Being a fan of The Expanse this is really cool. It really puts the size of a lot of the moons and dwarf planets from the series into perspective. Ganymede for example, was used by pregnant mothers in the outer-system because it was large enough to still have an active core and thus a magnetosphere. Shielding the surface from a lot of radiation. Their main food crops were grown there for the same reason.
Io, Callisto, Europa, Eris, Titan, Ceres, and a few others all make appearances too. It's an amazing series, for those who haven't read/seen it, whether you read the books or watch the show.
Damm Earth is big
Thank you! It looked very XKCD to me, so I was surprised when the source link wasn't to that.
Edit: oops... Meant to reply to the comment with the xkcd link.
Source states:
All Human Skin
Where?
E: found it. Tiny spot northeast of Australia.
Welp, there's my next TTRPG map.
TIL Ganymede is bigger than Mercury?
Why does earth include the oceans though?
Why does this look like bootleg Tamriel sans the high elf island I can't remember the name of fuck off Sheogorath it is not the Shivering Isles.
I guess fact it's mostly gas means I don't have to ask, "where's Uranus?"
But if we're counting the liquid parts of Earth, shouldn't we include the squashy centers of Uranus and Jupiter?
What's the unlabeled one?
/s
There really is an xkcd for everything.
Made me think of lake mobius from hunter x hunter :3 that's way bigger tho
The atmosphere must be intense (incredibly dense, solid on the rocky surface) as I assume all the gas planets are included too, just all over the place :D.
Unless it's a flattt world and the excess gas just fell off.
Pangea is bigger than anyone thought. Cool.
Where is Earth?
Oh, I get why Jupiter our biggest planet is not here. Because its surface is made from gas, not land
Mad tamriel vibes from this.
So all planets are covered in oceans? Brilliant map for sure! /s
I dont really agree with counting the oceans but not counting the gaseous areas of the gas giants, but i guess it getd messy with how to portray it. Portray it as a liquid form of the gases so you have definite volume? Remove the liquids from the equation (but that would create MORE land on earth)? I dont know. It just seems like removing them from the equation creats an extremely small picture, but maybe that's the point.
Where's Jupiter? And Mars is smaller than Earth?
I don't think I understand this map.
