This video explains the solar system and all the planets that revolve around the sun. The beginning of the video shows how all the planets orbit around the sun and then explains why the sun is so hot (hydrogen reactions between molecules). Then, the video goes into detail on the orbit and climate of each planet in the solar system, starting with the planet closest to the sun, Mercury, and ending with the planet farthest from the sun, Neptune. The video also talks about Pluto and that it is now considered a region instead of a planet.
The solar system is fascinating, but can be difficult to understand and visualize. This video shows an animation of how each planet spins on its axis and how each planet revolves around the sun in their unique orbit. When I read about the solar system, it’s hard to imagine how everything orbits together, but this video puts all the pieces together and is easy to understand. It is a supplemental piece that enhances my knowledge and understanding of how our solar system works.
