Solar System Orbit Video\r
\r
Solar System orbit video with the orbit periods of all 8 planets correct in respect to each other.\r
\r
This Solar System video shows how each of the planets orbit the Sun in the same anti-clockwise direction, with the inner rocky planets orbiting much faster than the outer gas giant planets.\r
\r
The rotation period (and direction) for each of the Solar System planets is also shown accurately in terms of their relative rotations speeds to each other.\r
\r
Their are 8 planets in the Solar System, and 5 dwarf planets;\r

\r
All of the planets in the Solar System orbit the Sun in the same approximate plane, though they each have a slight inclination from the Suns equator. This inclination ranges from 3 to 7.1 degrees.\r
\r
The Solar System is thought to have condensed from a rotating cloud of gas and dust. Most likely the remnants of a previously exploded star. The rotating gas and dust slowing began to clump together under the influence of gravity. Eventually the body at the center of the cloud gained enough mass to become sufficiently hot and dense for thermonuclear fusion to begin, and our Sun was born.\r
\r
The planets went on to be formed from the remains of the gas cloud which formed into a flattened disk. As with the Sun, gravitys influence caused larger and larger bodies to come together, eventually forming the 8 planets and hundreds of moons and other bodies that habit the Solar System today. \r
\r
This video does not show the dwarf planets, though they will be included in a future video. There are 5 recognised dwarf planets in the Solar System.\r
\r
Dwarf Planets (In order of distance from the Sun)\r
\r
Ceres (located in the Asteroid belt) - 4.6 year orbital period\r
\r
Pluto (located in the Kuiper belt) - 248 year orbital period\r
\r
Haumea (located in the Kuiper belt - 283 year orbital period\r
\r
Makemake (located in the Kuiper belt) - 309 year orbital period\r
\r
Eris (located in the scattered disk) - 557 year orbital period\r
