What would people from venus be called? On this explainer, Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice hash out what organisms from each planet would be called.
What are people from Earth called? Learn how we name exoplanets and what we might call people from the moons of Saturn. We work our way through each planet (and dwarf planet) and explore what organisms from there would be called.

What's a better name for Terrans?
I wonder what name we will give you meet suck
Why don't we just ask what their name is? I mean we named dogs or cats if they were capable of communication? Let's turn the tables if an alien came to Earth, and told us that we were called zoboomafoo because of their classification system, we would be annoyed and attempt to correct them.
"Hi, I'm Venerial" "My name is Eric and I'm an Alcoholic"
What's up with the trans dude on the far right in the thumbnail?
Shout out to Pluto back as a planet as confirmed by Neil Degrasse Tyson 😉
And aliens froh Phobos and Deimos? Phobias and Deamons?
I laughed and learned a lot. 😂😂😂
Inhabitants of Uranus? I trust they're microscopic. The genital term for that is venerians? Smarter every day!
Chuck was on fire
As a white European (born in Europe, not on Europa), I've gotta appreciate Chuck's joke 😂 (disclaimer: I come from a country with no colonial past)
Uranus is Greek not roman, if roman it would be Caelus. Uranus is the father of Cronus(in the roman pantheon he is known as Saturn)
Have just found and subscribed to the channel. Just watched the vid from 2 years ago about defining "nothing". I wondered that as intergalactic space expands, are new particles created as part of the process? Or does entropy just spread existing particles into the newly created space? In which case the particles per cubic metre must decline over time (which it may be possible to prove or disprove given enough time if current technology isn't sensitive enough to measure). Taking another leap of ignorance on my part, if new particles ARE created by expansion, could they be the origin of dark energy and dark matter and perhaps be the cause of accelerating expansion (a kind of feedback loop)? PS I miss Carl Sagan so much (my hero too).
Terra bull.
A fact you may not be aware of. It was a Russian Doctor who first discovered venereal diseases his name was Uri P. Rottchacockoff. So now you Know. 👽
I fkin love chuck
Jupiter should be Jupitians 👀
Juptian [joop-shihn] all the way
Congratulations! 🏆 Pluto is back as a planet 🤣
That one was very funny! Keep up the good work
This again??
Him: Hi I am Venerial! Me: keep away from Uranus !😂
De Grasse is not a scientist….or a very poor one. I've caught him out on basic basic physics more than once.
Make Pluto a Planet Again Degrasse 2023
My Dad used to call me his SUN son because anytime I asked for money he said "Son you are S O L!"
(do i have to explain?)
humimoid
Lunarians: One piece fans getting excited for King the wildfire <3
0:26 i don't think aliens would use any of the roman etc. names we humans have fabricated here on Earth, because how are aliens supposed to know our language history of Terra or Earth? surely they'd have their own name for Earth, or if they're not judgemental, they would just call us aliens until inquiring what we wish to be called.
PLUTO is officially a planet again – neil said so,
In my fan fiction Superman movie, our Sun is "Mu Rada" = the 12th brightest star in the Kryptonian mythological [it looks like a "Chinese dragon"] constellation of Rada. This is the exact opposite viewpoint as LHS-2520 – which Dr. Tyson says is what we, on Earth, see Rao = Krypton's parent star as being in our constallation of Corvus, the crow.
All the people of YourAnus are called AHoles 😂 sounds like a Rick And Morty episode
Wateran !!!! Waterian? as we are mostly made up of Water & Earth/minerals … coming from the planet OxyWaterian ??? of the planet Terra
Can we turn all the space junk into land? Start with a space island and then grow it with more trash?
i loved this lol
poor pluto, puerto ricans understand lol
11:42. Without Chuck, it would have been 5:00 max! He brings so much to the show!
@ 7:19 "…How are you? I'm clean…" 🤣🤣
