@neildegrassetyson: Jupiter's basically Earth's giant bodyguard, but if it stopped rotating tomorrow, would we even notice? 🤔 Check out our latest YouTube video answering fan questions about Jupiter, the nature of AI, and whether aliens are funny🔗 link in bio! #StarTalk #Space #Jupiter #ScienceTok #Astronomy

n1p :

what about Apophis that's inner solar system?

Randy Marsh :

Daddy Jupiter

iwasatoad :

Bigger question would be would it affect it’s moons orbits enough to change it’s gravitational pull or magnetic fields that would change the trajectory of things passing by.

noam_neerman :

Never skipping a startalk vid

Jr.Immanuel :

Since it’s Gas giant, without rotation would the gases expand the planets boundary?

I got the honor of listening to you speak tonight in Denver…amazing! My father loved you, he passed away in 2009. Listening to you speak felt like he was back in this world with me. Thank you!

Deepika Harris :

Sir, you already took Pluto out of our solar system, Now Jupiter? Trouble maker, that you are🤺🌕🌍🌑

VT :

So the moons like Europa and Io wouldn't have any impact if Jupiter says "I'm not moving"?

d.chiu :

Venus is tidal locked to the sun

purpsXgelato :

i think physics has nothing to do with magnetics and since all the planets spin one might assume magnetics is the cause, it just might be the real swatter

Inon :

Currently, Jupiter's rotation increases its size at the equator by 6.5%. If Jupiter stopped rotating, it would form a slightly smaller barrier to small objects.

Sincas :

those moons surrounding it would not have a good time either

Seren Fuller :

it's a swirl.. 🤔

Handi_ca :

This has me curious about the effects of a meteor or asteroid impact on a gas giant planet 🤔 Would the object just “splash” into the planet?

BillonairesShouldNeverExist :

Indubitably

user8698387415610 :

I love you🥰

Topochico :

spiridwnoss :

I love helping small astronomy enthusiasts

.2amShopper :

boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider

cdgoodwin :

But then their magnetic core stops and get rid of their protection and lose the thick atmosphere to solar winds, and then it won't be big enough to catch the stuff Anymore, or something like that 😬😳🤔 i need to quit watching these baked.🤣🤣🤣

Melissa Swingle :

"And Jupiter said, 'No ya don't!'"

Kimm Knowles Freisne :

@Tyreak Told You would still hate it.

Jason Beza :

❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥
