TIM: It also has a permanent storm on its surface called the Great Red Spot, which is way bigger than the entire Earth! There are four rocky, inner planetsMercury, Venus, Earth, and Marsand four gas giants farther outJupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. An animation shows a man, Tim, and a robot, Moby, at a campsite. The image of the sun, the planets, and the Kuiper belt is shown. Text reads: The Mysteries of Life with Tim and Moby. An animation shows a man, Tim, and a robot, Moby, at a campsite. In the animation, Mercury moves off and is replaced by a view of Venus. (, : Why might the outer planets have many more moons orbiting them than the inner planets? An animation shows Mars, with two gray moons orbiting the planet. Terms of Use; Privacy; Trademarks and Copyrights; Accessibility; Do Not Sell My Personal Information Two inserts appear showing two different views of the surface. Standing next to him is Moby. The first is labeled Orcus, the second is labeled Quaoar, and the third, the smallest one, is labeled Varuna.. (, : What can you infer about the temperature on Mars compared to Earth? They formed the gas giants, like Jupiter. TIM: Yeah, I guess Earth's my favorite, too. TIM: That means it traps the sun's heat. Others include Ceres, the largest object in the Asteroid Belt, and an object named Eris, which is slightly larger than Pluto. TIM: Neptune is the last gas giant and it has more than a dozen moons. ","Is Pluto a planet? TIM: Are there are there others like you? Text reads: The Mysteries of Life with Tim and Moby. It then zooms out to show a big spherical object composed of light colored particles. "},"story":{"type":"story","instructions":"Code a conversation to show what you know about the solar system. The animation focuses on the swirling red storm on Jupiter's surface. Two inserts appear and show the rocky surface. Choose a word to explore. Searching.. educators resources search ELL topics. TIM: Ooh, I think I see Neptune! Two inserts appear. All rights reserved. It likely had oceans and rivers, and its atmosphere contained more heat-trapping gases. TIM: The Oort cloud is thought to be made of billions of small objects, mostly comets. In the animation, the view changes to show Charon, Hydra, and Nix in orbit above Pluto. The spherical object is labeled Oort cloud.. 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. Some of them formed hard hunks of rock called the terrestrial planets Earth is one of these. An animation shows a cloud of dust and debris circling the sun. TIM: The smaller clumps became the planets that we know about today. The other shows an even a closer view, in which floating rocks can be seen. Some astronomers think a huge collision in its early days might have done that. Its rocky core alone is at least 10 times bigger than Earth. Jupiter is the largest of these gas giants. The surface is divided into shaded areas. One shows moons circling Neptune. TIM: It's huge, with a mass 318 times that of Earth! The one on the left shows the Voyager 1 spacecraft and the one on the right shows the Voyager 2 spacecraft. TIM: But scientists are pretty sure that both of the Voyager probes have passed the termination shock, and are closing in on the heliopause.

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. That means lots of liquid water, which all life depends on. TIM: It spins really slowly, just one and a half times for every trip around the sun.
