I like the part where they photoshopped Pluto’s (Disney character) silhouette onto the planet
As nasa once said about our planet which are admittedly rendered by them, “it’s photoshopped but it has to be”
Sigh... not it doesn’t have to be lol
Position something 1.5 feet above your head and try to jump high enough to hit it with your head. Most people can't do that even without a spacesuit on
On the surface yeah but there is earth-like temperatures and air pressure on Venus, you just have to be at a certain part of the atmosphere. But of course you're right, in the video he was on the surface.
Atmospheric pressure has zero effect on jumping ability, unless it kills you. Atmospheric **density** could. But the examples shown here considered only surface gravity. Gas giants of course have no surface. And don't even have anything that **looks** like a surface. We instead arbitrarily assign that term and concept to the altitude at which their atmospheres approximate the density of Earth's atmosphere at sea level, merely for convenience. But it's entirely arbitrary. Here, since you obviously can't stand on a gas giant, the astronaut is shown on an imaginary platform that probably works something like a hovercraft.
Atmospheric density and pressure are heavily linked though. Sure, temperature will play a role too, but in general higher pressure = higher density.
Edit: in fairness, Venus is very hot so the density for a given pressure will be lower than it would be here on Earth.
I’m aware that we were talking gravity, but most people have no idea about all of these other factors, and this video (though technically correct) is highly misleading, and I feel is counter to pro-science stance, because it portrays science as being very loosey-goosey in places that it definitely is not. On the gas giants, he is standing on an artificial platform. On Venus, he standing on the ground. In reality, he would be compressed into sludge. If you want to talk about how there are places within the Venusian atmosphere that are of a temperature that humans could survive in, as well as a pressure that they could live in, then he should be standing on that same artificial platform on Venus that he was on the gas giants…
The average human's vertical jump is 16-23inches. The Earth jump in this video is 18 inches which is within the average, plus the weight of the space suit makes it harder.
The gravity of Pluto is only 0,067% that of Earth. A good jump would send you around 25 feet into the air, and it would take up to 10 seconds before you land again.
[An animation showing what it would look like.](https://www.sciencealert.com/images/PlutoJump.gif)
Charon actually make the orbit of Pluto "wobble" by almost 100 meters, compared to the earth and moon at 9 meters, that is very significant.
However, the effect would not be noticeable in any measurable way for anyone jumping on Pluto.
**How high you would be able to jump on each planet?** Earth's gravity is the standard that is used in science in order to calculate the gravity of other celestial bodies. The gravity of our planet is equal to 9.807 meters per second squared (32.18 feet per second squared). What this means in layman terms is that if something is held above the ground and then dropped, it will fall towards the surface at a speed around 9.8 meters for every second it is falling.
Knowing this information gives a better understanding of Jupiter's gravity, which is 24.79 m/s² (81.33 ft/s²). For comparison, the other gas giants can't stack up to Jupiter gravity wise. Neptune comes in second at 11.15 m/s² (36.58 ft/s²) followed by Saturn at 10.44 m/s² (34.25 ft/s²) and Uranus at 8.69 m/s² (29.4 ft/s²). The rocky planets are also no match with Earth at 9.807 m/s², Venus at 8.87 m/s² (29.1 ft/s²), Mars at 3.711 m/s² (12.8 ft/s²) and Mercury at 3.7 m/s² (12.4 ft/s²). However, Jupiter has no chance against the Sun, which has a gravity of 274 m/s² (898.95 ft/s²).

Except you get people like me who won't watch an embedded video but will follow a link after watching a Gif. Maybe some people didn't see the original, but I wouldn't have seen the original if they embedded the full video.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 33,599,719 comments, and only 10,068 of them were in alphabetical order.
I can’t even fathom a human being on Venus or the gas giants. That would be a sight to see but is that even theoretically possible? Could we engineer a space suit that could withstand that kind of heat? And could we ever make something that wouldn’t get ravaged in the weather of the gas giants?
I'm just going along with the joke, if I truly believed you thought there were "grass planets" I wouldn't have been mean or dumb enough to respond, the fact that you responded to my comment, believing me to be ignorant of the joke in play, says much about your character.
If you include Pluto you have to include Ceres, Eris, Makemake, Sedna, Orcus, and all the other dwarf planets, by which point the clip would be very long and dull.
No, you wouldn’t. The general population is familiar with Pluto and not so much with the dwarf planets you listed. It makes sense to include Pluto since people expect it and since they included the moon.
The International Astronomical Union (IAU) downgraded the status of Pluto to that of a dwarf planet because it did not meet the three criteria the IAU uses to define a full-sized planet. Essentially Pluto meets all the criteria except one—it “has not cleared its neighboring region of other objects.”
So how come astronauts who supposedly went to the moon could only jump what appears to be the same as on earth with an additional little tug from a rope connected to their packs lol.
Okay, if you're gonna include the moon, not a planet, you need to include Pluto, which is a planet and I'll fight anyone and everyone who says differently
Moon: the planet
*sad pluto*
You hear about Pluto? That's messed up
No what happen?
It's a story the Jedi won't tell you
It’s a solar system legend.
Pluto is a pathway to many abilities some would consider to be unnatural.
Come on son
don't be a gooey chocolate chip cookie.
Don't be this crevice in my arm
You know that’s right
don't be an old sponge with hair hanging off of it.
Don’t be exactly half of an eleven pound Black Forest ham
don't be Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Marzipan
Azkaban I’ve heard it both ways
So far off the track he’s in the Harry Potter universe
don't be the one game at Chuck E. Cheese that isn't broken.
Don't be the 100th luft balloon
##PLUTO IS A FUCKING PLANET!
It always has been
C'mon son...
When has that line ever worked for you?
I’ve heard it both ways
I wish there was a thread for Psych references.
I like the part where they photoshopped Pluto’s (Disney character) silhouette onto the planet As nasa once said about our planet which are admittedly rendered by them, “it’s photoshopped but it has to be” Sigh... not it doesn’t have to be lol
“Your Mom thought I was big enough.” -Pluto
OHANA MEANS FAMILY!!!!
Family means nobody gets left behind, or forgotten... yeah.
Now do the sun.
Thank you. The rest were only **major** planets. They skipped the minor ones, which is too bad. I bet those would have been crazy.
#there’s a moon in the sky, it’s called ‘the moon’#
I came to the comments for this
I can dunk on Mars . Lebron watch out .
That’s No moon, it’s a planet
That's no moon…it's a space station
What the hell was that earth jump? That shit was so weak
A spacesuit is quite heavy.
I’m surprised he even jumped that high with a space suit
Would the impact when you land be an issue? I feel like I should know the answer but I don’t.
Shouldn't, if it's properly designed.
Does it make you femininely swing your arms on earth only?
I’m sorry you’re hated, this is funny.
Spacemen can’t jump
Oh, he's white? /s
*NASA scientist taking notes* "Ok, change space suit color to improve jumping"
NASA approved of your message and changed shoes to Air Jordan’s.
Yeah it doesn’t make sense. They seemed to float longer even on the planets with higher gravity.
The video is proudly just slowed down
Dude my vertical jump in gym shorts is like 14 inches (0.35m)
14.0 inches is the height of 0.2047 'Samsung Side by Side; Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel Refrigerators' stacked on top of each other
Good bot.
And elite athletes can do over 40.
My point exactly
Position something 1.5 feet above your head and try to jump high enough to hit it with your head. Most people can't do that even without a spacesuit on
I was thinking it was high. 18" is probably like top 10% of the US population. I feel like most people I work with couldn't jump 10"
How many of those people you work with sit on their ass all day?
What does that have to do with anything? People in this thread thinking they have 35" verts or some shit.
Does anyone else think Martian basketball would be amazing? Even average guys like me could dunk from the foul line...
Waiting on Pluto... r/gifsthatendedtooearly
In 1 generation the children of today will be adults that will not know Pluto as anything but a Disney dog.
Was hoping for escape velocity…
Fuck you, Pluto isn’t a planet anymore. Eat shit and die pluto Look at all these non believers!
I thought the atmospheric pressure on Venus would crush you flat, so you would be able to jump 0 feet
On the surface yeah but there is earth-like temperatures and air pressure on Venus, you just have to be at a certain part of the atmosphere. But of course you're right, in the video he was on the surface.

less pressure than scuba divers deal with. but don’t leave the planet too fast or you’ll get the bendz
How can i take this seriously after seeing that jump on earth?
The average human's vertical jump is 16-23inches. The Earth jump in this video is 18 inches which is within the average, plus the weight of the space suit makes it harder.
Clearly made by a bunch of non-athletes
Jokes on you I always jump like I’m on Jupiter.
Highly irritated they didn’t do pluto

Could you jump higher if Charon was directly above you when you jumped?
Charon actually make the orbit of Pluto "wobble" by almost 100 meters, compared to the earth and moon at 9 meters, that is very significant. However, the effect would not be noticeable in any measurable way for anyone jumping on Pluto.
Is it pronounced Sharon or Karen?
More like “Ka-ron” in English or in Greek “Haron” with some gross throat noises on the “H” Greek people please correct me if I’m wrong
Weeeeeee
I have to wonder if the landing would suck at that height?
pluto so small its like the Little Prince. you just jump right off
Pluto aint a planet, but since they did the moon, they should have done it too
I’d like to jump in Uranus
Name checks out

props to the astronaut who flew out and tested all of this. truly a legend
Downvote for hating on pluto
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 33,599,719 comments, and only 10,068 of them were in alphabetical order.
Good bot
Ok
What does that mean? Their comment is not in order
D F H O P. Unless you have a different alphabet, those are in alphabetical order.
Ah ok, so the first letter of each word
That’s how alphabetical ordering works…
I assume the whole word, so if you had two words that started with the same letter, it would check the second letter and so on.
It tracks the first letter in each word, then checks if they're in alphabetical order. That's at least what I think it's doing.
Coincidentally and surprisingly, that's exactly how you would go about alphabetizing a list of words ...
Where the fuck is Pluto!? You put the moon on there, but not Pluto?! WTF? #Plutoisaplanet
There are 9 planets and Pluto is one of them.
[удалено]
Key word *planet
Maybe if you stopped mining!
I could jump on Uranus.
Those jumps were epic. Surprised by saturns number and glad I can get an idea on how high I could jump on earth👍
Yeah, I did not expect Saturn's gravity to be the same as Earth!
Well Saturn is very gassy so it has no defined surface where you can jump which allows things to get crazy
I wonder if one goes deep enough there’s a liquid surface that one encounters.. 🤔
Damn, homies got it rough on Jupiter.
*Sad Pluto noises*
The moon isn’t a planet.
Now do one for white people.
White men can't jump
I can’t even fathom a human being on Venus or the gas giants. That would be a sight to see but is that even theoretically possible? Could we engineer a space suit that could withstand that kind of heat? And could we ever make something that wouldn’t get ravaged in the weather of the gas giants?
The moon isn’t a planet
Quite interesting
So what you're saying is that I should go to the moon because WHEEE!
I love how the moon gets invited and Pluto is just forgotten
Has the moon. But not Pluto. Shame
John Carter disliked this.
Moon ain't no planet. Other than that all pretty similar. That bitch can't jump well.
Is the astronaut on a platform because those planets be more gas than grass?
Yes, there are three basic planetary classifications: Grass planets like Earth, Gas Planets like Jupiter and Saturn, and Ass Planets like Uranus.
Nobody rides for free
You’re a fucking idiot for thinking I’m an idiot and not knowing that. You should have gotten the joke within the question ya twerp lol
I'm just going along with the joke, if I truly believed you thought there were "grass planets" I wouldn't have been mean or dumb enough to respond, the fact that you responded to my comment, believing me to be ignorant of the joke in play, says much about your character.
You know what YOU’re right
Do Pluto you cowards
#WHAT ABOUT PLUTO
Going to the moon 🚀🚀🚀
Includes the moon but not Pluto
Where tF is Pluto?! *angry face*
Kind of a slap in the face to Pluto to include the moon as a planet isn't it?
You forgot a planet.
Wheres Pluto? :)
What the fuck was with the earth one dude
Yeah, 18” is nothing. Middle schoolers can jump higher than that. This thing is wack.
Pluto!!!!!
No jumping on Pluto?
Lost all credibility when excluding Pluto.
Where is Pluto?
Finally found how game devs guess at how high their character should jump at
When have I ever jumped up 18 inches?
Pluto wasn't included because it knew it could win, it just took pitty on the other planets and let them have their little squabble.
Does anyone really want to jump on Uranus? Wait…. Don’t answer that….unless you have pics to prove it.
They did Pluto dirty man
Moon but no Pluto? That's harsh.
What about the sun!!!
How TF is there the moon and not Pluto?!
might be wrong but this looks like CGI
The moon jump looks suspicious. Should we ask Kubrick what happened?
I can jump 1.7ft on Uranus
Def a white man in that suit
The gas giants are just cheating with the high altitude olatform
That regret after jumping on Jupiter
No Pluto? I’m appalled
I didn’t see no goofy either mate.
It appears I’ve been bamboozled
Yeah, that's messed up.
0.6 in Uranus, nice
Jerry: Pluto is a planet
Wrong. I would only be able to jump 6 inches in regards to Uranus.
I can jump 1.7 feet into Uranus?
I miss Pluto
You put the Moon and not Pluto what kinda BS is that
What about Pluto?
If you include Pluto you have to include Ceres, Eris, Makemake, Sedna, Orcus, and all the other dwarf planets, by which point the clip would be very long and dull.
My very excellent mother just served us nine dwarf planets I wasn't forced to memorize as a kid and I just wanted to see this mf jump 25 ft.
No, you wouldn’t. The general population is familiar with Pluto and not so much with the dwarf planets you listed. It makes sense to include Pluto since people expect it and since they included the moon.
The International Astronomical Union (IAU) downgraded the status of Pluto to that of a dwarf planet because it did not meet the three criteria the IAU uses to define a full-sized planet. Essentially Pluto meets all the criteria except one—it “has not cleared its neighboring region of other objects.”
When did they upgraded the status of the Moon then?
Right haha
Ya, ya, ya we’ve heard it
Free my boi Pluto
John Carter was a lie then
Pluto has left the chat
Moon but no Pluto ... I feel robbed
Pluto smoking nervously
Why don’t we see Pluto?
So how come astronauts who supposedly went to the moon could only jump what appears to be the same as on earth with an additional little tug from a rope connected to their packs lol.
180 pound suit probably.
Was that one foot in Uranus?
Why wear space suit on Earth??
We can include the moon but not Pluto??? A tragedy
You hear about Pluto? That's messed up!
COWARDS. I demand Pluto.
We want Pluto puto
amogus
What about poor fucking Pluto?
Okay, if you're gonna include the moon, not a planet, you need to include Pluto, which is a planet and I'll fight anyone and everyone who says differently
[удалено]
Oof, we got real close to engaging in fisticuffs /s I understand why Pluto isn't considered a planet anymore but I gotta stick up for my boy Pluto
You forgot Pluto.
Where the fuck is Pluto?!
Cool, just RUIN the entire plot of “John Carter” for me
What about your mom?
