The first were discovered hundreds of years ago by Galileo Galilei. As each condition is mentioned, four inserts show different parts of Earth: an ocean; buildings amongst trees; people; and animals. In one of these areas, there is a large red spot. The heliopause is shown as a dark orange semicircle to the left of the termination shock with a bigger radius than the circle that represents the termination shock. Far out from the sun is Earth, where we live. Venus is almost the same size as Earth; its sometimes called Earth's sister planet. In the animation, Moby falls down onto the grass with a big "Clunk!" Each is depicted with rings of different sizes. ","What is the Sun? Explain how each is connected to the Solar System topic. Watch it again, this time using the discussion prompts. An animation shows Venus, with gassy yellow and orange swirls covering its surface. The history of the solar system is long but fascinating\u2014and it probably started with a bang! Atoms began fusing together in a nuclear reaction that continues to this day. An animation shows the sun, then pulls back to show the eight planets orbiting around it.

An animation shows Tim peering into a telescope pointed at the night sky. Another animation shows the orbits of the each planet, as well as Pluto's. Some astronomers think a huge collision in its early days might have done that. Your friend, Charlotte. It was named after the Roman god of the sea maybe because it's so blue! An animation shows gas suspended in the starry universe. It forms a distant ring around the solar system. Text reads: Oort cloud. Tim and Moby discuss the pros and cons.

TIM: Sedna, another large scattered disc object, hasnt been fully categorized yet. An animation shows an icy comet speeding toward the sun. Different sized objects scattered around the Kuiper belt are highlighted in blue and labeled Scattered disc.. TIM: Like the stuff in the Kuiper belt, objects in the Oort cloud are thought to have originated way back when the solar system was just starting up. That's why one side gets so hot, and the other gets so cold. For all eleven planets, each ellipse lies entirely within the surrounding ellipse. TIM: The four outer planets are really far from the sun, so they're much colder. An animation shows the red mountain towering over the smaller Mount Everest.

TIM: The Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud are areas in the far regions of the solar system where small bodies like comets are thought to originate. TIM: Jupiter is the largest, and one of those gas giants I was mentioning before. TIM: Its been really hard to keep track of these guys, since the signals they emit are so weak and so far away now! But wait, there's more! Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos. Others include Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt, and an object named Eris, which is slightly larger than Pluto. Tim: Eris is actually the largest dwarf planet in the solar system its just a bit bigger than Pluto! TIM: But, you know, there probably wont be any more planets found.
