You could fit every planet in the Solar System between Earth and our moon simultaneously.

I have a feeling we would have a lot of problems if you did though.

It's definitely not recommended by the few cosmology sources I've read.

Cosmology sources, sure, but have you checked any cosplay sources?

That’s it. I am going as a gravity well this year.

I will wear plain clothes and go up to the person in my social circle most likely to ‘get it’.

I will hug them, not let go while I explain the idea in their ear. We have to go everywhere together that evening with the explicit purpose of recruiting others in that mission. There is no leader of a gravity well, except the center of mass. Which means things might get goofy.

If I can’t convince anyone to play, I will take that big tiddy goth girl and her friends up on their offer to play xbox.

Fuck you for making me look this up. Only Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune would fit together. Venus, Mars, and Mercury are too much.

Depends on which part of the orbit. Perigee (closest point) is ~ 354,491 km surface to surface. Apogee (farthest point) is ~ 397,291 km surface to surface. At Apogee you could got them all. At perigee not at all.

I think our oceans would leave earth, tide-wise speaking

I bet I could miss those, too.

I could? I think you overestimate my power.
