The sphere gets bigger and brighter until it explodes, pushing gas away and leaving the eight planets orbiting the sun. TIM: No, you couldn't go thereyou'd probably either melt or freeze. Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos. TIM: Mars is called the "red planet" because of its reddish surface, created by the iron in Martian rocks. Choose a word to explore. In the animation, Uranus moves out of view and is replaced by a drawing of Neptune. But wait, there's more! When they get close to the sun, some of their ice forms long, wispy tails that you can sometimes see from Earth! Each is depicted with rings of different sizes. (Set goals). TIM: It also has the tallest mountain in the solar system, Olympus Mons. The four inner planets are tiny in comparison to the four outer planets. TIM: Scientists think that comets come from far regions of the solar system, called the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud. An animation shows Jupiter rotating in space and the sun in the background. TIM: Well, planetary scientists arent sure whether Sedna is one of the farthest scattered disc objects or part of another region: the Oort cloud. TIM: I know. TIM: Saturn is another gas giant, about 100 times more massive than Earth. While scanning the night sky with a pair of binoculars, Tim is interrupted by Moby, giving him a letter asking if there is a 'Planet X'. Limited Student Access . Try your hand at computer programming with Creative Coding! 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. Tim is lying on the ground in a sleeping bag partially sticking out of a camping tent. An animation shows the blue-green planet with its tilted rings. Manage all your favorite fandoms in one place! TIM: It spins really slowly, just one and a half times for every trip around the sun. The eight planets in our solar system are satellites of the sun. Two inserts appear showing two different views of the surface. An animation shows the red mountain towering over the smaller Mount Everest.

They look smooth from a distance, but up close you can see they're made of chunks of ice and rock. One planet is dark purple with a white ring around its center, and the other is small and brown. Another animation shows floating objects coming together and forming the planet Jupiter. ","What is the Sun? The animation shows Moby take a cloth and clean the lens on Tim's telescope. The side closest to the sun glows red, while the other side is covered in ice. In the animation, the view of the asteroids moves out of view and is replaced by a drawing of Pluto. (, : What can you infer about the temperature on Mars compared to Earth? A close-up of Mercury shows the gray planet covered in craters. TIM: Sure. TIM: Its been really hard to keep track of these guys, since the signals they emit are so weak and so far away now! (, Apply new knowledge;Identify cause/effect, BrainPOP recommends reading the movie description that appears on the. There are four rocky, inner planetsMercury, Venus, Earth, and Marsand four gas giants farther outJupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. An animation shows the pale yellow planet encircled by large rings. Your friend, Charlotte. It's actually just a medium-sized star, but for us it's the most important star there is. TIM: Saturn is another gas giant, with more than 45 moons orbiting it. Have your students signed up forindividual accounts? Theres a stormy Great Dark Spot on Neptune thats kind of like the Great Red Spot on Jupiter. (Compare/contrast; Draw conclusions), Look at the four related movies at the bottom of the page. Searching.. educators resources search ELL topics. An animation shows the dry, rocky surface of Mars transition to a lake. The animation zooms in to Venus' surface. TIM: The farthest that humans have ever gone is the moon, but several spacecraft have been to the outer regions of the solar system. Some of them formed hard hunks of rock called the terrestrial planets Earth is one of these. Mercury is the closest to the sun, and it looks kind of like our moon. TIM: Yeah, I guess Earth's my favorite, too. TIM: Bubut their hypothesis was based on faulty calculations of Neptunes mass! A curved, orange, vertical line is added along the boundary between the Kuiper belt and the scattered disc and is labeled termination shock.. An animation shows the sun, then pulls back to show the eight planets orbiting around it. The text trans-Neptunian objects is still written above the arrow. TIM: It's huge, with a mass 318 times that of Earth! It's tilted so that it looks like its lying on its side! An animation shows a cloud of dust and debris circling the sun. TIM: Earth is one of these terrestrial planets. Lightning from the yellow gas strikes the red, rocky ground. TIM: I know, it's quite a variety of stuff in the solar system, right?
