To put that in some sort of perspective, NOAA's highest resolution weather model uses 3000m grids and they are "only" simulating the thin layer of atmosphere over a single continent.
- sandworm101 6y agoBut the NOAA's weather grids are probably populated with a greater number of variables. And they have a vertical dimension/gradient that isn't present in the homogenous blocks of material simulated in the stars.
- jetrink 6y agoI only mean to point out that 500m is quite detailed, particularly in terms of the vast scale of a star. I wasn't commenting on the relative sophistication of the models or anything like that.
