What Happens If You Throw a Paper Airplane on Every Planet? ✈️🌍

[00:00:00]What happens if you throw a paper airplane on every planet? On Earth, the paper airplane glides forward for a few seconds, then nose dives straight into the ground like every school competition ever. On the moon, there's no air at all. You throw it, and it instantly drops like a rock. Turns out paper airplanes need an atmosphere to actually fly. On Venus, the air is so thick the plane barely moves. It slowly floats forward before the insane heat curls the paper into a burning mess. On Mercury, the sunlight is brutal. The paper starts scorching midair, and before it can land, it bursts into flames. On Mars, the atmosphere is super thin. The airplane tries its best, glides awkwardly over the red dust for a few meters, and crashes face-first into the sand. On Jupiter, the gravity is so strong the plane gets pulled downward almost immediately. One tiny glide, and it's gone forever into the storm clouds.

[00:00:51]On Saturn, you throw the plane perfectly, but there's no ground anywhere below it. The airplane just keeps falling endlessly through the gas giant. On Neptune, the winds are so insanely powerful the plane gets ripped out of your hand and launched across the planet at hurricane speed. On Uranus, the freezing temperatures make the paper stiff as cardboard. You throw it once, it snaps in half midair. On Pluto, the weak gravity sends the paper airplane floating slowly through the dark sky like it's moving in a dream. And somehow, it lands perfectly. And somewhere back on Earth, Socrates throws the same paper airplane and somehow makes it fly backwards.
