    There seems to be some confusion about how there are some moons that orbit their planets retrograde. These are moons that are captured objects, objects whichs did not form alongside the planet. These are known as irregular moons, different from the regular moons which formed with the planet and thus orbit along its plane.

    And Pluto's very different orbit (likely due to similar gravitational interactions with Saturn or Jupiter) was very much a part of why it was "voted off of Planet Island". EDIT: snate56 has corrected me, that it was voted off for it's size. So... I guess size does matter... EDIT #2: and Emilia Little has informed me that it simply hasn't cleared it's orbit. Let's see if IAU changes it's mind again in the next 10 after debating the value of using a word adopted from astrology: "planet."

    All the 'planets' and 'moon' and all other luminous objects in the 'universe' rotate the same direction because they are floating in the liquid hydrogen layer approximately 120 miles above 'Earth'. These luminous objects are rotating around the 'North Pole'; 'Earth is in the center of the 'universe'. The 'stars' are simply crystalline minerals similar to diamonds that emit light when are electromagnetically charged. The 'planets' are artificial satellites as is the 'moon', all of which resist the flow of the liquid hydrogen. Sunlight is the effect caused by the interaction between the electromagnetic force field located about 250 miles above 'Earth'; there is an artificial satellite composed of superconducting material that creates a plasma field when interacting with the electromagnetic force field, which encloses 'earth'. 'Earth' ('existence' / 'reality') is created from electromagnetic energy and consciousness; each 'atom' that composes 'matter' is simply a force field; objects appear solid because one force field resists another. Bonus answer: the sky is blue because it is composed of liquid helium that is a fluorescent gas, as is argon, neon and xenon that each emit colors that create the sunrise and sunset. Our 'World' is simply an artificially created bio-habitat for biologically engineered organisms; we are in a 'zoo'.

    I witnessed my first total solar eclipse in 2017. I had been brushing up on solar system astronomy in preparation, so I had planetary positions and relative distances mapped out in my head, hoping I'd get to see a few during totality. What I didn't expect was when the sun and moon came into alignment, and all the planets came into stark visibility, was a remarkabe visceral conception of the solar system's scale and my tiny tiny position within it. Watching the wel-known moon creeping over the sun's disk in real time until at last it blotted it out completely, gave me just enough intuitive grasp of AU-scale to suddenly feel like I was standing on the floor of a solar-system -sized cathedral, looking up into a first person perception of the great vault. The shift in perspective was breathtaking and so vertigo inducing that I had to sit down for the rest of totality, as to not fall over. My total perspective vortex included actualy *seeing* the planetary plane al at once. It was extraordinaire.

Long after we're gone, the cloud and dust from the remnants of solar system might be recycled in this way to form a new generation of stars. Our existence, including our crisis, is nothing but a petty blip in the vastness of the universe. Yes the knowledge gives me existensial crisis, but it's also awe inspiring. I hope you and your little family is well and healthy. Take care.

    Also, you will find that the planetary plane is 90 degrees from the sun's polar axis. If you take a weight on a string and spin it about as you rotate, you will find that the weight moves to this 90 degree angle from your axis of spin, and any force applied to change this angle will only be temporary.

    "IF" my latest TOE idea is really true, (and I have a gravity test to prove or disprove that portion of the TOE idea, just not the resources to do so), but 'if' true, then the 'gem' photon is the energy unit of this universe that makes up space and time itself and would also potentially be it's own self causal event, and hence, the true eternally existent absolute somethingness that all things come from and are made up of. Here is a copy and paste of a part of my comment to another individual on another YT channel in a discussion concerning 'cause and effect': I can clearly see what you are saying about the effect of a cause in itself may be a cause for a later effect. And in that regard, yes it could be seen as being the same. But a 'cause' usually comes before an 'effect'. And in that context, if something never ever changes, the cause brings about an effect (no change) which in itself is a cause (no change) which then brings about an effect (no change),......., and both the cause and effect are identical and no change occurs. But now, if some state of existence changes somewhere in the process, either via a cause that is not identical to the effect or an effect that is not identical to a cause, then change occurs. But for a change to occur that causes some later effect still puts a cause before an effect. One total state of existence changing to bring about another total but different state of existence. Logically speaking, I can't see how one could have a different state of existence (effect) from a previous state of existence that was not identical (cause) to bring about the later different state of existence. And sure, that later effect might possibly be the cause to future effects and so on and so forth and possibly life happens and evolves in a cause/effect/cause/effect.... kind of way. And in essence, 'if' for example my latest theory of everything is really true, that the pulsating, swirling 'gem' photon is the basic energy unit of this universe that brings about everything in this universe, including even numbers themselves for math to do what math does, a singular energy unit with 3 different modalities, each modality acting 90 degrees from the other two, while the basic structure of the 'gem' photon itself never changes, it's the interaction with other 'gem' photons in existence whereby other future effects occur in a cause and effect kind of way. And sure, later effects become the cause of later effects and so on and so forth. But the pulsating, swirling 'gem' photons themselves would eternally exist as they themselves make up space and time itself. Eternally the same, but yet interactions with other like 'gem' photons brings about change. (But I fully acknowledge that this TOE idea is dependent upon the results of my gravity test.) But in the context of this discussion, it is a possibility at this time of how reality truly is. In essence, the basic pulsating, swirling 'gem' photon would be both the 'cause' and the 'effect' all contained within itself and in that context, both the 'cause' and 'effect' would be identical. * Added note: The universe ALWAYS existed in some form and did not have a beginning, nor might it ever end. The creation accounts in the Bible and other religion's belief systems, as well as the singular 'big bang' theory, are all just fairy tales.

    @@benthere4380 Well then: a. How did the singularity eternally exist and then 'bang' one day? b. Science says that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, a fundamental principal of physics. So, where did the one iota of energy come from to trigger the singularity to 'bang'? c. What forces of nature existed to allow the singularity to exist and 'bang'? d. What forces of nature allowed our current forces of nature to come into existence and stay in existence unchanged for so long? And then also: "IF" modern science is correct concerning the singular 'big bang' and how our current forces of nature came into existence, and that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, and that the universe is still expanding thereby making energy in this universe less and less dense: a. What is going to occur to this universe and all in it probably 'when', not 'if', the forces of nature 'evolve'? Edit: Since it was expansion of the singularity that supposedly brought our current forces of nature into existence and the singularity is still basically expanding. There would be no reasonable reason why the forces of nature shouldn't 'evolve' one day. 1. BPC: Blink, Poof, Change: In the blink of an eye the forces of nature 'evolve' and wipe out the entire universe and all in it, but yet we retain our consciousness somehow, someway, somewhere, in some state of existence? OR, and more probably: 2. BPG: Blink, Poof, Gone: In the blink of an eye the forces of nature 'evolve' and wipe out the entire universe and all in it, including our consciousness? 3. And possibly occurring in the very next moment of the expansion of this universe. * So, is modern science truly correct concerning how our current forces of nature came into existence or aren't they? And if we all die in the end anyway, does anything or anyone ultimately matter anyway what is really true or not? At least one species truly has an actual conscious existence throughout all of future eternity for life itself to have continued meaning and purpose to, OR none do and life itself is all ultimately meaningless in the grand scheme of things. So, which is it?

    Average actually is more misleading. The total momentum of the "system" (rings, moons or orbiting planets) is the SUM of the momentum of each individual sattellite. Average would imply that after summing the momentum of the parts, you would divide by the total number of objects to get total momentum which is not correct. " Cancelation" implies that objects with negative momentum (orbiting the opposite direction) will simply be subtracted from the total momentum of the system, canceling out some momentum of other particles moving on the positive direction. An average would be the correct way to estimate the "total" velocity of the system, not momentum.

I think there is still some mystery about why most planets orbit most stars in a common plane. There may be A LOT of planets in the universe that orbit stars in many different planets. We just aren't looking for them yet because of lack of technological tools. There are valid simulations of star formations that create many different planes of orbits around stars.

    I must admit, I really thought that the Coriolis force would have a bigger effect. After all, the gas cloud would be in orbit around the center of the galaxy and, as it began to collapse, the outer parts, which would be moving faster, would "miss" then center and head to the leading part of the cloud in the galactic orbit. The inner part, moving slower, would head to the trailing part of the cloud. Much like what happens to a cyclone.
