  1. I need to ask a question, if the Earth was made from star stuff, how the heck were plants and animals made? How did humans not die out from their stupidity? How was water made? 🤔 🤔 ❓

  2. I just loved how he dealt with Pluto with such affection. You can feel the fascination in his eyes, which is something that was transmited to me. Pluto, Ceres, Sedna, you name it: they're all mind-bogling and fascinating!

  3. AUSTRALIA IS NOT A CONTINENT WTF??? i mean I'm not surprised you're from the us and y'all there don't know geography so

  4. My old history teacher said he knew the crash course guy in high school not the guy in this video but the history guy

  5. I say a planet has a minimum size of mercury and orbits a star. a moon has enough gravity to be a circle but orbits a planet. a dwarf planet has enough gravity to be a circle but isn't big enough to be a planet

  6. does anyone have the answers to these statments?
    1-The Solar System is the ________ and all the objects orbiting around it due to its force of __________.

    2-The Solar System formed about 4.6 billion ________ ago.

    3-The mass of the ________ is over 98% of the total mass of the Solar System.

    4-There are 8 planets. In order from the Sun they are: _________, Venus, _________, Mars, ___________, Saturn, ___________ and Neptune.

    5-In between Mars and Jupiter is the ___________ belt.

    6-Some planets have _________ orbiting around them
    please i really need it

  7. Except planet IS defined and there are no exceptions to that rule. Why aren't you explaining that actual definition that is used nowadays? I get that might be a little advanced for this episode. But please don't substitute that by giving a dishonest explanation about the suposed lack of a clear definition.

  8. The debug code cuz i can

  9. Earth: Hey Sun! Today is Earth Day. The one day they celebrate me!

    Sun: Wow, good for you (rolls eyes)

    Earth: You must be jealous, huh?

    Sun: Nope.

    Earth: You are! You don’t have a day for yourself, ha!

    Sun: Hm, I wonder what day it is?

    Earth: Silly, you forget everything! Today is Sunda-

    Sun: 🌞

    Who else is here in quarantine getting this assigned by ur science teacher? This is from Jen West, True as hell though.

  11. Why is it that being 'cooler' meant that the gas giants were able to hold onto hydrogen and helium, in the way the rockier planets couldn't? Thank you.

  12. I knew I couldn't be the only person to look for the formal definition of a planet when first asked about classifying Pluto. Upon learning that there was, at that time, no formal definition of a planet, I held no opinion on the status of Pluto. Until such a definition was created, no meaningful conclusion can be reached.

  13. Nothing is true about dolar system….there are no ice planets, no gas plsnets rock planets …no planets, no solar systems.
    The other which is the invisible ones, God live in, is very different from the sky objects, the stars,the sun and the moon.
    Gas planets , ice planets…..????hahahahaha????
    Thanks for entertaining us.
