obesity even kills stars, but the bigger they are, they shine brighter too

  It only constitutes 99.86% of the mass in the solar system!

    And 0.1% is Jupiter, the other 0.4% is everything else…

      I’ve never heard it described this way. If accurate… I get it now

  Misleading meme.

  The bigger the star, the faster it burns.

  I initially thought this meme was like Pacman, the Sun needs more fuel, must gobble gobble

  Fake news. We replaced over 99% of the mass of the entire solar system with LEDs.

    Ah yes I read that post too

    Here’s another fun fact for you: Basically, if you replaced the sun with a big LED, it would last about equally long assuming it outputs the same amount of light power. that’s because the sun gives off most of its power as light power already, because the heat has no other way to escape except through black body radiation

  I think it’s pretty neat that we still retain a bunch of heat in our planet’s core from the time of its formation.

    i read up on that recently and IIRC the heat that comes out of earth’s interior is about 0.03% of the total power we get on the surface of earth, the vast majority is from sunlight.

    and earth’s interior heat is about half-and-half from primordial heat (from when earth was formed) and from decay of primordial radionuclids and their decay products (basically uranium and thorium decaying)

  Slander, our sun isn’t even big enough to super nova!

    That’s why your mom can blow any minute.

    If it was it would burn faster

  I’m not a science guy can somebody please explain?

  • tomiant@piefed.social ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Because it’s big.

  And most of it will never even be used up.

  Earth is shown way too big in this picture…

  • marcos@lemmy.world ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I got that impression too, but after some hand-based estimation I think the problem is that the Sun is cropped and that throws our senses off.

      Either way, a banana would be useful.
