The Sun Earth and Moon Solar System for Kids

you are looking at the solar system we are going to take deeper look at planet earth do you want to join us the earth is the only known planet to have life hold on tight here we go now we are on earth planet full of life that is why it is so important for us to protect and take care of the environment hello earthlings am going to tell you some interesting facts about the planet where you earthlings come from like the other planets the earth rotates around the sun and it takes 365 days to complete full orbit we call this complete revolution thanks to this revolution we have different seasons throughout the year and days and nights have different lengths at the same time the earth rotates around itself and it takes 24 hours to complete full trip this movement is called rotation the earth's rotation is responsible for the change between day and night and for the rising and falling of temperatures did you know that many years ago people thought that the earth was flat like pizza now you can see the earth has the shape of sphere approximately 70 of earth's surface is covered in water did you like this quick trip around the earth now it's time to collect all the information you have learned have good trip you are looking at the solar system we are going to learn about the sun do you want to come the solar system gets its name from the sun because all the planets depend on it hold on tight here we go now we are near the sun the solar system's only star we can't get much closer because the temperature is extremely high the sun is the center of the solar system and all the planets make their orbit around it hello ethan it's so hot i'll tell you some interesting things about this star the sun is enormous its diameter is 109 times bigger than the earth the energy the sun gives off is necessary for life on earth it is important to protect yourself from the sun its ultraviolet rays are very harmful to human skin the sun is ball of hot gas that is made primarily of hydrogen and helium if we traveled on passenger plane from the earth to the sun we would need 20 years to make it there that is definitely long trip did you like this quick trip around the sun now you can go back to earth to share all the information you learned have good trip you are looking at the solar system we are going to take look at the moon do you want to come it is the satellite that orbits around the earth and we can see it in the sky depending on its phases grab on we're headed that way we are now on the moon the only natural satellite that belongs to the planet earth we always see the same side of the moon because it takes the same amount of time to rotate around itself as it does to orbit the earth on the moon there are lot of craters made from meteor showers that crash against the surface be careful hello earthling welcome you to the moon life has never been found here but we know that the force of its gravity allows for life on earth it is responsible for the tides that are on earth and without it the sea level would rise along the coasts on the moon we can find lot of minerals for example elmonite from which we can get oxygen the moon is the only place outside of earth than man has visited the first man on the moon was neil armstrong on the apollo 11 mission in 1969 the distance between the moon and the earth is 384 400 kilometers it's not that close isn't it did you know that we can fit all the planets between them every year the moon gets little bit further away from the earth there is less gravity on the moon than on the earth because of this difference you have to jump to walk like this did you like this quick trip around the moon now you can go back to her to share all the information that you've learned have good trip whoa what trip we have learned so many things about this satellite do you want to keep learning click on the seal and subscribe to the smile and learn channel to keep up to date with all our new adventures
