Why are some planets big and some small? The answer is complicated and reveals details about how and why planets form at all! Lecture: 03:13; Lecture Q&A: 32:10; Panel Q&A: 38:30 Date: November 16, 201 Lecturer: Dr. Eve Lee Title: Planets Big and Small Abstract: Planets come in a variety of sizes. Even in our own solar system, Jupiter is approximately ten times larger than the Earth, and Mercury is about three times smaller than the Earth. Why are some planets larger/smaller than others? I will discuss the physics that determines the final size of the planets and what it tells us about how such planets are born, both in solar and extrasolar systems.
