1. 0:00Did you know that the Soviet Union was
2. 0:02once larger than Pluto? I'm dying to
3. 0:04read the comments on this video. And
4. 0:06the worst part is that it's true, at
5. 0:07least in area. At its peak, the Soviet
6. 0:09Union had a total area of 22.4 million
7. 0:12square kilometers, while Pluto's
8. 0:14surface area is about 17.7 million
9. 0:16square kilometers. And wait, the
10. 0:19comparison gets even more bizarre. In
11. 0:20area, Brazil isn't larger than Pluto,
12. 0:23but from north to south, Brazil is
13. 0:25almost twice the length of Pluto. The
14. 0:27distance between the northernmost and
15. 0:30southernmost points of our country is
16. 0:33practically 4400 km, while Pluto's
17. 0:35diameter is 2376 km. But the intention
18. 0:40of this video isn't just to farm hype
19. 0:41around Pluto. I
20. 0:44don't need to do it again, right?
21. 0:45Okay.
22. 0:47I just needed an example to demonstrate
23. 0:49that in space, distances and sizes are
24. 0:50so vast that it is difficult for us to
25. 0:52have a real intuition of what these
26. 0:54numbers truly mean. Until Pluto is
27. 0:56compared to the Soviet Union. That's
28. 0:59why many people will be surprised when
29. 1:00they watch this video, even more so
30. 1:01when they discover that all the planets
31. 1:02in the solar system could fit
32. 1:04side-by-side within the distance
33. 1:05between the Earth and the Moon. Take
34. 1:07that.
