Located in levels of importance, the main objects of the Solar System is the eight planets and the massive star we orbit. Among this exclusive group is the world we inhabit, Earth. It is an immense natural spaceship in which we travel through the Milky Way and so far the only place that records life as we know it.
However, its size dwarfs when we compare our size to other objects in the universe. We don’t even need to leave our own Solar system to understand how tiny we are and how vulnerable we would be in the face of a stellar catastrophe.
An illustrative video, as beautiful as it is impressive, shows the cosmic perspective of some of the most important objects according to their size.
According to what the people of Astro Loverwithin the video some of the most important moons of Jupiter are shown that can even become larger or similar to our natural satellite.
The size of objects in the Solar System
First of all, some of the small moons appear that have different planets of the Solar system up to four in particular. These are the satellites Io and Europa, which are very similar to ours.
then there are the moons Callisto, Titan and Ganymedewhich in terms of size are very similar to the planet Mercury.
Until now there is nothing bigger than our Earth, but we begin to approach with Mars and Venusuntil they appear Neptune and Uranus to leave us diminished to a small point in immensity.
But this pair that shrinks us, they are nothing comparable with the two gas giants that are in our Solar System: Saturn and Jupiter that, apart from the Sun, are the two largest objects that our backyard has in the Milky Way.
