I mean, so is the Sinai peninsula but it does say that the map is not drawn to scale. So I just assumed that those pieces of land are very very small in the map and thus unable to be seen at the distance pictured. Quiz maker's prerogative.

Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are given away by the "Type" column (and, to a lesser extent, Earth and Jupiter). You might just as well give the planets and make it the largest objects other than planets.

This quiz isn't meant to be especially difficult. I'm making the assumption that people who don't know the planets probably aren't going to get it from that column, but even if they do I don't think it's that bad. The planets don't seem to be the competitive part, given that all of them are typed in by ~98% of the quiz takers, but there are plenty of other more challenging answers that fewer people get. Thank you for the suggestion.

QuantumMechanist

Apr 21, 2021
Haha yeah this one made me laugh too. Gonggong is a water god in Chinese mythology. The International Astronomical Union's criteria for naming objects like Gonggong is that is must be named after a mythological figure pertaining to creation. Gonggong happened to be associated with water, ice, and the color red, which fit all the criteria. For a time after discovery before it was found to be red and when it just had a numerical name, its nickname was Snow White.

When you talk things that are "in" the Solar System, you're thinking of things that are gravitationally bound by the Sun (Sol). The Sun is more than "in" the Solar System, it kind of is the Solar System, in that there is no Solar System without Sol.

Everything in the solar system originated from the same cloud of gas that condensed out with the sun at the centre. If the sun “is” the solar system, then so are the planets, moons and other weird objects that I first learned about from this quiz.

Why are Haumea and Makemake listed as "Dwarf planet?" with a question mark? Haumea was declared a dwarf planet by the IAU on September 17, 2008, and Makemake was declared a dwarf planet on July 11, 2008.

Hi,

Dwarf planet designation is in a weird place where several bodies are stuck being called a dwarf planet by one group of people and something else by another group, so I had a hard time figuring out the specifics.

It looks like you're right though, so I'll have that fixed.

Yeah. There are Hypothetical Quasi Stars that would even swallow Uranus. Even the Port Cloud would be overheated if The Quasi Star would replace the sun. A quasi Star has a black hole as it's core and the Star slowly gets eaten by it.

The solar system is about 6000 suns in diamaeter, but this is half, so about 6,000 * half the width of the sun. I'm pretty sure the measurement doesn't include Kuiper Belt objects. At its greatest distance, Sedna might be over 10,000 sun-diameters from the center.

The real answer is that Jetpunk scales the SVG map down to fit the page so it'd all just look like a bunch of dots.

Fun fact: there is a hypothetical planet called Planet 9 like 600~ Astronomical Units away from sun. And if he is real, it would be slightly smaller than Neptune and would surpass Uranus in temperature and will be the New coldest planet in the Solar system. It also got suggested that it could be a black hole or a Asteroid. But there were 2 other Hypothetical Planets/stars: Nemesis and Tyche. They 2 got proven wrong. Nemesis should have been the Twin of the sun but flied away from reasons. Snd Tyche; idk. This planet just got proven wrong. But Vulcan would be an Interesting Theory tho
