About this episode
If Jupiter was the size of a basketball, then the Earth would be a tiny little grape. But the Sun makes even Jupiter look like a joke. The Moon, on the other hand, is a little easier to grasp at around 2,160 miles in diameter, which is only less than a third of Earth. Let’s find out what would happen if the Moon suddenly became brighter than the Sun! Several scary scenarios are possible here.
