How you would Die on Every Planet is TERRIFYING!

[00:00:00]What dying on every planet would be like by The Paint Explainer.

[00:00:04]>> Mercury.

[00:00:04]>> Why is the sun here?

[00:00:05]>> Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. If you think that you get hot all the time, >> You're wrong.

[00:00:10]>> It's not.

[00:00:10]>> Temperatures can plummet to an icy minus 180° C. During the day, however, they can skyrocket to 430° C.

[00:00:18]>> 860° F, [ __ ] >> Question. Question.

[00:00:22]>> Whoa. How could it get so cold, though?

[00:00:24]>> Yeah, it's right there.

[00:00:25]>> It's like it don't ever leave right there.

[00:00:27]>> Yeah, like that heat heating.

[00:00:29]>> Yeah, and then I don't I don't understand that part.

[00:00:31]>> That's what I was saying.

[00:00:32]>> Yeah, that's that's a little crazy.

[00:00:33]>> This extreme imbalance happens because Mercury doesn't have a proper atmosphere to regulate temperature. Instead, it has a very thin exosphere, which doesn't maintain heat. While apart from temperature, you wouldn't have to worry about weather on Mercury, the real dangers come from solar radiation and the lack of breathable air. In fact, Mercury gets almost seven times the solar irradiance that Earth receives. As the smallest planet in the solar system, Mercury is full of craters, cliffs, and bumpy terrain, making it a pretty tough place to land as well.

[00:01:01]>> Okay, so while the heat is heating is there, but it don't retain the heat. So, it just it just [ __ ] get tall.

[00:01:07]>> Also, I don't think I don't think we want to land on Mercury.

[00:01:09]>> Yeah, not at all.

[00:01:10]>> No point. It doesn't help, either. It would make slowing down a spaceship much harder, increasing the chances of a high-speed crash. Landing during the daytime is out of the question because of the extreme heat. The latest NASA spacesuits can only handle up to 121° C, nowhere near Mercury's daytime temperatures of 430° C. Plus, keep in mind that Mercury's day lasts about half a year due to its slow rotation.

[00:01:34]Nighttime isn't much better.

[00:01:35]Temperatures of minus 180° >> Minus 300.

[00:01:39]You're done. You're frozen.

[00:01:41]>> far exceed NASA suits lower limit of minus 157° C, so you'd still freeze. Your best bet would be to try landing in the terminator zone, the area between day and night where temperatures are more moderate. Even there, however, it can be risky >> good. What the hell?

[00:01:56]>> as temperatures can quickly. Venus.

[00:01:58]Venus is the closest planet to Earth, sitting just 40 million kilometers away.

[00:02:02]This means the journey there would be relative closest planet as temperatures can change relatively quickly. Venus.

[00:02:08]>> Okay, I've [ __ ] forgotten where we was in the [ __ ] [ __ ] So, we third.

[00:02:12]>> [laughter] >> Venus is the closest planet to Earth, sitting just 40 million kilometers away.

[00:02:17]This means the journey there would be relatively short, about 4 months. Its size and gravity wouldn't pose much of a problem as they're pretty similar to Earth's. The first real issue you'd face though would be those beautiful yellow clouds you'd see there.

[00:02:28]>> They not, they poison.

[00:02:30]>> Unfortunately, they're made of sulfuric acid, a highly >> Called it, you called it. Ah, yeah, it's over for you. You ain't making it through.

[00:02:37]>> corrosive substance that would destroy your lungs in seconds. But, let's assume you've got a space suit advanced enough to filter it out. As you descend to the surface, you'd notice visibility dropping drastically. The atmosphere becomes incredibly thick, made mostly of carbon dioxide, so you wouldn't be able to see much. Then, there's the heat, an unbearable 450° C.

[00:02:56]If that wasn't enough, >> And they said 870° F.

[00:03:00]The same as 450° C.

[00:03:02]The same as Mercury. How we get so damn lucky? We like we next.

[00:03:08]>> About 10% of the sunlight reaches the surface as it's blocked by the thick atmosphere, so it would be pretty dark.

[00:03:13]On the surface, >> it so hot? Is it the carbon dioxide?

[00:03:16]>> it's the atmosphere.

[00:03:17]>> Yeah.

[00:03:17]>> arms and legs would be a serious struggle. Even though gravity is nearly the same as on Earth, the air is so dense you'd feel like you're wading through a heavy liquid.

[00:03:25]>> Ah.

[00:03:25]>> With a good pressurized suit, you might last a few seconds down there. But, before long, the pressure, about 92 bars compared to Earth's 1 bar at sea level, would crush your suit. And if that didn't kill you, the sulfuric acid you'd start inhaling once your suit broke definitely would. Mars.

[00:03:40]>> Ooh.

[00:03:40]>> Mars is the second closest planet to Earth and the most habitable of all eight planets. Daytime temperatures are much less extreme compared to Mercury and Venus, reaching up to a relatively comfortable 20° C.

[00:03:51]>> Oh, yeah, that ain't nothing. Hey, we cool. But the winter though, the cold parts, the nighttime part.

[00:03:56]>> However, the real challenge comes at night or in certain parts of the planet where temperatures can drop as low as - >> [ __ ] God damn.

[00:04:02]>> Yeah, we ain't living there.

[00:04:03]>> Oh, wait, wait, wait. Isn't that That's within range of the suit?

[00:04:06]>> Yeah, but that's a suit.

[00:04:07]>> Yeah, that's in the >> They talking about trying to live on that [ __ ] >> Bro, we living in the suit.

[00:04:10]>> 153° C. Another big issue, similar to Mercury, is Mars's incredibly thin atmosphere. It's mostly made up of carbon dioxide with only trace amounts of oxygen, meaning there's not that much breathable air.

[00:04:22]>> Can't breathe.

[00:04:23]>> The thin atmosphere >> I've always had this I've always had this question.

[00:04:27]>> Y'all don't know. Quit me.

[00:04:28]>> All right, what's the question?

[00:04:29]>> Give it to us.

[00:04:29]>> If we could take a whole bunch of tree Wait, whole bunch.

[00:04:33]>> The trees got to survive.

[00:04:35]>> Listen, hear me out. Hear me out. Hear me out. Hear me out. Hear me out.

[00:04:37]>> All right.

[00:04:38]>> Say we're able to put whole living trees in a [ __ ] rocket, okay? We launch that [ __ ] with Let's say Let's say we send up like 10 rockets. Each rocket got like 100 trees in it, right? Boom.

[00:04:49]>> Okay.

[00:04:50]>> Boom.

[00:04:50]>> These These real big rockets.

[00:04:52]>> Okay.

[00:04:52]>> Launch this [ __ ] up, right? We also launch up some rockets with water in another rocket.

[00:04:57]>> You basically saying plant the trees on Mars. What the What the >> Yeah, because it's so much CO2.

[00:05:03]Shouldn't I know what I'm saying?

[00:05:04]>> Other factors that's going to cause the plants to die, I'm pretty sure.

[00:05:07]>> What?

[00:05:07]>> I don't know.

[00:05:08]>> What?

[00:05:08]>> Cuz if we bring the soil and we got the water and it got the sun.

[00:05:13]>> [laughter] >> Door must be closed at all times. What the hell is that here?

[00:05:18]>> It's Internet City Hall store.

[00:05:20]>> Oh, is that new merch?

[00:05:22]>> Yeah.

[00:05:23]>> Artisanal worldwide?

[00:05:25]>> Oh, wait. I'm wearing it, too.

[00:05:27]>> Oh, [screaming] shoot.

[00:05:28]>> Yeah. Oh, yeah.

[00:05:28]>> Sleeves.

[00:05:29]>> Yeah.

[00:05:29]>> Back.

[00:05:29]>> Yes.

[00:05:30]>> Sleeves.

[00:05:30]>> Yes.

[00:05:30]>> Sleeves.

[00:05:31]>> Yes.

[00:05:31]>> Sleeves.

[00:05:32]>> Back.

[00:05:33]>> Sleeves.

[00:05:34]>> Internet City Hall store. Go ahead and get the new merch, Artisanal worldwide.

[00:05:37]Everything is rated R for autism, if you don't understand it. Hey, it ain't meant for you, baby. Join the crew. Join the cult. Hop up in there, bro.

[00:05:48]What's What's wrong with you?

[00:05:49]>> I don't know. I was thinking of something clever.

[00:05:51]It's 4:00 a.m. We've been going for an >> Yeah, we've been going >> Buy the merch, bro.

[00:05:54]>> Yeah, go ahead and get that.

[00:05:55]>> high pressure and high levels of radiation exposure, both of which are incredibly dangerous. The average natural radiation level on Mars is 24 to 30 rads, which is about 40 to 50 times the average on Earth.

[00:06:06]>> [ __ ] >> On top of >> Okay, so we also need to put up some lead shielding.

[00:06:11]>> Yeah, that's a good idea.

[00:06:12]>> Mars experiences frequent and extremely violent dust storms with wind speeds reaching up to 100 km/h. These storms could pose serious threats. So, any attempt at habitation would require a sustainable, airtight, and well-insulated life support system.

[00:06:25]>> Mhm.

[00:06:26]>> Jupiter. Jupiter is the biggest planet out of the eight and is one of the hardest planets to land on, primarily because of its extreme radiation levels.

[00:06:33]Even 300,000 km away, the radiation would start penetrating your suit and you'd be done for. But, since that's a ball >> So, in space?

[00:06:41]>> What [ __ ] going on with these [ __ ] bro?

[00:06:44]>> The planet itself >> You know what, bro? You know what's going on, bro?

[00:06:47]>> We didn't try to live on all these other joints and [ __ ] them up. Now we didn't come to this one and we're slowly [ __ ] this one up, too.

[00:06:52]>> I don't think that's the case.

[00:06:54]>> Let's assume you have a hypothetical suit that can block the radiation.

[00:06:57]Jupiter's gravity is 2.4 times stronger than Earth's.

[00:07:00]>> Jesus.

[00:07:01]>> falling incredibly fast. As you enter the first layers of the atmosphere, you'd encounter white clouds made of frozen ammonia crystals with temperatures around >> [ __ ] ammonia?

[00:07:10]>> -150° C.

[00:07:11]The winds here are no joke, reaching insane speeds of up to 482 km/h.

[00:07:16]>> Constant hurricane, tornado, whatever the hell you want to call it.

[00:07:19]>> That's faster than hurricane.

[00:07:21]>> Yeah. Constant.

[00:07:23]>> And you said it's a gas giant?

[00:07:24]>> about 100 >> know. He didn't say that, so >> top layers, you'd reach the deepest point ever explored. This is how far NASA's Galileo probe got back in 1995.

[00:07:33]Beyond this point, things start getting darker and both temperature and pressure increase rapidly. Just as a fun fact, the pressure near Jupiter's center is estimated to be about 100 million times Earth's atmospheric pressure.

[00:07:45]>> After hours of falling, you might reach Jupiter's inner layers where you'd encounter a super critical fluid, a state that's not quite liquid, but not gas, either. Here, you'd kind of be swimming in this bizarre substance. If you continued further toward the center, you'd encounter metallic hydrogen, an extremely dense liquid that would trap you.

[00:08:00]>> So, it is a gas giant, I'm assuming.

[00:08:02]It's got to be.

[00:08:03]>> Somehow managed to get through that, you'd reach Jupiter's core, though we're not [clears throat] entirely sure if it's solid or not. The temperatures here would be about 24,000 degrees Celsius.

[00:08:11]>> [ __ ] I ain't going to lie to y'all, bro.

[00:08:13]>> Chase, man.

[00:08:14]>> Send the nuke over there. Blow that [ __ ] up from space. Let's >> You got to make it then. Can you blow up a planet? [laughter] >> That'd be some [ __ ] huh?

[00:08:20]>> I'm I'm pretty sure the [ __ ] is like everything in that [ __ ] flammable.

[00:08:24]>> 0.5 times hotter than the sun's surface.

[00:08:26]>> How?

[00:08:27]>> The core. It's the core. It's the core.

[00:08:29]It's the core.

[00:08:29]>> Saturn.

[00:08:30]Saturn is the second largest planet in the >> I see why you got it mixed up. They're next to each other. So, it makes sense.

[00:08:35]It makes sense. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:08:37]It makes sense.

[00:08:38]>> It's cuz Saturn the one that you said had the one we saw had rings, so it was Saturn and you said it was Jupiter.

[00:08:44]That's how they went?

[00:08:45]>> I don't even remember.

[00:08:46]>> But, is it the pressure because it's pressurized? Is the pressure causing that to be hotter?

[00:08:50]>> I mean, I'm Is that why our core is so hot?

[00:08:53]>> Well, I don't know I don't know how how hot our core is.

[00:08:56]>> Our core is [ __ ] pure [ __ ] flames and volcanic.

[00:09:00]>> [laughter] >> But, is it 43,000 degrees Fahrenheit?

[00:09:04]>> Somewhere about it. I don't [ __ ] know, [ __ ] >> times hotter than the sun's surface.

[00:09:09]Saturn.

[00:09:10]Saturn is the second largest planet in the solar system with an atmosphere primarily made of hydrogen and helium.

[00:09:16]The first challenge would be avoiding a crash with one of its 146 orbiting moons.

[00:09:20]>> Damn.

[00:09:21]>> Once you manage that, you'd encounter its iconic rings, which are made of debris from its ice pellets, comets, and asteroids.

[00:09:27]>> Earth Earth core is 9,800 Fahrenheit to 11,000 Fahrenheit.

[00:09:32]>> [ __ ] >> Let's assume you're either an incredibly skilled pilot or your spaceship is indestructible, so you don't meet your end by smashing into space junk. As you approach Saturn's rings, you'll witness an incredible spectacle of red and purple auras caused by highly energetic hydrogen in the atmosphere. However, this beauty comes with a catch.

[00:09:49]Hurricane-force winds blasting at speeds of around 1,800 km/h would make it nearly impossible >> What hurricane going that fast?

[00:09:58]What hurricane is going that fast?

[00:10:00]That's not a hurricane. We need new words for these celestial storms.

[00:10:03]>> [laughter] >> Wait, wait, wait, wait.

[00:10:07]>> Trying to enter from the North Pole wouldn't be any better. Up there, you'd face a massive storm so large you could fit two Earths inside it. This region also has ammonia clouds, similar to Jupiter's, and temperatures that can plummet to a bone-chilling minus 250°C.

[00:10:22]As you fall deeper through the layers of clouds, the temperatures would start to rise again, eventually reaching 0°C.

[00:10:28]>> The hurricane's only in the hundreds, bro, of of wind speeds, bro.

[00:10:32]>> Bro, that's what I'm saying.

[00:10:33]>> That's that's that's the other planet with hurricane winds. This is some [ __ ] >> the layers of clouds >> I thought it was 300 on other planet.

[00:10:40]>> Yeah, that was hurricane.

[00:10:41]>> Hurricane speed 300?

[00:10:42]>> Not even that.

[00:10:43]>> That's what I'm saying.

[00:10:44]>> [laughter] >> These are celestial storms.

[00:10:46]>> would start to rise again, eventually reaching 0°C. At this point, while the cold becomes less of an issue, pressure becomes your biggest enemy. It increases to levels comparable to the deepest parts of Earth's oceans. Continuing further, the gases around you would transition into a liquid state. If you somehow survived long enough to reach the center of Saturn, you'd encounter its molten rocky >> Why we I don't know why we trying to get to the center, [ __ ] We just trying to get on it, [ __ ] >> I don't think I don't think it has land >> Yeah, it don't have land to get on.

[00:11:14]>> size of Earth. Temperatures here reach a scorching 11,700°C, more than twice as hot as the sun's surface, with pressure roughly 1,000 times greater than Earth's. Uranus. This is where planets start getting really far from Earth, making the journey incredibly long. Uranus is one of the two ice giants and the only planet in the solar system that spins on its side.

[00:11:35]It also rotates faster than Earth with a day lasting just 17 By the way, being an ice giant doesn't mean the planet is a solid ball of ice.

[00:11:43]Instead, it means it's primarily composed of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium. Like Saturn, you'd need to avoid crashing into its rings.

[00:11:50]Once you pass them, you'd find yourself surrounded by toxic gas and the temperature would drop rapidly to below minus 200 degrees >> [laughter] >> This makes it the coldest planet in the solar system. If the freezing cold and poisonous atmosphere didn't get you, you'd descend through the first layer of the atmosphere. Here, things get even worse. The air becomes dense and you'd be pelted by ice Eventually, you'd reach something truly spectacular, a rain of diamonds driven by winds of up to 900 km per >> [clears throat] [snorts] [screaming] >> power. But once again, there's a catch.

[00:13:24]The pressure here is about 100 times greater than Earth's, which would ultimately crush you.

[00:13:30]Neptune is the second ice giant after Uranus, and its composition is very similar. Being the farthest planet from the sun, 30 times farther than Earth, it's incredibly dark. Like Uranus, Neptune is extremely cold in its outer layers, but the inner layers are intensely hot due to immense pressure and heat from its core. As a matter of fact, its core is about 7,000° C, which is hotter than the sun's surface. It also experiences the famous diamond caused by high pressure breaking down methane, forming solid diamonds.

[00:13:58]Neptune's winds are among the strongest in the solar system, reaching supersonic speeds. In many ways, it's basically a twin of Uranus, so there isn't much to add. If you liked this video, >> Man, why they do Pluto like that, bro?

[00:14:09]That [ __ ] crazy, bro. I never recover, bro. If Pluto's no longer a planet, how you going to tell me something opposite of what you've been telling me?

[00:14:16]Something you created, right? All right, bro. Yeah, it's all good, bro. Like the video.
