Nowadays I don’t watch tv because of Internet. I’m interested in YouTube more than tv. I love to watch videos on my laptop in YouTube using Internet than tv program because I have an. I have the uh, ability, the power to pause the video if I’m going somewhere. To skip some part which is not possible in tv of course. And the advantage of YouTube is there are uh, plenty of videos related to science about a specific topic. And the recent video which was related to science is about the astronomy, uh, about our solar system. I thought in the beginning, in my childhood I thought uh. There was a thought in my mind that why, why the planets, the moons, the astterids in our solar system never collides with the sun. Why they have a very uh, very low gravit force compared to sun, uh, which is thousand times or million times greater than that of uh. Small objects. But I thought there was a thought in my mind why they didn’t collide to each other. Then in that video he was talking, there was a guy who was talking about this topic. He told me that, he told his viewers that our uh, sun, our uh, planets are not stableen. Of course we are revolving around the sun, but the sun itself is not stable. It is circulating around the center of our galaxy. It was so interesting for me. We all travel in speed, uh, equivalent to 17,000 km/second just 1 second ago we passed 17,000 again and again due to this. Thus the uh. Centrifugal and centripetal. First, we are never colliding with the sun due to this high speed. And it was very interesting for me.

Nowadays, I don't watch much TV because of the internet. I'm more interested in YouTube than traditional television. I love watching videos on my laptop using the internet because I have the ability to pause the video if I need to go somewhere. I can also skip parts I'm not interested in, which isn't possible with TV. And the advantage of YouTube is that there are plenty of videos related to science about specific topics. Recently, I watched a video about astronomy, specifically about our solar system. In my childhood, I used to wonder why the planets, moons, and asteroids in our solar system never collide with the sun. I thought, why do they have such a low gravitational force compared to the sun, which is thousands or millions of times greater than that of smaller objects? I wondered why they didn't collide with each other. In the video, a guy was talking about this very topic. He explained that our sun and planets aren't actually stable. While we revolve around the sun, the sun itself isn't stationary. It's actually circulating around the center of our galaxy. This was so interesting to me. We're all traveling at a speed equivalent to 17,000 kilometers per second. Just one second ago, we passed 17,000 kilometers, and we continue to do so. This constant motion creates centrifugal and centripetal forces. The high speed is the reason we never collide with the sun. It was a very interesting and insightful video.
