What happens when Jupiter and Saturn collide? Can you imagine that?

The Sun has eight children, so what would happen if one day Jupiter, the eldest, collided with Saturn, the second? Will we all die together or will one survive? What is the impact on the planet?

On the winter solstice of 2020, Jupiter coincides with Saturn, and the distance between the two is the closest in 800 years. When you enter the telescope**, you will see that the original two stars have split into one, so if one day, the two largest planets collide because they are too close, who will win the battle? Is it really bigger Jupiter?

Jupiter and Saturn are both gaseous planets, mainly composed of hydrogen and helium, and do not have a hard surface, but there may be a core of Stone. However, in terms of mass, there is a big difference between the two, Jupiter is about three times the mass of Saturn, twice the volume of Saturn, and it is also far faster than Saturn, Jupiter's rotation speed is kilometers per second, Saturn's is only kilometers. However, Saturn also has its own advantages, it has foreign aid, Saturn has 150 moons and small moons on its rings, once Jupiter and Saturn are close, Jupiter's gravitational pull will cause these moons to also have a lot of rocks, dust, ice to accelerate.

For example, in 1994, when a comet with a diameter of nearly two kilometers wide hit Jupiter, it also collided, and Jupiter's gravity had torn it to pieces, and when these fragments hit Jupiter under the acceleration of gravity, the power of 300 million atomic bombs** was generated.

When Jupiter and Saturn collide, they merge, which also raises the temperature of the nascent planet's atmosphere, which becomes hotter and even capable of chemical reactions. Eventually, though, Jupiter will completely engulf Saturn, but the energy generated by the collision could destroy Jupiter's original deadly nucleus. Sun Yat-sen University once conducted a simulation experiment that about 4.5 billion years ago, a giant planetary embryo collided with Jupiter, producing energy that destroyed Jupiter's own deadly nuclear star, and then formed the current star nucleus composed of liquid metal, hydrogen and helium.

It is also possible that Jupiter swallowed most of Saturn, and the rest would have been evacuated into space during the impact, and then those escaping parts would form a new planet over a period of hundreds of millions of years for various reasons. But either way, it will cause Jupiter to become bigger, the pressure inside will be stronger, and the temperature will rise, but it will still not allow Jupiter to evolve into a new star, nor can it ignite and fuse.

It will definitely glow, and there will definitely be some material thrown into space, never to return. But the vast majority of matter will still fuse together to form new celestial bodies. There may be only one new (spherical or spheroidal) celestial body, or there may be more than one.

I think it's going to be very loud, and Jupiter is going to be going to be a little bit bigger because Saturn is a little bit bigger and heavier.

Jupiter and Mars will not collide, but if you really want to find someone, you will also think that the Earth will also be destroyed, because some of the debris after their collision will hit the Earth.

If Jupiter and Saturn suddenly collide, which of the two planets would be superior? Jupiter and Saturn are gas giants composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, and while they may have had a solid core, there was once no significant excess. Jupiter will have some significant advantages, it will be about three times the mass of Saturn, almost twice as large as Saturn, and faster.

Jupiter's rotation speed reaches sir, Saturn's rotation speed is only, but Saturn has a wild card for this battle, with at least 150 moons in her two rings. If the planets get closer, Jupiter's strong gravitational pull will cause these moons, rocks, dust, and ice to accelerate closer to it, and some of them will be torn apart. This is what happened in 1994 when Shoemaker Listing 9 collided with Jupiter.

At first, the comet was almost two kilometers wide, and when it crashed, Jupiter's gravity tore it to pieces. The debris struck Jupiter with the force of 300 million atomic bombs, heating Jupiter's atmosphere to nearly 40,000 degrees Celsius.

Saturn's largest moon is more than 2,000 times larger than this comet, and the force of its collision with Jupiter alone will be enormous. If Jupiter and Saturn collide, they will begin to merge their atmospheres and mix together, which will raise the atmosphere of this gas giant, and it will become so hot that Jupiter will have a chemical reaction. Eventually, Jupiter will absorb Saturn.

I can see that you are afraid that the world will not be chaotic......

No, these are not based on science, and we should not believe too much in these rumors and fortune tellers.

Jupiter is the largest object in the solar system after the Sun, while Saturn is the second largest object in the solar system after Jupiter in mass and volume.

Since these two planets are mainly composed of hydrogen, which is also the main component of stars, then an interesting question arises, if Jupiter collides with Saturn and then merges together, will it become another sun?

Unfortunately, this doesn't happen, because the hard indicators to be a star are too high.

A star is defined as a luminous plasma object that is subjected to its own gravity that initiates a nuclear fusion reaction in its core. We know that gravity is a manifestation of gravity, and the magnitude of gravity is proportional to the mass of the object, so only when a celestial body has enough mass can its own gravity trigger a nuclear fusion reaction in the core.

So how much mass is needed? Scientists tell us that the lower limit of this mass is 8% of the mass of the sun, and it can't be lower.

Now let's look at the data, Jupiter has a mass of x 10 27 kg, Saturn has a mass of x 10 26 kg, and the Sun has a mass of x 10 30 kg. Through a simple comparison, we can see that even if the masses of Jupiter and Saturn are perfectly combined, they are nowhere near the minimum standard for being stars.

Of course, if Jupiter and Saturn do collide, it will definitely be a big event in the solar system, and the two giant planets will release a huge amount of energy during the merger, but unfortunately, because the energy is too dispersed, the energy produced in this process is not enough to ignite nuclear fusion.

It is worth mentioning that when Jupiter and Saturn merge into a celestial body, it will greatly disrupt the orbits of the major celestial bodies in the solar system, and the solar system will fall into chaos in a short period ......of time

By the way, in fact, Jupiter still has the hope of becoming another sun. Scientists speculate that in billions of dollars the Sun will become a red giant, during which time the Sun will throw out a large amount of material, and Jupiter, because of its excellent position in the solar system and its strong gravitational pull, may absorb enough mass to become a red dwarf (a low-grade star).

When the two stars meet, the area corresponding to their latitude and longitude will often have disasters, such as **, drought, and famine. Jupiter orbits the Sun once in the year, and Saturn orbits the Sun once in 29046, and the two stars meet every 20 years or so, which is basically consistent with the metaphysical view that 20 years is a fortune.

Jupiter is the largest of the nine planets in the solar system, with a diameter of 11 times that of the Earth and a mass of about 1,000 times that of the Earth. Saturn is second only to Jupiter, but its material composition of hydrogen accounts for a large proportion, so it is relatively light, Western astrology called it the evil star, our country in ancient times called the town star.
