Always time for one of my favorite fun facts:
The moon is so far away from the earth that all the planets in the solar system could fit between the earth and the moon.
I mean, not for long, but it would be worth it.

WTF?! I have to check this.
4 0 ReplyOk shortest distance earth moon surface: 340 000 km.
- Diameter Jupiter: 143 000 km
- Diameter Uranus: 51 000 km
- Diameter Neptun: 49 500 km
- Venus: 12 000 km
- Mars: 6 800 km
- Mercury: 4 800 km
Earth: 12 800 km
Damn I even can fit an another earth in there and it is still plenty of space
6 0 ReplySaturn?
2 0 ReplyIs 116 500 km, so we're missing the mark with a little more than 43 000 km.
4 0 ReplyWell 340 is the shortest distance of the orbit
2 0 ReplyTrue! But that was also what you used 😜 I looked up the average distance though, which seems to be 385 000 km. Which means we would fit everyone with about 2 000 km to spare 😃

The interesting part is that it would be kind of a close fit, astronomically speaking
