How big is Aurelion Sol? (League of Science)
So Aurelion Sol is a star forger. The first time we saw him, he held a star in his hand and then crushed it. Stars are pretty big. Pretty damn big actually. Some of the biggest things in the Universe, yet this celestial dragon uses them as weapons and play things. So how big would a certain celestial dragon have to be in order to hold and toss around stars the way he does? Well here's my best attempt to answer that question, using math.
In the trailer we see him holding a star that he created, and the diameter of the star seems to be very close to the length of his finger. You can view the trailer for reference, and in the end I am only guessing. His finger is curved, and the finger actually starts below the star, so I can truly only my best to estimate from here on. So assuming that a star in the League of Legends universe is around the same size as stars in our universe, the average star would be about 600,000 miles to 1,000,000 miles in diameter. We'll use a happy medium and go with our local star, which is 864,000 miles in diameter. This means that Aurelion Sol's finger is ABOUT 864,000 miles long, or 1,390,473 Kilometers. These numbers are astronomical, but that's just his finger. It gets better.
Using the picture that showcases Aurelion Sols abilities, I counted how many pixels long his finger was (for reference, I was using the frame where he is using his ult because he stretches himself out for the most part) and then did a bit of math. Finger Length ~ 864,000 miles long Finger Length ~ 10 pixels 10 pixels = 864,000 miles head to tail length = 181 pixels 1 pixel = 86,400 miles 181 pixels = 15,638,400 miles or 25,167,565.21 Kilometers
It goes without saying, that is incomprehensibly large. So large, in fact, that the human mind cannot picture it. So in order to attempt to convey how large Aurelion Sol truly is, I made a few impossible scenarios.
-Usain Bolt can run at a top speed of 45 kilometers per hour, or 28 miles per hour. Running at Usain's max speed constantly, it would take you 559,279 hours, or 63 years to run from head to tail.
-The average speed limit in the United States is 126km/h. Traveling at this speed it would take you 199,742 hours, or 23 years to traverse him.
-If you fired a bullet at Aurelion Sol's head while standing on his tail, it would take the bullet 9,202 hours, or a little over a year to reach his head.
-At the speed of light, it would take 84 seconds for light, the fastest thing in the universe, to travel the length of Aurelion Sol's body. 84 seconds may not sound like a lot, but just remember that light can circle the earth 8 times in 1 second. (Speed of light is about 300,000 kilometers per second.)
So in conclusion, our celestial dragon is obviously a big guy. If Cho'Gath truly could become big enough to devour the world, he would still barely be a grain of sand in comparison to our new titan of the rift. Very nice Riot!
shroom
Immense dragon.....gets enslaved by
wait a second...concerning his lenght
That means
's alpha strike is faster than light !
