Larger planets have the Gravity to
hold onto gas.
They aren't "all gas".
This be like, "The Universe is expanding!!
It's going to do that FOREVER!!"
Or, "The temperature is rising!! It's going
to do that FOREVER!!"
At least, with the temperature, we can
access evidence to show that, in the
past, it has gone up and down cyclically
forever. I'm confident that, in other
reaches of the Universe, it is not
expanding, and that expansions and
contractions happen cyclically, as well.

Big Bang!! Shee-it!!
I mean. What SHIT!!

If it is not a planet then explain what it is without using the word
'planet'.

Every word has a common usage. In physics the content of a scientific 
term is codified in what's called a definition.

This definition we had to agree upon, if we want to successfully 
communicate about a certain subject.

If you use a phrase, but disagree to it's definition, you disturb the 
fabric of science, even if the 'wrong' use of the term is actually allowed.

But it's unscientific to use words in other ways as they are intended.

Here we have the question, if Pluto belongs to the planets of our solar 
system.

Whether or not this is the case, that is a question of the definition of 
the term 'planet'. And the definition is based on an agreement among 
scientists.

You may - nevertheless - reject such definitions and use any world you 
like to address any possible object. This is legal, but not recommended, 
since nobody will understand, what you try to say.

I mean, I just don't understand where some people come from...

In skool, they teach you the earth radius is 3,959 mi.

You know what you shoe size is, ...


Why is it all of a sudden everyone doesn't know what the size of the earth is??? 


The Earth-size is 3,959 mi.


Venus-size is 3,760 mi


It's a smaller size shoe.

Somebody mentioned Mars is Earth-size,  2,106 mi


The Earth-size is 3,959 mi.


If you ask kids in school today "What is the size of the earth?" Has the answered changed????


I don't get it.

Okay, I'll make it simple...only a smart person can answer this question correctly..

The Earth-size is 3,959 mi radius.

if I mutiply that number by 2,

2 x 3,959 mi radius = 7,918 mi radius


The question now is: Is 7,918 mi radius Earth-size? Yes or No??

Saul Levy, a poster from the astronomy newsgroup got the answer wrong.

I have to repeat the question:


The Earth-size is 3,959 mi radius.

if I mutiply that number by 2,

2 x 3,959 mi radius = 7,918 mi "radius"


The question now is: Is 7,918 mi radius Earth-size? Yes or No??



Now for Saul Levy, here is the definition of radius:

ra·di·us
'rade?s/
noun
noun: radius; plural noun: radii; plural noun: radiuses

    1.
    a straight line from the center to the circumference of a circle or sphere.

 The distance from the center to the edge of a circle. It is half of the circle's diameter.



I have to repeat the question:


The Earth-size is 3,959 mi radius.

if I mutiply that number (the earth radius) by 2,

2 x 3,959 mi radius = 7,918 mi "radius"


The question now is: Is 7,918 mi radius Earth-size? Yes or No??


Or in other words, a planet with a radius of 7,918 mi, is it Earth-size? Yes or No??



Is this question too tough for yous?

You don't want to ask seriously if 3959 equals 7918 ?

Answer: no.

But if you want to create classes of celestial bodies, it might be a 
possibility to classify all planets from  -say- 5000 to 10000 km radius 
into one class (called: 'Earth-sized' - for example).

This 'Earth-sized' is in fact not true for many members of such a 
category. But this is not a requirement for grouping things into classes.

I would also suggest, not to use such 'imperial units' anymore (in 
connection with physics), since they fell out of fashion in almost any 
country on this planet.

It is very simple..
if you're searching for
Life on other planets..
for another Earth..
you simply take a
precise number
and use that number
to find another Earth.

That number would be
a planet with the exact
raduis of the Earth, and
having the same distance from the Sun.


92.96 million mi by is 3,959 mi.


You find those precise numbers
anywhere else in the universe...
you got another Earth.

Of course not. It needs an invisible magnetic field around it, an 
atmosphere, water and continents.

Yes, it is what I call..."another Earth".



Just make sure the numbers are precise, exact...do not deviate from it.

No, planets are somehow similar, but not equal.

It's like people and you will not find the same person one more time.

Those are the requirements to life existence, mister. You have a 
comprehending problem somewhere. Please find out where. It's like 
urbanization of Berlin 1900 compared to 2015. Not much difference.

Your appreciation of "science" is QUITE DIFFERENT from mine. I suspect you 
confuse science with the opinions of scientists. But there, too, we differ 
enormously. At present, we have no knowledge of the existence of alien life. I 
believe that the consensus among physicists who have thought about this is that 
the existence of alien life is not only possible, but reasonably probable (but 
none of us quantify that).

However, speculating about what alien life forms might look like is definitely 
"kook". Or the stuff of movie fantasies....

Frank Drake calculations is WRONG. It is based on Mars having life on it's surface, and it does not...so that means
you need to throw Frank Drake's calculations into the garbage where it belongs.

There is no such thing as civilizations or "civilizations at our stage of 
development". Since those terms are terrible stochastic and relative. Ie 
there are indicators suggesting that "higher" advanced civilizations were 
in the past. Hence the future can't possibly give something more advanced, 
as an output governed by the equations of Entropy.

Then yes, contacts may had been possible in the past. When the Universe 
was warmer. Good post. Very funny indeed.
