TIM: Hey Moby, I think I see aliens. TIM: Scientists think that comets come from far regions of the solar system, called the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud. TIM: The outer planets were once rocky, too, but their gravity captured the gas pushed away by the sun. An animation shows Pluto rotating in space. An animation shows Venus, with gassy yellow and orange swirls covering its surface. All rights reserved. An image shows a big, brown planet labeled Pluto, a smaller, purple moon labeled. Another animation shows floating objects coming together and forming the planet Jupiter. Stop at the following times in the movie and ask questions or prompt a discussion to keep students focused and to assess their understanding before moving on: Timecode 1:12: Why did Earth become an inner planet? TIM: Jupiter is the largest, and one of those gas giants I was mentioning before. (, Look at the four related movies at the bottom of the page. (, How does its distance from the Sun affect each planet in the Solar System? Different sized objects scattered around the Kuiper belt are highlighted in blue and labeled Scattered disc.. TIM: But Pluto wasnt massive enough to fit the estimates of Planet Xs probable size. Two inserts appear. TIM: Thats where the solar wind gets stopped in its tracks by particles from the rest of outer space! But for us, it's the most important one around. 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. There are four rocky, inner planets\u2014Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars\u2014and four gas giants farther out\u2014Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Only a portion of Jupiter can be seen and the other planets seem very small in comparison. ","What is the Sun? ","joke_text_2":"Give me a ring sometime!

Tim addresses Moby while turning his head to look at him. As it approaches, its tail grows longer. TIM: No, you couldn't go thereyou'd probably either melt or freeze. He hugs the ground and has a large grin on his robotic face. That means they travel around it in an orbit. The camera zooms in on Tim and Moby. Although it's pretty dry right now, scientists think Mars was once much more like Earth, possibly with oceans and rivers flowing on its surface. An animation first shows the sun, the planets, the Kuiper belt, and the scattered disc objects. TIM: Mars is called the "red planet" because of its reddish surface.

Asteroids are pieces of rock centimeters to hundreds of kilometers wide that wander the solar system. TIM: The smaller clumps became the planets that we know about today. Each is depicted with rings of different sizes. It started out around four and a half billion years agoBack then, our solar system was just a cloud of gas and dust, probably left over from the explosion of a star.

An animation shows Jupiter rotating in space and the sun in the background. TIM: Others became big balls of mostly gas called gas giants, like Jupiter. It is depicted with blotches of white and gray regions. TIM: Yeah, you'd definitely melt on Venus. It became the sun, and its energy pushed away any nearby gas. They formed the gas giants, like Jupiter.

(Identify cause/effect), Timecode 2:28: What can you infer about the temperature on Mars compared to Earth? TIM: Uranus is a gassy planet with small gray rings and more than 25 moons. You probably know Saturn by its amazing set of rings. TIM: The dense, carbon dioxide atmosphere on Venus traps so much heat, the surface can get up to over 450 degrees Celsius. Text reads: Oort cloud. The text trans-Neptunian objects is still written above the arrow. What's your favorite thing out there? The ring is labeled Kuiper belt.. The biggest, Titan, is one of the only moons with a thick atmosphere. TIM: Plutos moons, Charon, Hydra, and Nix, are also Kuiper belt objects. TIM: Ooh, I think I see Neptune! Two inserts appear. An animation shows the gas and clumps of matter swirling around a bright sphere. An image of a dark red planet is shown against a night sky and is labeled Sedna.. To get started, all you have to do is set up your teacher account. In the animation, Moby falls down onto the grass with a big "Clunk!" Astronomers believe that more than 4.5 billion years ago, an exploding star created a huge cloud of gas and dust. TIM: Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. TIM: It also has a permanent storm on its surface called the Great Red Spot, which is way bigger than the entire Earth! One shows a close-up of the concentric rings. The smaller planet is labeled Pluto.. TIM: The sun's not all that big compared to other stars. It's way bigger than our entire planet, and it's been raging for centuries. The surface is divided into shaded areas. Your friend, Charlotte. The sphere gets bigger and brighter until it explodes, pushing gas away and leaving the eight planets orbiting the sun. Text reads: Oort cloud. TIM: Well, the sun is at the center of our solar system.
