Way out in the solar system, the heat of the Sun drops off dramatically, so the gas giants get just a tiny percent of the solar radiation that reaches Earth. Instead, their weather is fueled from the inside out!Bd_Tmprd, Jeffrey Mckishen, James Knight, Christoph Schwanke, Jacob, Matt Curls, Sam Buck, Christopher R Boucher, Eric Jensen, Lehel Kovacs, Adam Brainard, Greg, Sam Lutfi, Piya Shedden, Katie Marie Magnone, Scott Satovsky Jr, Charles Southerland, Charles george, Alex Hackman, Chris Peters, Kevin Bealer

Feels good to have the first dislike
This guy’s head looks like a potato with a beard
your head is upsidedown
Reid, whoever set up your green screen needs more lessons! Not only did your beard look like some kind of glue on thingy (no pun intended) but it also looked like you had blond hair… where there isn’t any!
Good info anyway, good job!
Cheers,
jc
You mispronounced Uranus.
“Uranus has no internal heat source”
unless you had a taco at lunch
I’m so early OMG
“Uranus has no heat source ” looks like someone hasnt done ass .
My question is why you aren’t on more often than Hank. You’re just a more likeable person. Thanks for this video.
OK. It is not heat in the conventional sense. There isn’t a band of heat between Earth snd Sun. It is Infrared radiation. This does not need a medium, such as air, to transmit. Just trying to make the world a better place.
Im early too
The beard makes his head look SOOOO large, doesn’t it???
“The gas giants get just a tiny percent of the solar radiation that reaches Earth.”
I’m pretty sure that the gas giants get _zero_ percent of the solar radiation that _reaches_ Earth (it reached _Earth,_ not them).
If heat is the movement of atoms not the amount of electrons how when pressure is added heat increase not decrease. . More pressure less molecular or atomic movement.
He’s always hot lol 😋😋
Oh wow I’m early
Youanus has no internel heat source. How you explain the hot methane 😆😆😂 , or hot mud slides 💩 yours is is know for hot air.
Some people say I’m inside out, I’m special
I had no idea that our gas planets are contracting. As usual Reid delivered another interesting and informative episode. Also I just learned that the Earth inners never cool off because of the radioactive elements decaying in it. By the way, may Reid’s sexiness never cool off either.
The helium rain theory doesn’t make sense…what gives the energy to turn liquid helium into vapor in the first place, then? As we all know perpetual motion is impossible, there must be an alternative source of energy outside of the planet itself
whoa, wtf. That green screen effect got really bad today guys.
Jupiter is a contracting planet? I don’t understand… Is it shrinking?
Hate the beard. Looks dyed
So everyone knows about Dyson spheres, but they’re almost impossibly large (almost) but what if you could build a smaller one to harness the power given off by a gas giant?
You keep pronouncing Uranus wrong. YOUR-ANUS
Yes i love the bald guy! I don’t know his name and was waiting for this! Can non partions request videos?
Top 10
Pretty sure this presenter is a digital model and not a real human.
If Neptune and Jupiter are contracting I hope the pay is good because that weather…
Great
So the gas giants don’t have radioactive decay heating their cores?
How many nuclear bombs would be needed to be buried deep into mars to make it have a similar heated core and plate tectonics like the earth?
Engaging comment
so if i understand it right 50% of our core radiactiv stuff as decade so will that mean that in about 4.8b yr all of it will be gone? and our core wil be soild and we loose our magentic field
Firseconth
Why are some gas giants still contracting and others aren’t?
Honestly what is it with you people and being early this video isn’t going anywhere
Nice save pronouncing Ura-nus and not Ur-anus.
You are saying that Uranus and Neptune are twins?

Is it just me, or why tf is Reid’s scalp kinda yellow? 🤔
Instead 1000s and 10000000s of km, why not use Mm and Gm?
He has wooden teeth
.
wait –
_150 million kilometers_ . . .
.
how many miles is that?
.
.
.
Metallic hydrogen
So… we’d need to wear our raincoats UNDER our spacesuits?
How many takes do you guys think 2:15 took?
I wonder is Saturn has regular Helium rain or quantum rain?
Couldn’t you have pronounced it youranus just once? Gosh!
GoW4 Kratos teaches us astronomy now. Okay, I’m feelin’ it!
I know it wouldn’t taste like anything, but I wanna taste helium rain.
It’s so weird seeing kratos without his ash markings. Fatherhood changes you I guess.
The question I have is what happens when all of the Earth’s radioactive materials that help keep the core moving have stopped being radioactive?
Everyone’s attempts in pronouncing Uranus as muffled and squashed as possible in order to avoid it sounding like the other thing is amusing (and a little pathetic, because you just draw more attention to it)
So if Uranus has no internal heating, I guess we can’t stick a thermometer inside it to find out the temperature…
That’s so cool!
My boy rockin’ a magnificent beard now
I like the way he pronounces Uranus
2:16 about the same temperature as what ?
Makes me wonder if you’ll have to worry about radiation poisoning if you dig too deep.
When SpaceX successfully hops their prototype starship, will y’all be putting out a video about it?
Look at that glorious beard! Reid, you are an inspiration. Tell me your secrets!
Alright, i’ve gotta ask. When the wind is supersonic, can sound travel through it?
According to my geology professors the heat generated from radioactive decay actually happens in the lithosphere not the core.
Hydrogen peroxide 1.5% mouth rinse. Works wonders on coffee stains.
You guys should put some soundproofing in the room you record in. You can the reverberation from the walls.
I swear it’s already snowing where I live. It just melts before it hits the ground. Evaporating, condensing blocking sun’s heat and melt raining
When you say “still contracting” does that mean we expect them to stop eventually? Or we expect to find them already contracted?
This doesn’t make any sense. You’re telling me over that many eons there’s still heating and compression occuring and equilibrium hasn’t been reached? I get there’d be some “heat pressure” keeping it from collapsing, but so would equilibrium being achieved from the energy it obtains from the sun.
It’s either there was so much heating initially it should’ve blown up the gas giant or the heating is coming from another source, like something to do with the metallic hydrogen core. It could also be that being such light gases the resistance to flow is also a lot less in the upper layers, resulting in crazy winds just at much lower densities than earth.
Absolutely nothing to back this up, just logicing.
Someone should make a movie called inside out.
Love the YouTube SciShows however could you refrain from covering the beautifull graphics with your opaque banner headings!
Impressive how quick and thorough you are while staying on point and keeping it interesting. At least for me. Nice.
Where do I know this guy’s voice from
You ever been looking at the science news and see an article that looks really interesting, but you pass on reading it immediately because sci space is probably going to talk about it. Mars wasn’t that wet? Let’s talk about that
Uranus
Temperature..
This brings memories from the childhood 😂🤣
2:15 ok wait, how do you know that about me
Muscle Hank has inside out weather. Even the Pixar movie Inside Out has inside out weather, it’s literally in the name
Im so old that I was taught this contraction of gas giants was a source of the electromagnetic fields. #1996
THANKS REID!, I ALWAYS ENJOY YOUR VIDS!
Super interesting! I’m curious about how Saturn could still have uncondensed helium. What regenerates it, if anything? Is the underlying source of energy coming from the planet’s rotation (that’s slowed by the helium rain’s friction)?
I feel like the youtube compression algorithm cannot handle your beard in all of its’ glory.
How do you organize an astronomy party? You planet.
Helium falling sounds so strange…
The images we get now are absolutely amazing! I know previously we had artists make their interpretation of the info and were stunning.
Very interesting. My team recently discovered a new Uranus-like exoplanet candidate, super-puffs are exciting! By the way for those who might not know it, a super-puff is a type of planet with a mass only a few times larger than Earth’s but a radius larger than that of Neptune.
My question is why Uranus doesn’t produce any heat, especially since it is so similar to Neptune?
