An animation shows a man, Tim, and a robot, Moby, at a campsite. TIM: Most of them are concentrated in the Asteroid Belt, between Mars and Jupiter. They're clumps of ice and dust that each have a unique orbit around the sun. Learn more and understand better with BrainPOP's animated movies, games, playful assessments, and activities covering Science, Math, History, English, and more! (, : Why might the outer planets have many more moons orbiting them than the inner planets? An animation shows the gas and clumps of matter swirling around a bright sphere. It likely had oceans and rivers, and its atmosphere contained more heat-trapping gases. Planet X was the name given for a theoretical planet some astronomers thought existed beyond the orbit of Neptune. The ring is labeled Kuiper belt.. All rights reserved. The eight planets in our solar system are satellites of the sun. Another image shows a lake surrounded by hills of trees. TIM: Saturn is another gas giant, with more than 45 moons orbiting it. An image shows a night sky and stars through a pair of binoculars. Then show the movie once through without pausing. TIM: Dear Tim and Moby, Is there really such a thing as Planet X? What do you think youll learn about the solar system in this movie? TIM: The dwarf planet Pluto, known as a main planet until it was demoted in 2006, is a cold, rocky body even smaller than our own moon. Another view shows clumps spinning around a large central clump. TIM: That means it traps the sun's heat. TIM: Dear Tim and Moby, can you tell me all about the solar system? TIM: Plutos moons, Charon, Hydra, and Nix, are also Kuiper belt objects. TIM: It's huge, with a mass 318 times that of Earth!

An animation shows Jupiter rotating in space and the sun in the background. An animation shows Mercury rotating. TIM: Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. (Predict), What is something new you hope to learn about the solar system? The animation shows objects being pulled into the center of the cloud, forming clumps. The first moon landing, as far as I'm concerned, is one of the greatestmomentsin humanhistory. TIM: First of all, anything that orbits the sun farther than the planet Neptune is called a trans- Neptunian object. TIM: Yeah, theyve been traveling in space for about 35 years now! TIM: Over millions of years, gravity drew a lot of this stuff together, into clumps. An animation shows a cloud of dust and debris circling the sun.

An animation first shows the sun and several other planets surrounded by a ring of gray specks, and then zooms out to show the entire solar system, represented by light purple dots arranged in a spherical pattern against a night sky. TIM: Sedna, another large scattered disc object, hasnt been fully categorized yet. It was named after the Roman god of the sea, probably because its so blue. Tim: Well, the most well-known is Pluto, which was recently reclassified as a dwarf planet. TIM: No, you couldn't go there you'd probably either melt or freeze! TIM: Neptune is the farthest planet in the solar system. Another drawing shows a cluster of rocks in front of a planet at the bottom.

Text at the top right reads: dwarf planet. TIM: The four inner planets are rocky, relatively warm, and have craters. BrainPOP recommends reading the movie description that appears on the Solar System Topic Page to your class. Pluto's orbit intersects with Neptune's. TIM: Yeah, you'd definitely melt on Venus. An animation shows the planet with the questions mark disappearing. TIM: The total amount of planets in our solar system are satellites of the sun that means they travel around it in an orbit. When they get close to the sun, some of their ice forms long, wispy tails that you can sometimes see from Earth! BrainPOP Jr. Games. In the animation, an insert shows a close-up of the red spot. The ellipse representing Plutos orbit is long and narrow and can be seen to intersect the ellipse representing Neptune's orbit. Astronomers believe that more than 4.5 billion years ago, an exploding star created a huge cloud of gas and dust. An image of a dark red planet is shown against a night sky and is labeled Sedna.. TIM: Farther out from the Kuiper belt is an area called the scattered disc. (, What is something new you hope to learn about the solar system?

An animation shows the planets and their orbits in the solar system, moving away from the sun. From, Sam. Others include Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt, and an object named Eris, which is slightly larger than Pluto. What's your favorite thing out there? The animation shows drawings of Ceres and Eris appear in succession. Asteroids are pieces of rock centimeters to hundreds of kilometers wide that wander the solar system. TIM: Bubut their hypothesis was based on faulty calculations of Neptunes mass! Venus is sometimes called Earths sister planet, because of the similar size. Its got perfect conditions for plants and animals: not too hot, not too cold. Tim addresses the camera. As it approaches, its tail grows longer. It started out four and a half billion years ago, as a big cloud of gas and dust out in space, mostly hydrogen and helium. They look smooth from a distance, but up close you can see they're made of chunks of ice and rock. That's why one side gets so hot, and the other gets so cold. It became the sun, and its energy pushed away any nearby gas. That's why the inner planets formed mostly out of rocky material. TIM: Yup, Pluto is also a Kuiper belt object. An animation shows the sun, then pulls back to show the eight planets orbiting around it. BrainPOP recommends reading the movie description that appears on the Solar System Topic Page to your class.
