Jupiter freaks me the heck out

Always with the side-eye, Jupiter.

Wait ! Why not Pluto! Just for old times sake!

We would have massive earthquakes and volcano eruptions all the time. And tidalwaves covering half the continents.

Fun fact, uranium was named after the planet Uranus.

Poor Mercury. It's actually a full planet and still got erased.

Why the hell does this need commentary
JEMbalaya
I'm honestly surprised how small Jupiter was. Jupiter is SO much larger than Earth, I figured it would fill the entire sky
IHateEditedBgMusic
What about the sun?
Mou5e
You'd be inside the sun.
paperfanman
The earth would be within Saturns rings
johnbaz
How big would Earth look if it was 250,000 miles away??
EyeMaMeatPopsical
Similar to Venus
Thank you ?

I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Uranus. That's King George.

Is this measured from the axis, or just the average distance of the moon (surface yo surface) in a lunar cycle?

That would be so cool@if Saturn were that close
jayrayspicer
Was expecting Uranus to look a little more, I dunno, puckery, I guess.
W0b0
And all those planets can fit between earth n moon
ToasterDent
Hmm, so you could walk to the moon across the planets!
colorfuel
That was more interesting to know than the gif. Thanks.
AgainstMethod
Yes, but only very briefly.
VaultGirl69
That can't be right. Jupiter would be waaaay bigger, I'd think.
darsfog
Jupiter has a radius of 43,441miles. The moon, on average is about 238,900 miles away from earth.
? Thank you. I'm pretty useless on the weekend. In my defense, I do bust my ass at work. ?
whatsisname
No, it would be about the size of a basketball at arms length. Big, but hardly sky filling. Jupiter is big, but the moon is a long way away.
Well, there that is then. ☺
acommontroll
Jupiter and Saturn would scare me for the few seconds I would be alive
Shittenbox
I hear you JoJo's Season 2 theme song.
WellThatsOriginal
Uranus is quite large, OP
Onoratha
I prefer the orginal name of George
justanotherwhiteman
Large enough to envelope earth if it were close as the moon?
shibbytothelibby
You could fit every planet in the solar system between the earth and the moon.

They don't call Uranus a gas giant for nothing!

I'm sorry but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all. It's called Urectum now.
Oh that is a good one!

me, for nearly all of these:
Muwahaha
Wouldn’t the gravity be thrown off if jupiter was that close?
myeyesthegogglesdonothing
Yes, but everything would be different with anything but the moon there
blerg5572
Good thing this is just hypothetical
Shewy92
We'd be fried due to the radiation Jupiter emits too
aChungusAmongUs
We’d be fucked
PeeterGrant
Tides would be a little different!
Well, I'm not an astronomer... so I'll stay out of it.
DooksandPooks
Ah yes, to be in the loving embrace of Jupiter as it slowly spins us through the endless void of the cosmos, what a dream it would be indeed
Kbantar
Tidal forces would be horrific setting off all volcanoes turning the Earth into something akin Io, I think.
[deleted]
I checked before posting. We would be outside Jupiter's roche limit. Earth would be a mess, but not literally torn apart, I think.
NaughtButOne
Huh. It looks like Jupiter's density is too low to do so. I didn't even know density played a factor, but it makes sense. Neat, thanks!
geoffreyfourmyle
We'd be fucked if *any* of the other planets were that close. Tides, orbit, you name it -- all affected by gravity.
justakonsept
We would probably be orbiting it like a moon.
MrE158
More likely Earth would be torn apart before getting anywhere near that close, and bits of us would be raining into Jupiter.
Ooo but you probably mean tidally, my bad, what an interesting thought!
erikleorga
I was just thinking we'd be the moon once something bigger was nearby.
And be fried with radiation
TK421isAFK
Probably wouldn't be a stable orbit. Jupiter's largest moon (Ganymede) is about 1/3 the diameter of Earth, and its orbit is 3 times the 1/2
distance as our moon is from Earth. If the mass of the Earth was 3 times closer to Jupiter as Ganymede, I think we'd be quickly drawn in.2/2
InnerBushman
Basically the world from Avatar movie type scenario
MaelstromSama
You would be about 9% lighter if you were on the side of the earth closest to Jupiter and about 8% heavier on the other side.
BSL3pipettingmonkey
Same thing will happen with time
PARANO1A
I'm not fat, Jupiter's close by right now, that's all
MCNewYorkLives
More like "I'm not fat, just can't see Jupiter"
StillNotYouTube
So does this happen with the moon and sun too? Just insignificant? I know about tides, just never thought about weight.
It sure does! In the case of the moon, it causes your weight to vary by about a thousandth of one percent.
Coyotebd
Felt a little fatter this morning
Yukon5280
Would that mean the earth would be tidally locked?
I don't know how long it would take, but I think that would almost certainly be the outcome.
MostLikelyNotWearingPants
I’m going to accept your math and just add….
Yep, I'm a nerd and proud of it!
ckmnstr
If jupiter was that close, we'd be orbiting it
Only if we were moving fast enough.
Mithi
And we would die either by radiation or by the earthquakes Jove causes by kneading the Earth like playdough.

fknbastard
But Mercury didn’t forget…and Mercury would make them remember
tomatoboy
It’s close enough in size to the moon to make the comparison pretty invisible. 4,879 km (3031.67 mi) vs 3,474 km (2158.64 mi).
Those several hundred miles sound like a lot, percentage wise, but visually it’s really not a huge difference at that perceived size…
…in the sky.
smarterthansnakemittens
Mercury nervous after what they did to Pluto.
LordHosk
Its been 15 years... at some point you all are going to have to accept that things you learned in Science class... is often wrong.
Wait till you find out about not having "taste zones" on your tongue, that Rosa Parks was actively protesting looking for a fight, and more
solmazer
To be fair, Mercury is about the same size as the Moon. It would be a wasted view.
iamalreadyaghost
You’re right. I for one am thankful for saving me 3 seconds while browsing imgur. :-)
danimals847
How did Mercury even get spotted or named a planet?
Mercury can be seen with the naked eye just after dusk/ before sunrise. The ancients knew it was a moving object like the other planets.
