This video is a review of the Earth and Moon Cycles series. In this video, we explore the relationships and interactions between the Earth, Sun, and Moon. We learn about how the Earth's rotation causes day and night, and how the varying...

This video is a quiz over the Earth and Moon Cycles series. In this series, we explore the relationships and interactions between the Earth, Sun, and Moon. We learn about how the Earth's rotation causes day and night, and how the varying...

This video introduces the Earth and Moon Cycles series. This series explores the fascinating cycles of our planets and the moon. Colorful animations help students easily understand the causes of day and night, the seasons, as well as...

How the Moon affects daily tides and drives extreme spring tides, when the Sun and Moon align. Physics - Our Solar System - Learning Points. The Moon creates and controls the tides. Its gravitational pull causes ocean water to bulge...

This video reviews the topics covered in the Earth, Sun, and Moon series. In this video, we dive into the fascinating relationships between the Earth, Sun, and moon. We explore how the Earth's rotation creates day and night, and how...

Venture to the outer reaches of our solar system to discover Uranus and Neptune, the seventh and eighth planets from the Sun. Uncover the unique features of Uranus, including its sideways spin and bluish-green appearance, and dive into...

This visualization shows the unusual motions of Earth and the Sun as viewed from the South Pole of the Moon. The animation compresses three months (a little over three lunar days) into two minutes. The virtual camera...

This video is a quiz over the topics covered in the Earth, Sun, and Moon series. In this series, we dive into the fascinating relationships between the Earth, Sun, and moon. We explore how the Earth's rotation creates day and night, and...

The earth has an axial tilt of about 23.5 degrees. While this tilt is responsible for shaping our planet's climate and seasons, it also played a crucial role in shaping life on earth. What would have happened if the...

In the three years since it first provided images of the sun in the spring of 2010, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) has...

In this video, the teacher explains the concept of the Earth's rotation and its effect on day and night. They use a toy spinning top as an analogy to demonstrate how the Earth spins on its axis, causing the sun to appear to rise and...

The moon is Earth's natural satellite. We explore its formation, size, and orbit, as well as its phases and the occurrence of solar and lunar eclipses. This video provides a concise overview of the moon's characteristics and its...

Want to navigate the solar system without having to buy a spacecraft? Jon Nguyen demos NASA JPL's "Eyes on the Solar System" -- free-to-use software for exploring the planets, moons, asteroids, and spacecraft that rotate around our sun...

Mercury and Venus have no moons because of their close proximity to the Sun. Any moon orbiting around them is likely be swallowed by the mammoth gravitational pull of the mighty Sun. All planets except for Mercury and Venus have moons....

Our moon is on the move. Each year, it drifts an estimated 1.5 inches further away from Earth. And in the process, Earth's rotation is actually slowing down. What if one night, the moon simply disappeared? Would we miss it? A full moon...

In this video, we explore the evidence that the Earth is spinning on its axis. We learn that day and night are a result of the Earth's rotation, with the sun appearing to rise and set as our planet turns.

What is the difference between day and night? How is this governed by the Earth's movement? Physics - Our Solar System - Learning Points. The Sun generates light. The Earth spins on its axis. A full rotation of Earth takes 24 hours. The...

An increase in Earth’s rotational speed could have various impacts on life: ranging from increased earthquakes and tsunamis to a shortening of the length of the day. People could be floating in central Africa while the polar ice might...

Students are taken on an exciting animated trip to the outer reaches of our solar system. Images from NASA and the Hubble space Telescope illustrate the Giant Red Spot on Jupiter, Saturns' beautiful rings, the tilted rings of Uranus, and...

Physics teacher and solar astronomer Simon Foster explores how we developed our understanding of the universe and uses our changing models of the solar system to explain how science works.
