Fun fact: The sun is the hardest place to get to in the solar system. It’s less dV to leave entirely than to get to Mercury

can you explain why? cuz that doesnt make sense to me

The earth is going around the sun pretty fast, and you need to counteract that speed to get to the sun.

But when you’re leaving you can use the earths orbital velocity to give you a boost.
