They're called the Galilean Moons, and they're almost like little planets. Pluto has an odd orbit that sometimes brings it closer to the sun than Neptune.

Then show the movie once through without pausing. Two objects, labeled Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, marked by Upper Xs, move away from the Earth with their paths shown as dotted curves. ","What is in the inner Solar System? Tim: Eris is actually the largest dwarf planet in the solar system its just a bit bigger than Pluto! It then zooms out to show a big spherical object composed of light colored particles. Planet X was the name given for a theoretical planet some astronomers thought existed beyond the orbit of Neptune. Another drawing shows a cluster of rocks in front of a planet at the bottom.

Moby first looks up, then blinks and looks back down. That's why the inner planets formed mostly out of rocky material. *BrainPOPs Discussion Questions and Prompts align to CCSS Speaking and Listening Standards. TIM: Oh, the things I mentioned are all governed by the suns gravity, which stretches half way to the next star system! Charon partially overlapping it on the left, and two small, gray moons labeled Hydra and Nix above and below it. Each is depicted with rings of different sizes. Far out from the sun is Earth, where we live. Text reads: The Mysteries of Life with Tim and Moby. TIM: Most of them are concentrated in the Asteroid Belt, between Mars and Jupiter. It was named after the Roman god of the sea, probably because its so blue. The spiraling pattern transfixes Tim and he falls asleep as Moby looks at the night skies through the binoculars. TIM: But other important parts of the solar system are governed by the solar wind, a flow of charged particles produced by the sun. TIM: Right, the solar system isn't just planets and the sun there are lots of smaller bodies floating out there, too. Different sized objects scattered around the Kuiper belt are highlighted in blue and labeled Scattered disc.. The sun is on the left of the screen, planets and Kuiper belt to the right of it, followed by the scattered disc and the Oort cloud to the far right of the screen. An image is shown of a gray planet, labeled Eris, against a night sky. Then show the movie once through without pausing. TIM: Others became big balls of mostly gas called gas giants, like Jupiter. The Oort Cloud is even further from the sun. TIM: No, you couldn't go there you'd probably either melt or freeze! Asteroids are pieces of rock centimeters to hundreds of kilometers wide. TIM: Yeah, theyve been traveling in space for about 35 years now! An image of a dark red planet is shown against a night sky and is labeled Sedna..

TIM: Although it's cold and dry now, scientists think Mars was once much more like Earth. TIM: The four outer planets are really far from the sun, so they're much colder. Its got perfect conditions for plants and animals: not too hot, not too cold. In the animation, Jupiter moves out of view and is replaced by a drawing of Saturn. When were you there? TIM: Around Jupiter, there are almost 70 moons. An animation shows Moby blink and his eyes turn into a spinning hypnosis spiral which then expands to cover the entire screen. TIM: Saturn has more than 50 moons orbiting it. Pluto's orbit intersects with Neptune's. TIM: Saturn is another gas giant, with more than 45 moons orbiting it. TIM: The total amount of planets in our solar system are satellites of the sun that means they travel around it in an orbit. An animation shows Mercury rotating. TIM: But scientists are pretty sure that both of the Voyager probes have passed the termination shock, and are closing in on the heliopause. Well, the solar system is our home in the galaxy. The next planet to the left of it is labeled Neptune.. It looks kind of like our moon, and it has one very hot side and one very cold side.
