Planets As Animals – To Scale 3D Mass Comparison

If Earth is a labrador dog and Venus is a human child, then gas giants like Saturn and Jupiter must also match masses with their own animals… like an African forest elephant and a herd of 7 giraffes.

If Earth is a labrador dog and Venus is a human child, then gas giants like Saturn and Jupiter must also match masses with their own animals… like an African forest elephant and a herd of 7 giraffes.

You can understand the real scale of vast celestial bodies by comparing their relative sizes to animals on Earth that we’re familiar with — and then you can see them all in 360-degree 3D animation. We’ve paired the real scale of all the planets in our solar system to a range of small and large animals worldwide, like Pluto as a tiny black rat and Mercury as a kitten — and of course, the Sun, which by comparison to the planets has a scaled mass of 78 blue whales.

The cosmos is everywhere, all around us, all the time… it just depends on your perspective.

See you in the future!

    Just 78 blue whales vs a Labrador? I mean that’s still a lot but I expected way more to be honest. Like that all animals on earth wouldn’t be enough. I’m kinda blown away right now…

    Cool! Shout out to Pluto! He’s back! And since you did the moon too, I want to see ALL the moons.

    The video title should probably say mass comparison, not size comparison, unless I’m missing something.

    There’s just something to be said about a dramatic pan from “Labrador” to “Uranus”

    What the fuck is popular science now? I thought this was a meme post, a very educational and good meme post, but still a meme post, and then the pop sci logo came up.

    Mad lads. Utterly mad, but god damn if it doesn’t make me excited to see what more will come

    This was really awesome. Could have did the asteroid belt as a school of fish.

    Oh, and on the moon, is equal to a squirrel with the nut or without the nut. I did notice any other animals holding food.

    Interesting. If one takes a “beast” to be a planet, then the Book of Revelation takes on a more coherent narrative.

    Just remember this helpful mnemonic: “I’m not Kitten when I tell you this 6-Year-Old’s Labrador chased a Squirrel to Turkey where it saw 7 Giraffes. Also, did you know that the Elephant, Grizzly Bear, and Horse are all scared of Rats?”

  26. @megadog9305

    April 5, 2024 at 9:22 pm

    Ah yes, the old mnemonic, 78 Blue Whales, Kitten, Child (6), Labradoor (and Squirrel (Grey)), Turkey, 7 Giraffes, Elephant, Bear (Grizzly), Horse, Rat. It’s honestly the easiest way to remember the planets and also Pluto and the Moon.

    I’m not sure that child model is to scale, look at the dog and the cat. Hilarious

    Ive watched dozens of these scale solar system videos and i guess the part i dont get is the gravity of it all. Its all so spread out and gravity is so weak, how come a pod of whales aint pulling planketon in via gravity
