Next time you throw a ball in the air, and it doesn’t fly off into outer space, thank gravity.

Bill’s spacing out again… this time with the planets.

This four-part video series presents a detailed review of the important concepts in middle school earth science relating to Earth-Sun-Moon system, characteristics of the inner and outer planets, and fascinating highlights of the universe.

What is a planet? We live on one, but there are others. Are they all like Earth? Is there life on other planets? All About the Planets takes children on a tour of the solar system, explaining vital statistics about each - size, distance fro the Sun, temperature and why some are rocky and solid while others are made entirely of gases.

Students take a tour of our solar system. Visit each of the planets to learn about their special features, sizes, and orbits. Learn about the planets' moons and rings, and how gravity keeps them in orbit. Stop at the sun, discover its immense size, and see sunspots and solar flares. Find out what scientists have learned about the planets through telescopes, space missions, and satellites.

Computer graphics and footage of the planets combine in this magnificent review of our solar system. Learn about the structure of the different planets, the history of human interest in the solar system, and the strides we are taking to become better acquainted with our universe.
