Take a quick tour of our Solar System with this National Geographic 101 video. It introduces the Sun and the diverse family of objects orbiting it: the rocky inner planets, the gas giants, dwarf planets like Pluto, and smaller bodies like asteroids and comets. In just a few minutes, viewers get key facts about each planet (size, composition, rings, moons) and learn how the solar system formed from a cloud of dust and gas. This overview builds a foundation for understanding astronomy and space exploration, and shows how these basic facts are applied in careers from planetary science to aerospace.
