An animation shows all the lined up planets. in: BrainPOP Transcripts Outer Solar System/Transcript < Outer Solar System View source Transcript An image shows a night sky and stars through a pair of binoculars. TIM: Comets are clumps of ice and dust that orbit the sun. It's actually just a medium-sized star, but for us it's the most important star there is. Tim: Well, the most well-known is Pluto, which was recently reclassified as a dwarf planet. Others include Ceres, the largest object in the Asteroid Belt, and an object named Eris, which is slightly larger than Pluto. A close-up of Mercury shows the gray planet covered in craters. (, What is something new you hope to learn about the solar system? Its dark storm swirls across its surface. Two inserts appear. Jupiter is the largest of these gas giants. There are four rocky, inner planetsMercury, Venus, Earth, and Marsand four gas giants farther outJupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. It was named after the Roman god of the sea, probably because its so blue. The biggest, Titan, is one of the only moons with a thick atmosphere. It forms a distant ring around the solar system. An image of a planet labeled Pluto is shown against a night sky. The other shows an even a closer view, in which floating rocks can be seen. Tim is holding a star chart. In the animation, the view changes to show Charon, Hydra, and Nix in orbit above Pluto. TIM: I know, it's quite a variety of stuff in the solar system, right? Already have an individual account with Creative Coding? In the animation, an insert shows a close-up of the red spot. An animation shows Earth rotating while the moon orbits around it. TIM: Farther out from the Kuiper belt is an area called the scattered disc. All rights reserved. Standing next to him is Moby. An inset shows a closer look at the ice and rocks that make up the rings. The animation shows drawings of Ceres and Eris appear in succession. TIM: Mars is called the "red planet" because of its reddish surface, created by the iron in Martian rocks. It was named after the Roman god of the sea maybe because it's so blue! 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. One shows a plain with a hot sun blazing down on it.

Another animation shows the orbits of the each planet, as well as Pluto's. TIM: The four outer planets are really far from the sun, so they're much colder. TIM: There's no water on Mercury and there's very little atmosphere. The first were discovered hundreds of years ago by Galileo Galilei. Immense gravitational pressure built up at the core of this gigantic clump. The animation shows a large clump of ice floating in space. TIM: For a while, Pluto was thought to be the missing planet.
