You might have heard that you can fit all the planets in our Solar System between the Earth and the moon. Is it true? Yes. And no. Space is so fucking annoying. If you line up Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn as a ringless bald bitch, Uranus, Ha ha, and Neptune side by side using their equator diameters, they span about 380,000 kilometers. Measuring at the equator is important because some planets spin so quickly, they bulge at the equator, making that the widest part. The moon's average distance from Earth is 384,000 4,000 kilometers. So yes, they fit. That's what she said. But sometimes they don't fit. That's also what she said. To make our lives harder, the moon doesn't orbit the Earth in a perfect circle, and that distance changes by up to 42,000 kilometers every month. At Apoge, when the moon is at its farthest away, they fit. That's what she said. When the moon is closest, at Perage, they don't fit. To sum up, at average distance, they fit, 4,000 kilometers to spare. At Apoge, they fit, 25,000 kilometers to spare. At parage, they don't fit over 16,000 km too long. And that is what I said.
