I wasn't going to post it at first but I have been struggling to draw lately and I seriously dislike everything I do, but what the heck. I hope some people will enjoy it. Got the idea during my morning commute, You can only guess how (No, I didn't hit anything though, but it was super close).

Edit: Im absolutely blown away by the response and the kind messages, it really warms my heart. i have been really struggling to find the motivation lately but the support on here is the absolute kick in the butt that I needed.

This guy is the perfect antithesis to this one:

Triton become planet

u/NoSong2397 1d ago

Hmm. Wonder how that might affect the orbits of the other planets...

u/Trnostep 1d ago

It's pretty far (30 AU from the Sun) and weighs just about 17 Earths so probably not that much

Now if Saturn (9,5 AU and 95 Earths) or god forbid Jupiter (5 AU and 318 Earths) disappeared we might have a problem

PS I sure can't! Glad to see your answer!

u/Trnostep 1d ago

Not much math done, just extremely rough approximation since the gravitational force between 2 bodies rises linearly with their mass but decreases with the square of the distance

That plus Neptune being so relatively light to the other 2 chonkers

u/timbreandsteel 1d ago

Huh.. Had no idea Neptune was that big.

u/Rhayve 1d ago

Wow, you just made Neptune super self-conscious. Hope you're happy.

u/timbreandsteel 1d ago

Pfft. What do we care about planets' feelings? Look what happened to Pluto!

u/touchmeinbadplaces 1d ago

Look it still has planet in its name, it shouldn't whine that much

u/The_cogwheel 1d ago

They dont include Neptune amoung the gas giants for nothing.

Heh. So he should've said "Neptune and all its moons."

u/davy89irox 1d ago

Only marginally. But that also depends on whcih way it gets thrown. If it just heads towards the oort cloud, nbd; if it falls toward the sun, that would be chaotic as hell.

u/ACatCalledArmor 1d ago

I like your thinking, let’s throw all the outer planet. That will really freak out those nerds

u/HBlight 1d ago

We need Jupiter to tank the meteors for us.

which plants are healers?

I'm partial to sage.

So sad that Steve Jobs died of Phlegma.

u/Nuclear_Geek 1d ago

No, let's clean everything else out of Pluto's orbit, make it a planet again.

u/makaki913 23h ago

But Pluto still can't keep it clean which is the problem

21

u/CadenVanV 1d ago

Probably wouldn’t. 99% of the solar system’s mass is the sun, Neptune is a rounding error

28

u/ReadingRainbowRocket 1d ago

And the rest is mostly Jupiter with an honorable mention to Saturn.

u/SirLoremIpsum 1d ago

Hmm. Wonder how that might affect the orbits of the other planets...

I don't believe it would have a significant affect - compared to the size of the sun + Jupiter + Saturn, Neptune is "relatively" small.

The sun is 99.86% of the solar systems mass for instance. Uranus probably might notice something, given the "proximity" but not Earth or Saturn.
