Exploring Our Sun and Moon: Shining Starts For Kids| Science Video For Kids| Our Sun and Moon Starts

Storybots! Ta-da! We can see the whole solar system from here. I think we can hear it from here, too. We are the planets of the solar system. Different sizes for everyone. The music never ends. We are such good friends. And we all orbit the sun. We call the sun. Rapping first on this track from the beginning. I'm the center of the solar system. The planets be spinning around me. So hot. I'm roasting, you see. Now I pass the mic to the planet closest to me. Mercury, the smallest planet, smallest Earth's moon. I get super hot and cold, and I spin very slow. I'm Venus. I got mountains and volcanoes that spray. I'm the same size as Earth, but spin the opposite way. Yeah, I'm Earth. I'm the home to every boy and girl. Such a beautiful, beautiful world. I'm Mars, the red planet. I got desert and ice. And I've got two moon mates. That's like one moon for twice. I'm Jupiter, the biggest planet. I'm humongous, gargantuan. I spin the fastest, rap the fastest. Plus, I'm handsome, glam son. Oh, please. I'm Saturn. Check out my beautiful rings. Made up of billions of rocks, dust, and other things. I'm Uranus. I say that with pride. OK, I lied. I'm embarrassed because I'm the only planet lying on its side. I'm Neptune. I'm cold, dark, windy, and mysterious. I'm very stormy, so bring an umbrella. I'm serious. We are the planets of the solar system. Different sizes for everyone. The music never ends. We are such good friends. And we all orbit the sun. Well, we are done exploring the solar system. I am thirsty. Let's explore the rest of the Milky Way galaxy. We're approaching the sun. It's getting pretty hot in here. I'm so hot. Check me out. I'm hot. Yo, everyone. I'm the sun. I'm made of gas like hydrogen and helium. I keep the earth warm and help to grow food. I shine on the beach on guys who say, dude. I set into the west, and on comes night. And then I rise from the east with that golden light. I'm so hot. So hot and bright. 28 million degrees Fahrenheit. I make plants grow like trees and flowers. So powerful. Got that solar power. Make the deserts dry. Make the oceans rise. Don't stare right at me. I could hurt your eyes. I'm just about a million miles wide. I'm so big you could fit a million earths inside. I'm the center of the solar system. Can't you see? Got so much gravity. Planets orbit me. I'm four and a half billion years old. In Spanish, everybody calls me soul. When I'm not around, you'll be feeling cold. Yeah, I shine so bright with my rays of gold. I'm so hot. So hot. It's really hot. Come on, storybots. Show me what you got. How hot am I? So hot. The sun is so hot. I have to wear these. Now I'm so cold. Preparing to land our spacecraft on the moon. Houston, we have a song. It's my time to shine. The day is over now. So it's my time to shine. Good evening. It's the moon. Here to regale you with a tune. I'm so bright up in the sky at night. But the truth is I'm just reflecting light. See, let me help you break it down. The earth and I are spinning around. And I orbit the earth in a loop. You see, the moon is kind of like my hula hoop. We both orbit the sun. He's the big shot. I'm the center of the solar system. I'm so hot. The sun's like a light bulb. And I'm like a mirror. Light bounces off me. And then it appears to the earth below for a lovely view. But animals like wolves who go awoooo. Sometimes I'm full. Sometimes half on. Sometimes I'm crescent. Or it looks like I'm gone. But I'm here in the dark. Just a lonely moon. Hoping that somebody will visit me soon. I'm covered in dust. And I'm made of rock. So come see me soon. And go on a moonwalk. It's my time to shine. Both at day and at night, we can see the moon shine. It's my time to shine. I'm planting this flag on the mountain I climbed. One small step for a story bot. One giant leap for story bot kind. We are currently orbiting planet earth. I'm picking up some noises. Sounds like cool music. Such a beautiful, such a beautiful, such a beautiful, beautiful world. I'm the earth. And for what it's worth, 25,000 miles is my dearth. I've got more than 7 billion people living on me. All across my amazing geography. Check out my mountains, valleys, trees so tall. And I got lakes, rivers, and waterfalls. Volcanoes, craters, swamps with alligators. Tropical islands at my equator. The north and south poles have lots of ice. Only polar bears say. This weather's nice. I've got so much land. Yeah, I'm so immense. I got seven. Seven different continents. North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Antarctica, and Australia. But the biggest thing everybody can see is that I got a lot of water all over me. I have oceans with lobsters, whales, otters. Three quarters of me is covered in water. I orbit the sun. I'm so hot. That's his line. And the moon orbits me. It's my time to shine. I fill it with life, both big and small. The most beautiful planet of all. Such a beautiful, such a beautiful, such a beautiful, beautiful world. It is the home to every boy and girl. It's a beautiful, beautiful world. I'm getting homesick. Me too. Computer, take us home. Do you see anything? The stars are out tonight. I'm a star. I'm a big, big star. I'm a star from afar. Yes, you are. Yes, so am I. We are balls of hot gas that shine in the sky. There are trillions. And trillions of us. That's a lot. Even the sun is a star. It's so hot. There are lots of other stars. Like him. And me. And a bunch of us together form a galaxy. There's billions of galaxies. Lots of stars. Do you understand? There's more stars than space in all of Earth's grains of sand. And from land with your eye to the night sky display. You can see the Earth's galaxy. The Milky Way. Stars are different sizes. And we can morph. There are super giants. Giants. Mane sequins. And dwarfs. And we form constellations. Which are patterns of stars. Before GPS, that's how you know where you are. We're the Big Dipper. We're the Belt of Orion. We're the Gemini twins. We're Leo the Lion. People think we twinkle, but that's not true. The light's just playing tricks when it shines on you. And shooting stars are. No, they're not. They're meteors burning up when they get too far. Might come true. Well, I hope. Look up in the night sky or look through a telescope. I'm a star. There's a star. I'm a star. There's a star. I'm a star. I'm a big, big star. There are lots and lots of stars. That's true. There really are. I made a wish. What was it? I'm not telling. Time machine has taken us back 65.5 billion years to the time of dinosaurs. This is really old school. Tyrannosaurus. That's the chorus. Tyrannosaurus. That's the chorus. Tyrannosaurus. That's the chorus. What's the chorus? Tyrannosaurus. Hey, I'm a Tyrannosaurus Rex. So big you gotta give me respect. I'm as tall as a house. You can't push me around because I'm heavy. 16,000 pounds. I've got strong legs and a tail for support. My tail is long, but my arms are short. See, my arms can't touch. And what's even more, I'm not even sure what to use them for. But my mouth is big and my teeth are scary. Over 50 teeth. How sharp are they? Very. Big, long teeth make it easy to eat. And I'm a carnivore, which means I eat meat. I got a good sense of smell, hearing, and sight. So I can go hunting both day and at night. Yeah, I'm not very fast, but that don't mean a thing. I'm the king of the dinos. It's good to be king. Tyrannosaurus. That's the chorus. Tyrannosaurus. That's the chorus. Tyrannosaurus. That is the chorus. What's the chorus? Tyrannosaurus. Wow, his teeth are really big. I'm just glad he eats meat and not storybots. We are now in the Jurassic period. Look at that tall tree. That's not a tree. My neck's so long and my neck's so strong. I can bounce my head up and down while I'm rapping my song. What's up? I'm an Apatosaurus. I'm the biggest thing in this whole forest. Got a long, long, long, long neck. Don't get it twisted. I'm one of the biggest animals that ever existed. When I walk, it sounds like thunder. Is there anyone bigger than me? I wonder. T-Rex? Triceratops? Velociraptor? You can squash us with your toes. That's right, I'm the biggest. Nobody wants to fight. Nobody's at my height or in my eyesight. I can whip my long tail to scare others away. I can live to be 100 years old. Happy birthday. I eat plants and eat rocks to help me digest. Got nostrils on my head, big heart inside my chest. But the part that's best gotta give me respect. Got a long, long, long, long, long, long neck. My neck's so long and my neck's so strong. I can bounce my head up and down while I'm rapping my song. Her neck is long and her neck is strong. We can bounce our heads up and down while we're rapping this song. Dinosaur elevator going up. Good thing we are not afraid of heights. Paint for yourself. I wonder if there are friendly dinosaurs. That's pretty cool. One, two, three. Check out bones. One, two, three. Check out bones. I'm a triceratops. I love it in this place. Triceratops means three horned face. What do I use them for? Scientist debate. Maybe for defense or to find a mate. But I love my horns. Three up on my grill. I'm also really special because I have a frill. A frill? Yeah, a frill. You heard what I said. It's a plate of bone on top of my head. Cool. Sort of looks like a crown. I'm a king of a kind. Hey, I'm the king of the dinos and I'm hungry. Never mind. The T-Rex would eat me if he had the chance. But I'm a herbivore. I only eat plants. Got hundreds of teeth. To chew my veggie food. Got a small pointy tail. But I'm a big dude. I move pretty slow and got hooves on my feet. But check it. Come on. These horns are pretty sweet, right? One, two, three. Check out bones. One, two, three. Check out bones. One, two, three. Check out his horns. One, two, three. I wish I had a horn. Here you go. We've seen some pretty cool dinosaurs so far. But one that has things all over his back. My back is covered in flakes. My tail is covered in spikes. And that's why I look great when I'm rockin' the mic. I'm a stegosaurus. What's up, yo? I may have a small brain and move pretty slow. But I've got a spiky tail. I can swing and attack. And I've got all these plates on top of my back. Not plates for food, dude. They're part of my body. They make me attractive. I'm kind of a hottie. I can use my plates for attractive mates. So we can go out on stegosaurus dates. I also use my plates to generate heat and scare away predators. Retreat. My plates are so cool I can make them turn red. I got a huge body and a very small head. And I got big cheeks for food. I go back and store. But I only eat plants because I'm an herbivore. I got lots of friends and we're moving to Earth. And we all are super good looking. Word. Our backs are covered in plates. Our tails are covered in spikes. And that's why they look great when they're rockin' the mic. Uh-oh. An asteroid is approaching. Let's go back in the time machine. Asteroid. We are now in the Cretaceous period. Looks like there's some dinosaurs approaching. Fast. Velociraptors, velocirappin'. When we run up, who knows what'll happen. Velociraptors, velocirappin'. Don't get too close or teeth will start snappin'. When it comes to dinosaurs, we are small. Six feet long and three feet tall. But our size doesn't matter at all. We're quick and speedy when it's time to crawl. Long, flat snout with a real strong jaw. Jagged teeth and a real sharp claw. When we eat food, we like it raw. Shimmy, shimmy, ham, shimmy. Are you shimmy at all? We look like birds you may have guessed. We lay eggs inside a nest. We've got feathers so we stay well dressed. I'm the king of the dinos, even I'm impressed. Long, strong legs with lots of power. Runnin' 24 miles per hour. We don't want to eat that flower. Give us meat and we'll devour. Velociraptors, velocirappin'. When we run up, who knows what'll happen. Velociraptors, velocirapting. Don't get too close or teeth will start snappin'. Why are you wearing all those flowers? So they don't eat me. Good idea.
