In the animation, the view of the asteroids moves out of view and is replaced by a drawing of Pluto. TIM: Scientists say scattered disc objects are well, Kuiper belt rejects! A diagram shows two planets and their orbits. We can't find the project you're looking for. TIM: On its surface, there's a permanent storm, called the Great Red Spot. The animation shows a close-up of the sun. Some astronomers think a huge collision in its early days might have done that. *BrainPOPs Discussion Questions and Prompts align to, Wake: Tales from the Aqualab SnapThought Prompts. The one on the left shows the Pioneer 10 spacecraft and the one on the right shows the Pioneer 11 spacecraft. An animation shows the planet with the questions mark disappearing. (Set goals). In the animation, Jupiter moves out of view and is replaced by a drawing of Saturn. TIM: Scientists think that comets come from far regions of the solar system, called the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud. Have your students signed up forindividual accounts? Another animation shows the orbits of the each planet, as well as Pluto's. Watch it again, this time using the discussion prompts. The animation shows a drawing of the planets traveling along circles around the sun. When they get close to the sun, some of their ice forms long, wispy tails that you can sometimes see from Earth! One shows moons circling Neptune. TIM: Right, the solar system isnt just planets and the sunthere are lots of smaller bodies floating out there, too. The eight planets in our solar system are satellites of the sun. Tim: Well, the most well-known is Pluto, which was recently reclassified as a dwarf planet. Gravity drew this stuff together into clumps, eventually forming the sun and the surrounding planets. But how does it make our calculators work? They look smooth from a distance, but up close you can see they're made of chunks of ice and rock. Charon partially overlapping it on the left, and two small, gray moons labeled Hydra and Nix above and below it. In the animation, Uranus moves out of view and is replaced by a drawing of Neptune.

The sphere gets bigger and brighter until it explodes, pushing gas away and leaving the eight planets orbiting the sun. An animation shows the dry, rocky surface of Mars transition to a lake. In one of these areas, there is a large red spot. An image is divided vertically into three equal parts and shows three round bodies of different colors decreasing in size from left to right. Hearts float above Earth. Planet X was the name given for a theoretical planet some astronomers thought existed beyond the orbit of Neptune. An animation shows all the lined up planets. A curved, orange, vertical line is added along the boundary between the Kuiper belt and the scattered disc and is labeled termination shock.. But wait, there's more! The animation focuses on the swirling red storm on Jupiter's surface. The animation zooms in on Jupiter. TIM: That means it traps the sun's heat. Our solar system is also home to asteroids, comets, dwarf planets such as Pluto, and the distant objects of the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud. TIM: It's huge, with a mass 318 times that of Earth! The other shows white, gray, and black areas on the blue surface.

What's your favorite thing out there? The next planet to the left of it is labeled Neptune.. All of the parts of the diagram are labeled and a horizontal red arrow labeled gravity goes through the image and points from the Oort cloud to the sun. TIM: The dense, carbon dioxide atmosphere on Venus traps so much heat, the surface can get up to over 450 degrees Celsius. It started out around four and a half billion years agoBack then, our solar system was just a cloud of gas and dust, probably left over from the explosion of a star. It's way bigger than our entire planet, and it's been raging for centuries. If you An interactive tutorial for finding and using Challenge 1999-2023 BrainPOP. As each condition is mentioned, four inserts show different parts of Earth: an ocean; buildings amongst trees; people; and animals. TIM: Pluto has an odd elliptical orbit that sometimes brings it closer to the sun than Neptune. A diagram of the solar system is shown.
