@@listerofsmeg884 The first point makes a bit of sense but it wasn't intended to be perfect. The second point literally explains itself. Mercury orbits so much faster than Neptune, so consequently, Mercury would speed up and Neptune would slow down when comparing the traditional model with a model depicting time correctly. "Full of mistakes" is not what I would call it. Your comment has more mistakes than the video, so stop acting like you know what you're talking about.

There's another great video by ogniank, "Riding Light", with real-time speed of light traverse through the solar system. If it was shown in this video, you'd only reach the earth. It's 45 minutes long, and only reaches Jupiter. If it carried out to Neptune, you'd have to watch a 4.5 hour video, with almost nothing in it. To Voyager, would be a 22-hour video, which has reached the boundary of solar radiation; the true end of the system.

You can clearly see that from the inner four planets, the sun looks quite large with a certain extention, but from the outer planets (Jupiter and beyond), the sun looks just like a distant star at the night sky. By the way, the music strongly resembles the orchestra style of famous film composer John Barry, especially at 5:50 and later. It could e.g. be from the thriller "Body Heat" (1981) starring Kathleen Turner and William Hurt. Or, more known, from the 007 movie "Moonraker" (1979).

The eight planets in our Solar System, in order from the Sun, are the four terrestrial planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, followed by the two gas giants Jupiter and Saturn, and the ice giants Uranus and Neptune. These are the eight planets of our Solar System; however, there is a ninth, or at least, there used to be a ninth planet, namely Pluto. Pluto was considered the ninth planet of our Solar System until 2006, when it was declassified to a dwarf planet.

I've seen a lot of videos comparing sizes of planets, but I don't think anything can capture the reality of just how small we are like distance can. The sheer distance from the Sun to Eris is nuts, and the fact that our little blue world is a tiny speck somewhere within that distance is rather humbling. In the grand scale of the universe, we really are quite insignificant.

In that sense, the "flight" between planets is actually way faster than the speed of light. For instance, the distance from Earth to Jupiter is 39 light minutes and 32 light seconds. I guess that strolling the solar system at warp speed is a bonus.
