Why Our Solar System Is Weirder Than You'd Think

The video explores the discovery of exoplanets and the uniqueness of our solar system. It discusses the nebular hypothesis, which explains the formation of solar systems, but highlights anomalies like Mars' size. Jupiter's influence, particularly through the Grand Tack Model, is examined as a factor in these anomalies. The video also delves into the irregular orbits of objects beyond Neptune, suggesting possible interactions with passing stars. Understanding these phenomena helps us learn about Earth's formation and the potential for similar planets elsewhere.
