In this collection of classic MinuteEarth videos, we find out that lots of what we thought we knew about the world around us isn’t quite right.
We originally created the videos in the “MinuteEarth Explains” series for another project. But we know that lots of people right now are looking for really good online educational content - and something to take their mind off current events - so we decided to release them here as well. We’d love to know what you think, so leave us a comment below!

    The video about pine trees was really interesting for me because English isn't my first language and I thought "pine tree" was a term for the whole Pinaceae family. In my native language (Swedish) we have a word for the whole type of tree with needles instead of leaves; "Barrträd". "Barr" is our word for the needles on a pine, fir, spruce etc. and "träd" is "tree", so it basically means "Needle trees". And I thought "Pine tree" was the English version of that. Thank you for clearing it up for me :)

    It's probably late for you but for anyone else who stumbles upon this the closest English equivalent is 'evergreen'. This technically refers to any tree where the leaves don't fall off in the winter, but in normal conversation is typically used for needle-trees.

    Colloquially, "pine tree" is used for the whole Pinaceae family, so you could consider "pine tree" to have multiple definitions; this is kind of like how "classical music" refers to both a specific era of western music aswell as a larger set of eras mushed together, or how "weight" variously refers to either mass or the force of mass under gravity. As the other two replies pointed out, there are terms for the colloquial usage of "pine tree" that removes ambiguity.

    Off the top of my head, I’d say that for an object to be a moon it must - orbit its parent body such that the barycenter is inside the parent body (or some maximum percent from the surface) - have a stable orbit around its parent body - meet some minimum size, probably a percentage

  • @TheScarvig

    i can agree with that, though it is possible to fully describe all these criteria by looking at the barycenter alone: 1. its easy barycenter inside one of the bodies 2. barycenter is not allowed to get too far away from the parent body. i dont know if you can define a barycenter for unstable orbits, but if it has one it probably shouldnt be wandering around too much 3. barycenter has to have a minimum distance from the center of the parent body. that would automativally exclude bodies that are way too small compared to their parent. and maybe just to make it clear we should add that the bodies themselves should primarily orbit a star, to exclude moons around moons around moons and stuff like twin asteroids

    That's only because she, like most Americans, pronounce aunt wrong. There's a U in there for a reason. An ant is an insect, an aunt is a person and they are not pronounced the same. For the record, I'm American and I pronounce it correctly.

    I've only just now, from looking it up because of this comment, found out that "fir" is not the same as "fyr" in Danish. "Fyr" is the word for pine, while what English calls a "fir" is relegated to being a subgroup of "gran" (which mainly refers to spruce, like above).

    Dinossaurs are one of the most interesting family trees I know. For some reason, the "dinossaur" family is everything that is descendant from earliest common ancestor between the triceraptops and the modern bird. Another example that is not a dinossaur is pterodactyl (funny how they look like birds and fly, but triceraptops are closer-related with birds than pterodactyl are).

    This is essentially just a clarification of four things that people often categorise together because we need simplification. No person is able to know and "correctly" categorise everything, and in truth I think the real important thing would be for people to know that they simplify, and that everyone around them simplifies things, categories and understandings of things, all the time, simply to function, and that as such, it's okay to be "wrong" about things, because, as we know, no person can know everything, no matter how hard we try or want to.
