New Video of giant Jupiter rising above the city of Perth! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXQbgPy7rtA Solar System Video showing the 8 planets of the Solar System orbiting the Sun. As we move out from Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, towards the gas giant planets of the outer Solar System, each of the planets take longer to orbit the sun. The planets in order of size are; Mercury Mars Venus Earth Neptune Uranus Saturn Jupiter When listed in terms of distance from the Sun, the order is as follows; Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune. All of the planets orbit the Sun in an anti-clockwise direction. Most also rotate on their axis in an anti-clockwise direction. The exceptions to this rule are; Uranus - Which rotates on it's end like a bowling ball Venus - Which rotates clockwise, but very slowly. Venus rotates so slowly that a day on planet Venus is longer than a year! The planet with the fastest rotation in Jupiter, which rotates every 10 hours. So fast that it causes the planet to flatten out a little. In this Solar System video, the distance between the planets is not to scale. In the real Solar System the distances are vast. The size of the planets in this Solar System video is also just an indication of their relative size. In reality Jupiter is many more times the size of the Earth. The planets would also not create shadows on each other as they do in this video. Other bodies that exist in the Solar System but are not included in this Solar System video include, The Dwarf Planets (of which Pluto is one), The asteroid belt (which sits between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter), and the Ort Cloud (which sits beyond the orbit of Neptune) I hope you find this Solar System useful. Feel free to use it for educational purposes in your classroom when teaching kids about the Solar System.

nice little sun how wrong to scale this is
-
When and how exactly can we see a planet that is inside our elliptical orbit?
Venus looks awfully high in the sky for a planet that is always out of our night time field of view. -
why did the make ploto a dwarf planet
-
the sun is not stable according to Quran. it is moving.
" والشمس تجري لمستقر لها ذلك تقدير العزيز العليم"
"And the sun runs his course for a period determined for him: that is the decree of (Him), the Exalted in Might, the All-Knowing" -
That's interesting.
-
This proves the heliocentric model is false...tell me at what point in their orbits could you ever see Mercury or Venus at night from earth...the fact that we can see them at night is proof heliocentrism is a lie....
-
The close up version of earth orbit around the sun is rotating the wrong direction.
-
Where's the moon
-
wrong displyed..... venus rotates clockwise. speed of the planets is also not in the exact ratio.
-
thank you
-
looks good enough to me?
-
according to NASA it takes around 4 years for the earth to be near mars again so i guess this video is not showing the accurate spinning speed.
-
thats not how the gas giants revolve they really slow
-
earth and every planet except for Venus and Uranus rotate COUNTER clockwise due to axis tilt towards sun - we are fat at the equator too so.. sun's gravity pulling us counterclockwise
-
14 secs in, Venus is in between the Sun and Earth. What is this called and how often does it happen? Love the video.
-
thx for video
-
The Sun, and planets, along with the stars actually rotate around the Earth. Fact
-
is it true Venus is the only planet that rotates differently than the other planets?
-
Some people are just ungrateful little shits. If you don't like the video, click on a different one instead of bitching about the inaccuracies. Thanks for the upload.

how about explaining the retro and prograde movements of the celestial bodies with respect to the sun
