00:00Okay, Aga-Aga, why are you frowning?
00:04We have a deadline! I don't want to be on Earth anymore!
00:08It's hot! I don't want to be on Earth anymore!
00:10I'm so tired!
00:13I don't want to be on Earth anymore!
00:15Are you tired of being on Earth?
00:17Be careful what you wish for because you might end up in another dimension.
00:22In the solar system, we have 8 planets.
00:24Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
00:32So, where are the Pluto planets?
00:35Wow, it's included in the 5 recognized dwarf planets.
00:39It's also included in 4 more series, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris.
00:45If you don't want to be on Earth anymore, just buy from those 13 planets.
00:50That's if you can live there.
00:52How about living on other planets?
00:58Number 3!
01:00The hottest planet in the solar system is not the closest to the sun.
01:05Mercury is the closest planet to the sun.
01:08It's not the hottest, okay?
01:10It's Venus.
01:12Because Venus's atmosphere is 100 times thicker than Earth's atmosphere.
01:17That's why when the sunlight hits it, the surface of the planet gets hotter.
01:23How hot is it?
01:25875 Fahrenheit or 460 degrees Celsius!
01:29Wow!
01:31It's so hot in Venus that some metals like lead or tinge can melt.
01:36When it rains in Venus, acid rains.
01:39This rain evaporates before it hits the Earth.
01:42Number 2!
01:43If the solar system and the planets are the characters in a drama series,
01:48do you know which planet is suitable to be the love team of planet Earth?
01:53That's planet Jupiter.
01:55Why?
01:57Because it's the savior of our planet.
01:59Because it's so big that it's 318 times bigger than Earth,
02:03the comets pass through it.
02:06That's right.
02:08The comets pass through it before it hits Earth.
02:11Aww, that's sweet.
02:13Because this planet is so big,
02:15the biggest moon in our solar system can be found in planet Jupiter.
02:19This is Ganymede,
02:21which is even bigger than planet Mercury and dwarf planet Pluto.
02:27It has the strongest gravity in our solar system.
02:31That strong gravity is like sucking the rocks like asteroids and comets in our solar system.
02:40And number 1!
02:41Just recently,
02:43the newest planet discovered that can be compared to Earth
02:48and can support life,
02:50is Gliese 12 b.
02:53It's smaller than Earth
02:56and has a temperature of 50 Fahrenheit.
02:59It's estimated that it's just hotter than Earth's temperature.
03:04We need to study more about this discovery.
03:07Gliese 12 is one of the planets that are probably solid
03:11and made of rocks like planet Earth
03:14and not gas giants like Jupiter.
03:16It's one of the planets that may have atmosphere and may have water
03:21because it's in a place that's not too close to its star
03:26so it's not too hot.
03:28It's not too far, so it's not too cold.
03:31Maybe people can live there if we go there.
03:35But it's too far.
03:37It would take tens of thousands of years
03:39to make one of our fastest spaceships.
03:42Out of all those planets, did you like any?
03:45Well, out of all our trivia this morning,
03:48the most amazing thing is that in the entire solar system,
03:51Earth is the only one that can support life.
03:55For now, let's just be grateful and love our own planet.
04:00And what if it's not planet Earth?
04:02Aha!
