TIM: The moon is the sixth planet in the sky, next to the sun between Mars and the Earth. Gravity drew this stuff together into clumps, eventually forming the sun and the surrounding planets. TIM: Neptune is the farthest planet in the solar system. Birds fly in the sky. An image is divided vertically into three equal parts and shows three round bodies of different colors decreasing in size from left to right. Mars has two moons and the tallest mountain in the solar system called Olympus Mons. TIM: The sun's not all that big compared to other stars. They formed the gas giants, like Jupiter. An animation keeps extending the arrow from Neptune until no planets are visible. TIM: Mars is called the "red planet" because of its reddish surface. Learn more and understand better with BrainPOP's animated movies, games, playful assessments, and activities covering Science, Math, History, English, and more! To get started, all you have to do is set up your teacher account. The animation shows objects being pulled into the center of the cloud, forming clumps. Another yellow arrow labeled interstellar wind is added to extend from the Oort cloud to the line labeled heliopause.. An animation shows Mars, with two gray moons orbiting the planet. Moby thinks and then extends his arms. Asteroids are pieces of rock centimeters to hundreds of kilometers wide. The ellipse representing Plutos orbit is long and narrow and can be seen to intersect the ellipse representing Neptune's orbit.

Outer Solar System is a Science video of BrainPOP aired on May 14, 2002. The animation focuses on the swirling red storm on Jupiter's surface. A close-up image of the planet with a question mark in the middle of it is shown against a night sky. TIM: On its surface, there's a permanent storm, called the Great Red Spot. An animation shows Earth rotating, with the moon orbiting around it. TIM: Today, people just use the term Planet X to mean some undiscovered major planet of the solar system. A cross-section of the planet shows that its core is much larger than Earth. Another animation shows the orbits of the each planet, as well as Pluto's. TIM: Well, not really. The diagram expands to show a third planet and its orbit to the right of the previously shown two planets. TIM: The four inner planets are much smaller than the four outer ones. An animation shows the sun, then pulls back to show the eight planets orbiting around it.

Tim: Eris is actually the largest dwarf planet in the solar system its just a bit bigger than Pluto! The text trans-Neptunian objects is still written above the arrow. When it gets close to the sun, the dust and ice form long, wispy tails that you can sometimes see from Earth. It became the sun, and its energy pushed away any nearby gas. For best experience, access this project full size. The sphere gets bigger and brighter until it explodes, pushing gas away and leaving the eight planets orbiting the sun. Then Neptunes orbit is added and an arrow pointing away from Neptune and the sun is added. TIM: Over millions of years, gravity drew a lot of this stuff together, into clumps.

TIM: Well, planetary scientists arent sure whether Sedna is one of the farthest scattered disc objects or part of another region: the Oort cloud. TIM: There's no water on Mercury and there's very little atmosphere. An animation shows Tim peering into a telescope pointed at the night sky. TIM: Farther out from the Kuiper belt is an area called the scattered disc. As each condition is mentioned, four inserts show different parts of Earth: an ocean; buildings amongst trees; people; and animals.

An animation first shows the sun, the planets, the Kuiper belt, and the scattered disc objects. It's actually just a medium-sized star, but for us it's the most important star there is. An animation shows all the lined up planets. Another, similar line labeled heliopause is added to the right of the line labeled termination shock, so that the arrow labeled solar wind points right to it. It is depicted as a blue-green sphere with a small white vertical ring. In the animation, Saturn moves out of view and is replaced by a drawing of Uranus. TIM: Pluto has an odd elliptical orbit that sometimes brings it closer to the sun than Neptune. TIM: So the search for Planet X was kind of pointless An animation shows the camera panning across stars in the night sky. That's why the inner planets formed mostly out of rocky material. Outer Solar System is a Science video of BrainPOP aired on May 14, 2002. Watch it again, this time using the discussion prompts.

The screen is split in half vertically and displays Eris on the left and Pluto on the right. Standing next to him is Moby. He hugs the ground and has a large grin on his robotic face. They look smooth from a distance, but up close you can see they're made of chunks of ice and rock. TIM: For a while, Pluto was thought to be the missing planet. All rights reserved. An image shows chunks of material orbiting in the Kuiper Belt. TIM: By the way, Pluto isnt the only dwarf planet. Contact your administrator for guidance on teaching this topic.

TIM: Jupiter is the largest, and one of those gas giants I was mentioning before.
