Fun fact: The sun is the hardest place to get to in the solar system. It’s less dV to leave entirely than to get to Mercury
can you explain why? cuz that doesnt make sense to me
The solar system is doing this
Which makes you go like this
And while it's possible to make your way towards the center, it's difficult
And this requires less work
Please consider becoming a science teacher.
Might have to move to a different country if in the US. But I agree.
Dudes been waiting for a reason to use these lol
Best explanation!
Fuck. Is that you, Kyle Hill?
Is Kyle Hill on Lemmy? Somebody ask him next stream!
There’s been plenty of explanations already, but here’s a perspective I think can help:
Your original intuition is entirely correct for an object that appeared next to earth but which isn’t moving relative to the sun. It would fall straight in with very little trouble. If it’s moving a little sideways then it’d need to be nudged to make sure it didn’t miss the sun.
But the Earth is moving super fast sideways, so an object coming from Earth would need to be nudged a lot to not miss the sun.
Yeah, when I starter playing Kerbal I figured jt'd be super easy, but I forgot that the planets are moving FAST.
