If 1 day on Jupiter is only 10 Earth hours, then it's not spinning 28X faster than Earth. I think you're confusing rotational speed with linear speed. With linear speed, it's taking the size of Jupiter into account because of how fast it's going at its equator. However, that's not how you're supposed to calculate rotation. In fact, that's how flat-earthers use their logic. If we're spinning at 1000 MPH, why don't we just fly off the Earth The reason we don't use that logic is because 1000 MPH looks very different depending on the size of the sphere. How you're supposed to calculate removes size from the equation, making it so it looks the same no matter what size it is. The Earth makes 1 rotation every 24 hours, or 15 degrees per hour. That looks the same whether it's the size of Earth, the size of Jupiter, the size of the Sun, or the size of a basketball. Our planet rotates at half the speed of the hour hand on a clock. If you do the math, Jupiter rotates at 1 rotation every 10 hours, or 36 degrees per hour. That's about 2. 6X faster than Earth.

I had a thought. What if our perception of the universe ever expanding isn't like an edge of everything coming into existence or what have you, what if it's because the light/radiowaves/etc being traveled from that edge finally made it back to us where we can observe it, and those observations of the furthest data we can record is an element of travel time. So, in basic terms, light travels, and the edge is just spots the light finally reaches and bounces back to where we can see it. It's hard to consider until we remember that the universe is so massive that a single lightyear is a speck of a speck in the grander view. So the time it'd take to reach the edge and bounce to us could just be the things we can record radiating outward and bouncing back when it hits something out there, giving that impression of universal expansion

Anyone who used logic would recognize that if it got bigger after absorbing the smaller spot then there must also be a time when that one big spot dissolves. It's impossible for the planet's atmosphere to stay exactly in the same state over the whole planet forever. The tiny variations in the sun's heat/radiation & amount of dust/rocks in space entering its atmosphere are not perfectly constant. So at some point a tiny change here, a tiny change there, & (even if extremely slow by human standards) the butterfly effect will eventually lead to changes in the shape & path of the storms from the air currents around the planet. The spot & the stripes on Jupiter are weather events. It's impressive that the atmosphere has changed so slowly, but clearly it wasn't going to stay the same.

I'm sorry, but the idea that Jupiter is a failed star is way off. Brown Dwarfs are failed stars, which create heat and a soft glow, but not enough fusion to sustain itself as a star. Jupiter isn't even a hyper puff giant, gas giants that are 4-6x more massive and about 2-3 times the size. it would need to be 13-15x as massive to create enough gravity for fusion. Which, doesn't seem like much, but in scale of the universe, it is too much. It's a common misconception, but in the terms of physics, Earth is as close to becoming a gas giant as Jupiter is to becoming a star.

13 more Jupiters worth, So if it were 14 times bigger. so if it grabbed more mass than available mass in the solar system, that isn't already part of a star. that's like saying a dog could be an oak tree if it had more mass. My astronomy professor really hated the failed sun factoid as it is rather disingenuous, as anything with enough mass of the right kind could be a star the only reason people still repeat the failed star factoid is because Jupiter happens to be the largest planet in our solar system, but it is still far less massive than a star.

2: 15 major misinformation, Jupiter is not even close to being a star, 13x Jupiter mass it can start deuterium fusion which is a form of nuclear fusion but won’t ignite into a star and only become a brown dwarf, those are the real failed stars. Jupiter is a VERY successful planet and isn’t even close to being a failed star! Failed stars known as brown dwarves are 13-90x Jupiters mass as the nuclear fusion that makes a star a star can only begin at atleast 80x Jupiter mass so massive misinformation in the video

Jupiter would’ve been a failed star if it was 13 times bigger. At that mass, it would be big enough to fuse deuterium. But also, formation history matters
Stars form from collapsing gas clouds, but planets are often formed by the swirling disks that surround T-Tauri Stars. These disks are called protoplanetary disks. Jupiter formed from the protoplanetary disk of the Sun, just like all the other planets. Therefore, it isn’t a failed star, it’s the most successful planet in the Solar System.

Are these the same people that have been going on about climate change on earth. How in the 70’s it was going to freeze then in the 90’s it was going to heat up, oh and then in the 00’s the worlds beaches were going to be under water, oh oh an Greta what’s her name in 2018/19 was going to end in five years. Those scientists
None of that climate change because of human activity never happened ever.
How old is the universe

I was wondering about this recently.
I was a 90s PBS Kids kid who watched a ton of Bill Nye the Science Guy (still do but I used to too) and an episode on Jupiter and the solar system mentioned that The Great Red Spot was three Earths big.
The episode aired in the early 90s and, fast forward 30 years and I’m suffering from delusions in wondering if the Great Red Spot was indeed shrinking

Light speed is a joke The things we see xyz million light years from looked like that xyz millions of years ago, some thing probably looks nothing like that righ now if they exist at all. Andromeda-galaxy is coming, it's going to be bigger and bigger on the sky. Not that we'll be around when it'll got big enough to see it day and night.

To be fair I don't think many people have actually seen Jupiter's Great Red Spot with their own eyes. Most of us are familiar with it from picture or CGI/artist renditions. I've even seen the planet through an amateur telescope and couldn't make out any real details beyond that it had 4 visible moons around it.

There’s no way it’s going away just because predictive models say it’s going to. If it’s been there for hundreds of years. Since we’ve first been able to examine the surface. Then there’s no reason to expect that it’s going to fade away anytime soon.

We are pretty lucky that our hurricanes only last a day or two instead of years. I thought that when George Lucas was shooting the sun it became double exposed and not really about Jupiter as a sun. I know in Space Odyssey 2010 Jupiter became another sun.

The magnetic reversal started at the center of the galaxy. Its is effecting every object within it. Electromagnetic force connects every thing in the galaxy. Everything old is new again. The ancients knew this, they depicted it as a snake eating its tail.

If you could drive a car at 100mph from one side of the earth to the other, it would take about 8 days of non-stop driving.
If you could drive a car at 100mph from one side of Jupiter, to the other side, it would take over 3 months of non-stop driving.

Playing Solar Smash while I was watching this so I accidentally I made the sun to a red dwarf so I press the restart button, but I press the fast button and then Jupiter started collecting all of the asteroids so I don’t know what to do anymore

What do you mean 'my grandkids will never see it'
Brother, I'VE never seen it. I only know it's there because of the countless pictures and drawings of it circulating various kinds of media. My grandkids will see it in exactly the same way I did.

What an egotistical vid. Just assuming that everything that happened before was or will happen after is lesser than right now. Yes, marvel at the now. And also realize each of us is only one tiny dot in a majestic landscape that is the universe.

to be fair the big bang idea is only a theory. Its not fact. In the future they will probably figure out what really happened and look back calling it dumb that they thought they were so smart and they just thought it was a sudden bang that did it HA!

This is an example of climate change. It occurs not only on Earth, but on billions of planets that humans have never and will never visit. Keep that in mind when the cultist want to tax you into poverty claiming they can stop it here.
