minus-squareReddfugee42@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·1 month 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-squareJohanno@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 month agoHold on a second. You can fit Jupiter and Uranus in there? WTF?! I have to check this.
minus-squareJohanno@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·edit-21 month 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-up4·1 month agoIs 116 500 km, so we’re missing the mark with a little more than 43 000 km.
minus-squareJohanno@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 month agoWell 340 is the shortest distance of the orbit
minus-squareCavemanfreak@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 month 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 😃
minus-squareMatch!!@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 month agoThe interesting part is that it would be kind of a close fit, astronomically speaking
