If it wasn't for the gas giants earth wouldn't be as it is today or none at all! It takes big impacts that could hit earth! Yet more proof we have a Lord who created us and what's out there he made the gas giants to help protect us from dangerous visitors that could put a end to life on earth. It's amazing to know the reason why those planets are there for, I wondered for years why God put them there when there is no life and seemed weird to have them and not have any life, nothing to benefit from where we could live if earth was no longer habitable for us. But now I know why its because they are guardians that either pull objects to them or sling shot them back out onto the deep space! Thank you Lord and thank you gas giants for making life on earth possible! -

No talk about Galileo's drop probe it sent into Jupiter? That would have been an interesting side-discussion. highest speed atmospheric entry every (IIRC) due to Jupiter's immense gravity, then a parachute descent through the clouds, IIRC it dropped into one of the driest spots in Jupiter's atmosphere by sheer bad luck, so detected little water, but IMMENSE lightning storms millions of times more powerful than any lightning storms on Earth, descending lower and lower through the atmosphere til the enormous pressure finally crushed it, sinking into the interior and being vaporized.
Later! OL J R: )

So what would happen, theoretically, if Jupiter got bigger over time and turned into a star? I'm assuming it would only get big enough after the sun died anyway, but if theoretically it got to the right size and began to undergo the fusion before then, would it kill the life on earth? It's my understanding (correct me if I'm wrong) that there's life on earth because it's far enough away from the sun that we dont burn but close enough that we dont freeze (due to the size of the planet and the atmosphere and aboht a million other variables) but another close star would make it too hot, right?

I mean our solar system alone is already so full of astounding and amazing things, that totally and utterly blow all kinds of -beautiful lie- books of fairy tales straight out of the water. What the Gre'Thor do I need a -supreme being- for!

How can a scars from Halley's comets impact still there if Jupiter is a gas giant planet? If it is made of gas then the scar's of the impact must have gone a long time ago.

Phil I've followed you since Phil Plait's Bad Astronomy. I have a son who I'm slowly getting interested in space, so this show is perfect for us. Keep up the good work. -

Can you please at least caption miles when you talk about kilometers? I get distracted doing the conversion in my head. After all, PBS is American, right? MILES

Kwik question. With it being gas how is a point of reference to work out orbits. obviously we could use cape horn or something. wouldnt jupiter constantly change

If jupiter doesnt have a core the. How would gravity hold it together? Usually the core is the most massive spot that holds anything together

All the other planets can fit inside Jupiter with room to spare. That statement will be true whether or not Pluto is considered a planet.
