The Size of the Universe: Trying God on For Size
In the first scene, the earth and Venus are bigger than other planets like Mars, Mercury, and Pluto. However, Jupiter and Saturn are much bigger than them. Even, the Sun makes Jupiter and Saturn very small things like toys. The bigger planets continue to appear. Arcturus makes the Sun a little dot. Finally, there is Red Supergiant planet that is hugely bigger than other planets.

What is the Universe Expanding Into?
The video says that if the universe is infinite, there is no edge or boundary. On the other hand, if the universe is finite, we are expanding into something. Then, the boundary is so far away, we can’t see it.

Olympus Mons: 27 km
Mount Everest: 8,849 m
Olympus Mons is three times as tall as Mount Everest.

Katrina: 175 mph (280 km/h)
The red spot on Jupiter - about 25,000 ~ 40,000 kilometers (15,500 to 25,000 miles)

Valles Marineris: 4,000 kilometres (2,500 miles)
Grand Canyon: 446 km(277 miles)
Valles Marineris is about nine times as long as Grand Canyon.

Earth: 12,742 km
Sun: 1,393.000 km (865,570.0707 miles)
VV Cehpei: 1600-1900 R

I think that if America gives up all of its nuclear weapons, America won’t be safe. And I think other countries that have nuclear weapons such as China, Russia, the UK, Israel, Pakistan, France, and India will not give up their nuclear weapons. Also, since North Korea is developing their nuclear weapon, they will not give it up. My opinion is that such countries would not give up nuclear weapons and terrorists also would keep strict watch against these countries.
