Jupiter is the largest of these gas giants. TIM: Mars is called the "red planet" because of its reddish surface. Text at the top right reads: dwarf planet. The ellipse representing Plutos orbit is long and narrow and can be seen to intersect the ellipse representing Neptune's orbit. Tim stops looking at the stars and takes the paper from Moby. The orbits are ellipses. Tim and Moby discuss the pros and cons. Use strategy to up your points! TIM: The total amount of planets in our solar system are satellites of the sun that means they travel around it in an orbit. It was considered the main planet until 2006 when it got demoted to a dwarf planet.

The animation shows five planets traveling along the circles. TIM: Scientists say scattered disc objects are well, Kuiper belt rejects! TIM: Bubut their hypothesis was based on faulty calculations of Neptunes mass! TIM: First of all, anything that orbits the sun farther than the planet Neptune is called a trans- Neptunian object. BrainPOP Jr. Games. TIM: Man, I wonder what it must feel like to be so far from home An animation shows Tim and Moby at their camp site in the middle of dark woods. An animation shows the deep blue planet surrounded by rings. One planet is dark purple with a white ring around its center, and the other is small and brown.

It's nearly three times the height of Mount Everest. TIM: Most of them are concentrated in the Asteroid Belt, between Mars and Jupiter. TIM: Plutos moons, Charon, Hydra, and Nix, are also Kuiper belt objects. TIM: Its been really hard to keep track of these guys, since the signals they emit are so weak and so far away now! TIM: The Pioneer 10 and 11 probes have been out there even longer. No one knows exactly why that is, but some scientists think the planet was knocked around during its early days by some other passing body. What do you think youll learn about the solar system in this movie? 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. In the animation, an insert shows a close-up of the red spot.

An image of an astronaut walking on the moon is displayed on the screen, and then an image of a spacecraft against a night sky is added to the right of it. Choose a word to explore. An image is shown of a gray planet, labeled Eris, against a night sky. Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos. That means they travel around it in an orbit. 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: Yeah, you'd definitely melt on Venus. TIM: But scientists are pretty sure that both of the Voyager probes have passed the termination shock, and are closing in on the heliopause. A close-up image of the planet with a question mark in the middle of it is shown against a night sky. There's quite a variety of stuff in the solar system, right? Far out from the sun is Earth, where we live. It's got just the right conditions for humans, plants, and animals. Another view shows clumps spinning around a large central clump. TIM: Well, not really. One shows a close-up of the concentric rings. A cross-section of the planet shows that its core is much larger than Earth. TIM: But, you know, there probably wont be any more planets found. An animation shows the four outer planets, then zooms in to show Jupiter encircled by a narrow ring.
