Solar System Orbit Video Solar System orbit video with the orbit periods of all 8 planets correct in respect to each other. This Solar System video shows how each of the planets orbit the Sun in the same anti-clockwise direction, with the inner rocky planets orbiting much faster than the outer gas giant planets. The rotation period (and direction) for each of the Solar System planets is also shown accurately in terms of their relative rotations speeds to each other. Their are 8 planets in the Solar System, and 5 dwarf planets; Solar System Planets (in order of distance from the Sun) Mercury 0.55 Earth Mass 0.40 Astronomical Units (AU) from the Sun (Earth = 1 AU) Venus 0.81 Earth Mass 0.70 AU from the Sun Earth 1.0 Earth Mass 1.0 AU from the Sun Mars 0. Earth Mass 1.5 AU from the Sun Jupiter 318 Earth Mass 5.2 AU from the Sun Saturn 95 Earth Mass 9.5 AU from the Sun Uranus 14 Earth Mass 19.2 AU from the Sun Neptune 17 Earth Mass 30.1 AU from the Sun All of the planets in the Solar System orbit the Sun in the same approximate plane, though they each have a slight inclination from the Sun's equator. This inclination ranges from 3 to 7.1 degrees. The Solar System is thought to have condensed from a rotating cloud of gas and dust. Most likely the remnants of a previously exploded star. The rotating gas and dust slowing began to clump together under the influence of gravity. Eventually the body at the center of the cloud gained enough mass to become sufficiently hot and dense for thermonuclear fusion to begin, and our Sun was born. The planets went on to be formed from the remains of the gas cloud which formed into a flattened disk. As with the Sun, gravity's influence caused larger and larger bodies to come together, eventually forming the 8 planets and hundreds of moons and other bodies that habit the Solar System today. This video does not show the dwarf planets, though they will be included in a future video. There are 5 recognised dwarf planets in the Solar System. Dwarf Planets (In order of distance from the Sun) Ceres (located in the Asteroid belt) - 4.6 year orbital period Pluto (located in the Kuiper belt) - 248 year orbital period Haumea (located in the Kuiper belt - 283 year orbital period Makemake (located in the Kuiper belt) - 309 year orbital period Eris (located in the scattered disk) - 557 year orbital period To see more Solar System and space videos, subscribe to my channel, Solar System Videos.

This helps wiyh sience

Thank you for the video!, it helped my understanding of the solar system improve. :)

I may sound like a dumbass but do the planets all orbit on the same plain like that or do they orbit in ball shape at following different plains.
-
where is sun??
-
Why is the sun small?
-
Here's one for you. Guess what? All the planets are MOVING at the SAME speed. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
-
2 of our planets spin clockwise and Pluto's orbit is not on the same plane as the rest of the planets. I am not telling you which ones, because you can google it and learn for yourself. :-)
-
Why is your Sun tiny? Why arent your orbits elliptical?
-
Why is spin not set for Venus at 1:30? Do you know Venus spins in different direction than rest of the planets.
-
hey myname is orbint
-
So the earth orbits the sun as it is moving in a forward motion/line and
so earth does orbit the sun from side to side?
So are following the sun in the galactic.
If this is true would not the earth orbits have to increase in speed as it moves ahead and around the sun? -
Why is the sun smaller than jupiter in this vid? LOL you can fit all the planets 32 times in the one sun
-
where did you get this background music? :/
-
Why is it so small
-
Great video and nice animations!
-
i cant work this out if we are spinning at 1000 rpm but we still the view the sun the moon as if they where motion less then how does it work the moon being a distance away must orbiting us at a much faster speed and if that's spinning to how can we view craters that appear to be standing still
and then each planet faster and faster and then the sun then the distant stars even faster
but if you was viewing the moon from a position closer to the poles or may be the very north pole where you do not spin atall would the moon travel across your sight slower or faster bloody hell i cant even ask the question and make it sound right hope you know what i'm trying to say -
Beautiful explanation .....
-
Explained the solar system!!!

Replace background music with useful commentary
