So you think the Earth is big huh?

Whoops you were right, put Venus instead of mars and viceversa. As for diameter I think Mars is about twice as small as Earth. But I think Mars has actually more mass than both.

Twice as small makes my head hurt.

How can people get the size of Earth compared to the other planets in the Solar System wrong?

There's a picture on the first page of this thread.

I know..and even then it's just weird.

I don't think I'd have been able to distinguish if you'd ask me the difference between Earth and Venus... But since I'd just seen the picture, I would.

I've got the whole world in my hand, got the whole wide world in my hand!
Ok, I have big hands, but...... It's a small world after all, it's a small small world

Seriously now, what the hell is this about?

Yeah...what?

i had never heard of arcturus, beletgeuse, antares etc.

because of this, lana has lost faith in humanity, for some reason

I love this thread. And I particularly love how pretentious some people can be. Interesting!

Anyway, cool thread idea. Visual representation of things is far more effective when talking about how tiny we are.

It kind of makes you think why would a ''God'' want to worry about a planet so shockingly insignificant.

Wow, youranus is huge!

Or is there even a god?

You will weigh less on a smaller planet, so on both Mars and Mercury you will weigh less, but on Jupiter, you will weigh a lot more.

I thought it had to do with the gravitational pull, and Mercury has the strongest............Am I wrong?

greater mass=greater gravity

and the planets greater to the Sun???

[edit] WOW.........I'm like so wrong, imagine that............how far fetched is that?

To find what you would weigh in the gravitational field of another planet, multiply your weight on Earth times the gravitation factor listed in the table below.

Example: I weigh 90 pounds on Earth. On Mercury, I would weigh:

90 pounds X 0.38 = 34.2 pounds

On Neptune, I would weigh:

90 pounds X 1.12 = 100.8 pounds

I bow down, but not too down.........

I thought Pluto, was no longer considered a planet???
