In the animation, the view of the asteroids moves out of view and is replaced by a drawing of Pluto. (Set goals). Solar System Discussion Prompts and Pause Points, What do you think youll learn about the solar system in this movie? The animation shows a drawing of a circle of rocks around the sun and planets at the top. Choose a word to explore. When were you there? TIM: The total amount of planets in our solar system are satellites of the sun that means they travel around it in an orbit. Some of them formed hard hunks of rock called the terrestrial planets Earth is one of these. It was named after the Roman god of the sea, probably because its so blue. An animation shows the deep blue planet surrounded by rings. Try your hand at computer programming with Creative Coding! The fourth from the sun is Earth, where we live. The arrow labeled gravity is removed and another, yellow horizontal arrow pointing from the sun extending to the middle of the scattered disc and labeled solar wind is added.

When it gets close to the sun, the dust and ice form long, wispy tails that you can sometimes see from Earth. An animation shows four large moons next to Jupiter. TIM: But other important parts of the solar system are governed by the solar wind, a flow of charged particles produced by the sun. But for us, it's the most important one around.

That's why the inner planets formed mostly out of rocky material. Text added above the arrow reads: trans-Neptunian objects. Two inserts appear showing the axis of the planet perpendicular to the plane containing the ring. The sphere gets bigger and brighter until it explodes, pushing gas away and leaving the eight planets orbiting the sun. The animation zooms out to show a large proportion of the rocks form a circle around the sun and lie between Mars and Jupiter. The surface of Venus can get close to 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. It makes an intermittent beeping sound that fades as the spacecraft moves farther and farther away. TIM: Yeah, you'd definitely melt on Venus. Our solar system is also home to asteroids, comets, dwarf planets such as Pluto, and the distant objects of the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud. In the animation, an insert shows a close-up of the red spot. TIM: Right, the solar system isn't just planets and the sun there are lots of smaller bodies floating out there, too. TIM: Well, the sun is at the center of our solar system. TIM: The sun's not all that big compared to other stars. An animation shows the spacecraft moving away from the camera into outer space until it eventually disappears. An animation shows the planet with the questions mark disappearing. Tim goes on to explain about space beyond Neptune, as well as some space probes and planets. The sun gets larger and wispy tails appear behind the clump of ice.
