myrmepropagandistHere is a fun animation that will help you to understand the relative rpms of the planets.
Moose Jolly Holcomb@futurebird Ceres is having entirely too much fun.
Aviva Gary@futurebird this is very cool and some of these are not like the others lol ๐
llewelly@futurebird
great idea.
but
that earth is missing Aotearoa / New Zealand ! Also no Japan, most of Indonesia missing ...
at first I thought it was just too much video compression, but Madagascar is there, so I'm not sure why so much other stuff is missing.
and I'm disappointed that Olympus Mons and Hellas basin are not identifiable on Mars. : (
Probably I'm too picky.

I use arch btw (pacman, not rpm)
(bad joke please do not hurt me)
benteh@futurebird jupiter ๐๐ i relate
mike@futurebird TIL that Mercury ISNโT tidally locked โ but Venus is!! But if itโs rotating the โwrong wayโ, then how can it be tidally locked?!
Andrew@mike @futurebird Venus isnt tidally locked, it just has a very long day. Mercury used to be believed to be tidally locked, but it's actually in resonance. one solar day lasts 2 years. It just happened both of the first observations of its surface happened in the same part of the resonance.
Michael Porter@futurebird Is James O'Donoghue on Mastodon? After seeing this, I *really* think he should consider adding faces to his animations ๐
Rob Bos@MichaelPorter
ooh and frantically waving arms for the faster ones.
Virginicus@futurebird Venus ๐
Allen but one of the good ones@futurebird Oh this is cool!
Also, how did I never know that Pluto had such an extreme axial tilt?
Sterling Baldwin@futurebird I only learned recently how fast Jupiter spins and it blew my mind
natriumchloride@futurebird oh a day on venus is very long. Also their googley eyes ๐๐
clonejo@futurebird Do i misremember, or wasn't Mercury tidally locked with the sun? And so its face would be eternally lit by the sun? Or is the lighting here not supposed to be the sunlight?
Looks cute tho :)

your auntifa liza ๐ต๐ท ๐ฆ ๐ฆฆ@futurebird this is amazing, LMAO
SJHand@futurebird Ceres looks like a fun place to hang. Any Masto-physicists about who can tell me if we'd be crushed by that speed or just fly off into space? :D
TopWKone@futurebird am I seeing this correct? Venus is moving backwards?
XaiaX ฬฬโ@TopWKone @futurebird depends on how you determine the direction of rotation. It could be โbackwardsโ but the convention is that rotation is always counterclockwise when seen from โaboveโ (right hand rule) and so Venus is โupside downโ. (Hence the upside down smiley face)
Itโs also got a day thatโs 117 earth days long, so a Venusian year is just under 2 โdaysโ long.
Jorkin MahJongus@futurebird Jupiter needs to calm tf down ๐
@futurebird but honestly this explains Sagittarius (ruled by Jupiter) so well ๐
Logan Five Thousand@futurebird
Super cool!
You donโt hear much about rotation speeds.
I wonder about the sunโฆ?
David Hull ่กๅคง่ก@futurebird Jupiter is that kid who is way too into the merry-go-round. They're gonna barf!

acm@futurebird
1) Venus doesn't spin at all?!?
2) who let in Ceres? ๐
Stรฉphane Bortzmeyer@acm_redfox @futurebird Venus spins but so slowly (see the figures) you don't notice immediately.
LucyKemnitzer@futurebird Surprise is how the big guys move so fast. I would have thought they'd be the slow ones.
The Animal and the Machine@futurebird I love this so much!
@gwynnion thanks for letting us know about it.
Ursidinoj/The Bjornsdottirs@futurebird there are 8 (9 if you count pluto) planets in this illustration, not 7
Sean Blakey@ellenor2000 @futurebird If you count Pluto, you should count Ceres, too. And Eris, and a whole bunch of the other dwarf planets.
But that gets to a crowded illustration, and Pluto and Ceres are the ones with the best- imaged surfaces.
Coralie Renรฉe@futurebird Venus is "not" moving right or it is the slothest of them all!
zeichenreihe@futurebird is the "not" rotation of mercury and venus with like looking from the sun at the given planet or looking from a very distant star at the planet? (as they also move around the sun at the same time)

๐ฅฅ Great graphic of planetary rotations, myremepropagandist.
Look at #Uranus being the class clown! ๐ฅฅ

Geo@futurebird ๐คฃ Amazing!
Sandro Circi@futurebird It's even funnier when you consider the size of Jupiter compared to something like Mars or Ceres ๐คญ
Stop That@futurebird Just look at Jupiter go! ๐คฃ
Kevin Leecaster@futurebird
Now I'm wondering how our Sun's rotates relative to her major satellites.

0xDECAFBAD@futurebird Should add Haumea to this! (Rotational period 3.9 hours).

@futurebird Jupiter zoomies.
Flaming Cheeto@futurebird I'm definitely a Mercury
@futurebird slowly I turn, step by step,...
Mazzo@futurebird so if i would stand in an EVA suit(a very good one) on Venus, the sun rises in the west, and sets in the east ๐ค
...it would be a very long day ๐

crossgolf_rebel - kostenlose Kwalitรคtsposts@futurebird Pluto isn't a Planet
Alexander Ruthol@futurebird
So can one assume that any planet which does not have the spin axis at right angles to its orbit, has taken a very heavy impact at some point in its history?
E.g. Earth wobbles because it was hit by Theia some 4.5 billion years ago.

Melanie Stefan@futurebird Jupiter going โWheeeeeโ
@futurebird Fun fact: A day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus
Dale@futurebird Venus wins the staring contest!
John@futurebird damn, Jupiter goes fast
bahua++ for including Pluto and Ceres
latca@futurebird Are Saturn and Jupiter rotating so fast because they are gas planets?
Left Field Farm
Barry Goldman@latca @futurebird @futurebird the sun is a 'gas planet' and it's rotating pretty slow. or do we measure it relative to radius or mass or?
but lets think. if you form by being a rotating gas cloud that CONTRACTS then angular momentum says you speed up.
if you r a rocky planet and grow from agglomeration of random planetesimals... maybe you don't have that mechanism of speedup.
