This video shows how it would throw a ball on the other planets

Imagine throwing a ball. It's not very light, that's true, but here on Earth, for us humans, it can feel like cake. Now imagine throwing the same ball on the moon. Here, to give you an idea: if you threw that ball from the moon, you could even reach the height of the Tower of Pisa (57 meters).

Now imagine you're on Saturn. A little difficult, right? And nobody's ever been there. Fortunately. we made this video in which he shows us what it would be like if we threw a baseball on every planet. In the video, which you can watch above, you imagine a ball thrown at maximum speed by an adult person. From there, gravity determines how far the ball goes. The gravity of a planet derives from its mass (more massive objects also have stronger gravity), but density also plays a fundamental role.

Saturn, for example, has 95 times the mass of the Earth, but is the least dense planet in the entire solar system. This is why, when you are in the vicinity of Saturn, the force of gravity that pulls you there is actually weaker than on Earth. That’s why throwing a ball at Saturn doesn’t involve anything special. The really remarkable launch happens on Pluto instead. The dwarf planet is of such low gravity that your baseball might even pass the Great Pyramid of Giza 146 meters high. In the video, by the way, the launch time is also displayed and on Pluto it would take 47 seconds to finish.
