The solar system consists of the Sun at its center, surrounded by eight planets that orbit around it in a specific order: Mercury (smallest and closest to the Sun), Venus (hottest planet), Earth (our home planet with 70% water coverage), Mars (red planet with rust-colored soil), Jupiter (largest gas giant), Saturn (gas giant with distinctive rings), Uranus (ice giant that spins on its side), and Neptune (farthest and coldest planet with strongest winds). Each planet has unique characteristics: Mercury experiences extreme temperature differences between day and night, Venus has a thick toxic atmosphere making it the hottest planet, Earth is the only known planet with life, Mars has the tallest volcano in the solar system, Jupiter has the most moons (at least 95), Saturn's rings are made of ice and rock, Uranus rotates on its side, and Neptune has winds faster than airplanes. The Sun, a giant hot ball of gas, provides light and heat essential for life on Earth.

Added:Hi, astronaut.
Where did they all go? I think I know.
First, we got to fill in these gaps.
Hey. Hey.
Let's use this magnet rod. Gotcha.
This is an astronaut, guys.
[music] Uh-huh. What's this?
Oh, this is a UFO.
What did we catch this time?
[music] It's Earth. Our planet.
Wait, it doesn't fit here. This spot is wrong, too. Here it goes.
It looks like a planet.
Let's see. It's Saturn.
Next.
This is a satellite.
Wow. Huge and glowing. It's the sun.
And this is right, the moon.
And finally, the last missing piece.
It's a rocket.
It's complete. Good job. Oh, look. This is Earth.
Let's get it back to its place. About 70% of Earth is covered with water.
We need to find the right spots for all these planets. Let's start.
This is Neptune. Let's move it all the way here.
Next, Uranus.
Here it is. You're going with me.
Here you go. Now, Saturn, let's help it [music] get through.
Perfect. Now, we can move it to its spot.
What is the next planet? Correct. It's Jupiter.
Now, let's find Mars. Here it is, but it's kind of stuck. Let's [music] help it.
Amazing. It's free to go now.
Next is Earth. It's right here. [music] We did it. Help me find Venus. Yes, this is Venus. And finally, Mercury. It's already in the right spot. But that's not all, guys. This spot is still empty.
I think this UFO will fit perfectly there.
How about this spot? It's for the sun.
Woohoo! We got a reward. It's Saturn.
[music] Saturn is a gas giant. It doesn't have a solid surface to stand on.
What did this car bring us?
Jupiter.
Its place is right here.
And this is Mars. We'll put it here.
It's Venus.
This planet is Saturn.
This is our home planet Earth.
This is Uranus.
This planet is Neptune and the smallest one is Mercury.
Good job, friends. [music] And we got two planets. This one's Mercury.
Days on Mercury are very hot, but [music] nights are cold.
This is Venus.
Its place is right here.
Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system.
We need to sort these balls by color, friends.
Yellow.
Orange.
Purple.
White. [bell and music] Brown.
Pink.
Green.
Blue.
Gray.
Black, red, turquoise.
Very well done.
Wow. We can try some magic.
Abracadabra.
Oops. Let's try again. Hocus pocus.
Nothing. Hm. Let's try red. Galactico Blasto. Yay, it worked. This is Mars.
Mars has huge volcanoes and deep canyons.
Red, [music] pink, green, [music] blue, yellow, orange.
Good job. Let's check what's in here.
A fire truck.
How about this one?
It's a dump [music] truck.
The green cup.
This is a car.
Next one.
It's an excavator.
This is a taxi.
And this is another planet. [music] Jupiter.
Jupiter is our biggest planet.
Wo, so many letters. [music] Let's use them to make words. S.
U N.
It's the right word. [music] Sun.
What's next? I know. M.
O.
Another O and N.
Look what we got. The moon.
What else? Aha.
U.
R.
A N U S S.
It's Uranus, guys. [music] Uranus is an icy planet called an ice giant. Is anyone home? Locked. But we've got the keys. Amazing.
Let's try to open the yellow door.
It's a pear next door.
Blueberry.
Can you guess what else we'll find?
A pineapple next door.
It's a pomegranate.
Another door to open.
This is a pumpkin.
And the last door.
Wow, look. It's Neptune.
[music] Neptune has very strong winds.
Ah, something's wrong. Let's put [music] this puzzle together layer by layer.
Yes, >> this is the brain.
Here we have the lungs and other inner organs.
Now the legs.
Great. This layer is done. Now let's add the muscles.
[music] We have muscles on our faces too. We have muscles in our arms.
Our body is covered with muscles.
Look at all the muscles in our legs.
This layer is complete, too. What's next? It's skin.
[music] Your skin is the largest organ in your body. It protects your body from germs and dirt.
It also helps you feel things like touch, heat, and cold. Time to give our boys some clothes.
Perfect. We did great, friends. But what do we do now?
Oh, we can use magic again.
Blippity blip. It [music] worked. Now he's wearing a spaceuit, but we need to move him to another place.
[music] This is where the astronaut belongs.
Let's put this puzzle together.
[music] The head is complete. Now the body.
We have the arms.
These pieces go right here. [music] These two seem to fit together.
Now we need the legs. Aha.
Wow. Look at these boots. Our astronaut is ready. The picture is now complete.
We have the planets and the astronaut.
Good job. Bye-bye.
Hi friends. Today we'll learn about the solar system, a place in space where we all live. First, let's draw the sun, our bright star.
The sun is extremely hot, so we'll draw many flames surrounding it like this. If you look at it, it usually looks yellow like cheese.
Tell me, how does a sunny day make you feel? Warm, hot, awesome.
The sun gives us light and heat every day. People, animals, plants, all need sunlight to live and grow. Without the sun, our planet Earth would be very dark and cold. The sun may look small up in the sky because it is very far away. Do you want to know how big it really is?
The sun is so big that it [music] can fit more than 1 million Earths.
It's made of very hot gases. They move and create storms that look like big explosions.
Here is our mini sun. Let's place it in the center of our map.
All the planets of our solar system move on their own path around the sun and never leave it.
>> Wow.
>> Shall we meet the planets nearest to the sun next?
These planets are Mercury and Venus.
Mercury is the closest planet to the sun and the smallest one among [music] the others. It looks like a rocky world with many holes.
And here is Venus. This planet sort of looks orange. It has many hot volcanoes and rocky places. Its sky is always covered [music] with gloomy clouds.
Doesn't sound like a friendly planet, does it?
If you want to see a planet in the sky, Venus is the easiest to find. [music] Just search for a very bright, small orange ball there. And what about its neighbor Mercury? It stays so close to the sun, [music] so it's hard to spot it in the sky. It has dusty, rough land, hot days, and very cold nights.
Doesn't sound like the best planet to live on. Let's place the mini Mercury in its place in our puzzle. [music] And here is our morning star.
No joke, this is another name of Venus because it's so bright.
A day on Venus is longer than its year.
Sounds wild, right? It's because it spins around its axis more slowly than it orbits [music] the sun. And still, it looks so chill and beautiful, right?
Okay, Venus, you've shown us what you've got. You can go take your place in our puzzle now.
Friends, we keep moving farther from the sun. [music] I wonder what's waiting for us out there.
H, it looks very familiar.
Hey, we have two space objects here, the Earth and the Moon. The Moon is [music] our closest space neighbor. It is a satellite that travels around our planet. Our home, the Earth, is the only planet we know of that has life on it.
Most of it is covered with oceans, which is why it looks blue from space.
And it has lands and mountains that we will color green.
Earth has many different kinds of weather and places to live in, too.
So, where is the place for [music] our mini moon on the map? Here it is. And what about the Earth? We can't leave it without a short tour, can we? Our planet spins on its axis, creating day and night.
[music] One full spin takes 24 hours or one full day.
Earth has strong gravity, which is why we can walk without floating away in space.
It is also surrounded by electronic satellites that help the internet, maps, and other gadgets work. The Earth takes third place from the sun. So, this is where it goes in our puzzle. Friends, [music] are you having fun? Let's keep going. We're moving to the next planet called [music] Mars. Mars is often called the red planet because of its color. I'm going to use some brownish colors to make [music] our picture bright.
Have you ever seen orange brown flakes covering iron objects? It's called rust.
Well, Mars is all covered with the rusty dust. And that's where the red color comes from. This planet has many mountains, valleys, and plains. Just like our Earth, it also has the largest volcano. But don't worry, it's been calm and quiet for a very long time. Do you think Mars is a hot or a cold planet?
Actually, it's very cold. First, because [music] it's quite far from the sun, and second, because the warmth escapes into space very quickly. [music] And here is what Mars looks like, like a big red ball. The red [music] dust storms there are so big that you can't see anything else. That's why people only send robots [music] to Mars to explore it. They're controlled by scientists on Earth, almost like in a video game. [music] They can see everything on their screens. Robots drive across rocky land, take [music] pictures of interesting objects, and send them back to Earth. Someday, people might learn if life can exist there.
Let's find a place on the map for our mini Mars. Here, it's the [music] fourth planet from the sun. Now, we're ready to move even farther into space. I'm so excited about what we'll find next. And you, let me just put a few tiny stars here and there, and we'll keep going.
This new planet is called Jupiter. Check out this big guy. It's the [music] biggest planet in our solar system. Just imagine, more than a thousand Earths could fit inside it. It is called a gas giant because it is made of [music] gas.
It's too far away, so no one has ever smelled Jupiter directly, but scientists say it may smell like rotten eggs and strong cleaning fluid. Yuck.
It looks like it's all covered with colorful stripes. These are the clouds that move very fast. Winds on Jupiter are so strong that they can blow much faster than hurricanes on our Earth.
It's not the best place [music] for a joyful trip.
Check out how fast Jupiter spins. That's why one day here lasts only [music] 10 hours.
Here you see many moons traveling around Jupiter in space. It even has the biggest moon in the solar system.
So this mini Jupiter takes fifth place among the planets. It goes right here.
The next [music] planet Saturn has a very striking feature. The huge beautiful rings, they look like a giant hula hoop around the planet. Saturn looks pale yellow or even golden [music] from space. These are the colors of its gas clouds. Also, [music] it's the second biggest planet after Jupiter. But because it's a gas giant, it's actually much lighter than it looks. And what about the rings? They are made of ice pieces, rocks, and [music] space dust.
Some ring pieces are tiny like sand grains and others are big like houses or mountains. Can you imagine?
>> Yes.
>> This is how Saturn looks from [music] space. It is surrounded by many moons traveling around it.
One of them [music] called Titan is even bigger than the planet Mercury.
If you look at Saturn from space, the rings [music] look sparkling because they have parts of ice. What a pretty planet, isn't it? Well, Saturn, you take the sixth place on the map, and it's right here.
Wow. Take a look at how far we've gone.
You're doing great, guys. Keep up. We're almost at the border of our solar system.
Only two more planets are left. Ready to learn what's going to be the next one?
This is Uranus, one of the largest planets.
It is called an [music] ice giant because it is made of icy blue green gases.
It is covered with clouds, too. They're very thin, so the planet looks like a smooth blue ball.
Uranus also has thin rings made of dark [music] rocks and dust.
Did you notice? It's another planet with hula hoops around it. It looks very peaceful and quiet, doesn't it? Uranus also has a very [music] special trait.
It spins in a very unusual way compared with other planets. Want to hear it? It rolls through space almost on its side like a spinning ball. Uranus [music] doesn't like boring. Okay, let's find the place for our mini Uranus. Here it is, the seventh place from the sun. Wow, we've learned so much already. But now, let's make one more space jump to find the last planet of our solar system.
It is [music] called Neptune.
Neptune is the icy planet, too. It is a big blue planet, [music] even deeper blue than Uranus. It's the coldest planet, and [music] it also has the strongest winds.
The winds here can blow faster than the speed of airplanes. Wo! Unbelievable.
They [music] create huge storms, including one called the Great Dark Spot. Ooh, even its name sounds chilling, doesn't it?
>> Yes.
>> Here you can see that Neptune has thin rings, too. They're made of dust and tiny rocks. Neptune looks like a bright blue marble in space. Because it is so far away, it takes Neptune more than 100 Earth years to finish one trip around the sun.
But it's not lonely because Neptune has many moons around it.
And here is the mini planet Neptune for our map. It goes in the eighth place right here. Wait, friends, our journey isn't finished yet. You know how we see all these twinkling stars in the night sky. But where do they come from?
[music] Most stars are not even situated in our solar system.
Many of them are bigger and brighter than our sun. But because they're so far away, they look like tiny dots in the sky. Some other interesting objects are much closer than these pretty stars. The space is full of many [music] space rocks that were too small to become planets. So, they just kept floating around the sun. These pieces are called asteroids.
Asteroids are made of rock, metal, or both. Some of them look like giant flying potatoes with bumpy shapes.
Sometimes pieces break off and become meteors with glowing tails, like this one here. Let's [music] place our mini asteroid at a safe distance from our planet Earth.
Here it is, friends. We've learned so much today.
Well done. I hope you liked our play date in space.
>> Yeah.
>> Bye-bye and see you in the next episodes.
>> Hey friends, today we're playing with planets.
Oh no, the planets are gone.
Everything's gone. Hold up. Mr. Astronaut will help us. Hey Mr. Astronaut, what do we do here? Oh, it's a puzzle and we got to put it together.
Fine. The first piece.
Next one.
Here it is.
Do you see this piece? Right. It's here.
What do we put here? This green piece.
It doesn't fit. What if Aha! Got it right. It's a rocket. What's next? Let's find this piece. Here it is. Help me spot this piece.
Great job. It's an asteroid.
[music] What can it be?
This smiley face will fit perfectly.
Wow. Look at this.
It's the sun.
The sun is [music] our star.
The sun is a giant hot ball of gas. It gives Earth heat and light. [music] That's why there's life on our planet.
Next one. Do you think it'll fit?
Perfect. Wa! Guys, that's so cool. It's a UFO.
It probably came from another galaxy.
Some people think that aliens from other planets travel by UFO.
Oh, you need help here, Mr. Astronaut?
[music] No worries. Come here.
You can take a seat on the roof.
[music] Shall I dig up this pile? No.
How about this one? No. You sure?
There must be something in here. Let me see.
Aha, I've spotted something.
This is Neptune.
Where should I put it?
Over there.
Neptune [music] is the farthest planet from the sun.
It's a freezing [music] cold blue ice giant with the fastest winds in our solar system. [music] You got to help me out, Mr. Astronaut.
Look at all these upturned containers.
Which one do we check first?
Hm. The largest one. A, it's another astronaut. What next? This blue one. A little rocket.
What do we pick? This one.
Ah, it's a lunar rover.
And the last one, it's Uranus.
Uranus is Neptune's neighbor.
[music] Uranus is an ice giant planet that spins on its side like a ball.
Oh, I see. We need to put all these planets in their places. That's fun.
Let's start with our home planet. Where is it? Right. This planet is called Earth and we live on it.
What is the planet that has many rings?
Right, it's Saturn. [music] Next up, the red planet.
Here it is.
It's Mars. [music] Now, help me find the farthest planet from the sun.
Right. You know it. This planet [music] is Neptune.
And what is the largest planet?
This one. It's Jupiter.
And the hottest planet.
This one.
It's Venus.
Do you remember Neptune's neighbor?
It's Uranus.
Wait, one planet is still missing.
Some magic. Voila, it's Mercury.
All the planets are in their places.
Wow, just look at this. It's Saturn.
Got to get it back to its place.
Saturn [music] has rings made of ice and rock. This planet's so light it could float in water.
And this planet is called Jupiter.
I'm so glad you're back with us.
Jupiter is the biggest planet. It also has a huge storm [music] that's bigger than Earth.
Wow. What are these thingies? Yellow, blue, orange, red. Is anything hiding inside?
Guys, I found something. [music] Oh, look. It's a UFO.
There might be something in here, [music] too.
Wa! What's that?
An astronaut.
Let's check this one.
Yes. What is it?
It already looks cool.
Oh, it's one more astronaut.
We've got one more piece.
What is this mysterious object?
It's a planet.
It's called Mars.
Mars is [music] Earth's neighbor.
Mars is a cold red planet with dust storms and a very tall volcano.
What are these letters? Got to write the name of the planet using them. First E.
Next A.
Then we need R.
Letter T.
And the last one H.
So what is this planet?
It's blue and green, right? It's Earth.
Earth is our home planet.
Earth is about 4 and 1/2 billion years old.
It also looks like a slightly [music] squashed ball.
Now, what's this? Aha! Mr. Astronaut will help us. Green.
Yellow, >> blue, >> red, purple, black, light blue, pink, Orange, brown.
Wa! It's a planet, Mercury. Let's get it back to its place.
Mercury [music] is the closest planet to the sun. It's also the smallest planet [music] in the solar system.
Hey, little bee, we'll put you together.
Let's start with a wing. Here it is.
Next one. Gotcha.
Where's this bigger wing? Here. Wait, it's wrong.
See? But it fits [music] here.
Let's try this wing.
That's right. Woohoo. Now the head. So smiley. And finally, the body. Yellow and black. Wow. A planet. [music] It's Venus.
It's Earth's sister planet.
Venus [music] is about the same size as Earth, but it's very hot. We've got all the planets, but that's not all. We still have a secret task. [music] Green.
Purple, orange, blue, yellow, [music] pink.
Great job. Now watch. Gotcha. It's a rocket.
We need a rocket for our puzzle. [music] Here it goes.
But we also need our Mr. Astronaut.
>> Wow.
>> Back in orbit.
Now, let's place all these planets correctly. [music] Mercury is sitting somewhere here. Next, Venus.
I'll put it right here. How about our dear Earth? Here it goes. Next Mars, [music] I think I'll leave it somewhere here. Jupiter, its place will be right here. [music] Saturn will sit over there. Where shall I place Uranus? Here's a good spot.
Finally, Neptune. [music] We did it, friends. Thank you for your help. See you soon. Bye.
Hello friends. Today we will draw space with you.
>> And what is there in space? H >> right. Many many stars and even more planets big and small.
>> Wow.
>> First, [music] let's add some stars to our space painting.
>> Yay.
>> Beautiful, aren't they?
>> Yes. Our sun is a star. And you can see many other stars in the night sky. They look like tiny dots because they're far away.
Oh, look. That's our sun.
Let's color it. We'll use orange to color the outside of the sun.
The sun is the closest star to our planet, [music] Earth.
The sun gives us light and heat. Without them, there wouldn't be life on Earth.
The sun is at the center of our solar system.
Everything else, like planets, [music] orbits around it.
Now, let's use some yellow for these parts of [music] the sun.
It looks so pretty, doesn't it?
The sun is made of hot gas. It's not solid like Earth.
It means that nothing and no one can stand on its surface.
The sun is ready.
The sun is billions of years old, but it won't [music] burn out for a long time.
The sun can also have solar flares, which are like big and very powerful [music] bursts of energy.
Let's put the sun in the middle of the solar system.
Now, let's look at this planet.
How about playing a game? I'll start coloring this planet blue, and you try to guess what its name is.
A small hint. It's often called the blue planet.
Now, we need to add a bit of green because there are lots of forests. We also need a bit of brown. It's Earth, our home planet. Earth isn't perfectly round. It's slightly flatter at the poles.
Earth's atmosphere [music] is made of gases that we need to breathe. Deep inside, Earth is hot and liquid. [music] Earth has one natural satellite, the moon, which orbits around it. More than [music] 10,000 satellites orbit Earth.
Let's put Earth in its place.
What about this planet?
What's its name? [music] It's orange. That's because of rust in the soil of this planet.
This planet also has massive dust storms.
We need red to color this planet, too.
It'll look slightly red if you look at it at night.
By the way, you can see this planet even without a telescope.
And this planet is Mars.
A year on Mars is almost twice as long as an Earthy year. Mars has the tallest volcano in our solar system. The atmosphere on Mars is very thin. You can't breathe there without a space suit. A flying helicopter named Ingenuity went to Mars together with a big rover. Their main goal is to explore Mars, also called [music] the red planet. They take a lot of pictures and send them to scientists on Earth.
[music] Mars is cool, isn't it?
Let's explore this planet next.
This planet [music] has huge rings, and we'll need orange to color it.
These rings are made of billions of pieces of ice and rock. [music] They stick together and make giant rings.
You'll find yellow if you look at this planet really well. There are also some shades of brown.
This planet has more moons than any other planet in our solar [music] system.
Do you know the name of this planet?
[music] Right. It's Saturn.
If you found a bathtub big enough, Saturn would float there. It takes Saturn almost 29 Earth years to orbit [music] the sun. That's a long time.
But even though a year is so long, a day [music] on Saturn is only about 10 and 1/2 hours.
That was Saturn.
And this is going to be our next planet.
We'll color it blue and pink, then blue again.
It's striped like a cake. Pink, blue. So many layers.
Even purple.
This planet is an ice giant. That's why it's blue and purple and pink.
What is it called, guys?
Right, it's [music] Neptune.
Neptune is a cold, dark, and windy ice giant [music] planet, the farthest from the sun.
Neptune [music] has the strongest winds in the solar system.
It also has at least 14 moons. The largest [music] of them is called Triton.
Scientists think diamond rain may fall in Neptune's atmosphere.
Ice cold Neptune.
This planet is huge, guys.
Time to color it.
First comes beige.
By the way, this planet is indeed the biggest in our solar system. Let's add some brown.
This planet has at least 95 moons. Now, a [music] bit of gray. This planet isn't rocky like Earth. It's a gas giant.
Finally, some orange and red. This planet is Jupiter. [music] This planet is so big that over 1,300 Earths could fit inside it.
Jupiter is made of gases and doesn't have a solid surface. Jupiter [music] spins around very quickly and its day is very short. Jupiter is really giant.
In comparison, this planet is tiny.
Let's color it and guess its name.
First, brown.
This is the smallest planet in the solar system. It's also the closest to the sun.
I'll use orange to color it, too.
It's a rocky planet like Earth and its name is Mercury.
Mercury [music] zips around the sun very, very fast. Its year is just 88 Earth days.
On Mercury, it's extremely hot during the day and freezing cold at night because it has almost no atmosphere to trap heat. [music] Mercury doesn't have any moons orbiting it. Mercury is a little tough guy. But let's explore the next planet.
Here we go. The first color is blue. Do you know why it's blue? Right. Because this planet is an ice giant, too.
We'll also add some light blue.
This planet is made up of mostly ice and has a rocky core.
It's also very far from the sun. That's why it's so [music] cold there.
Like Saturn, this ice giant has rings, too, but they're thinner and darker.
This planet is Uranus.
Uranus has at least [music] 27 moons, small and big. Uranus spins on its side, unlike other planets in our solar system.
Uranus [music] also has the coldest temperatures in our solar system. It's freezing.
Let's put Uranus in its place. There's one more planet left.
H. Let's see. We'll need brown first, then orange.
This planet is the hottest in our solar system. It's often called Earth's sister planet.
A day on this planet is longer than its year.
It has a very thick toxic atmosphere.
People couldn't breathe there.
We add some yellow. And Venus is finished.
Venus is similar in size and made of similar materials to Earth. It rotates [music] in the opposite direction from most planets. The clouds on Venus are made of a very dangerous acid.
That was Venus.
Now, let's take a look at all the planets.
Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.
>> Look, JJ, a planet puzzle game.
[screaming] >> Hooray! There [music] are eight planets that all spin around the sun called the solar system. Wow. What are their names?
Let me tell you. Listen up. Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.
Would you like to learn about the eight planets today, JJ? Oh, yes, please.
>> [music] >> But look, TomTom. The first planet.
Mercury has disappeared.
>> What's happening? Where are they going?
We need to find them. [music] >> It's okay, kids. We're going to play a game called Find the Planets >> on our own.
>> No, TomTom. [music] Our friends will help, won't you? Oh, yes. Let's find them together. Hooray! [cheering] Help me put the colors in the matching cups to find a planet. Are you ready?
>> Yeah. [screaming] >> Let's go.
Red, green, pink, blue, yellow, [music] brown.
Wow. What's happening?
We need to look in the brown cup, don't we? [music] >> Look, TomTom, we found planet Mercury.
>> We can put our first planet in place.
At night, Mercury is very cold, but in the daytime, it's very hot. It's the smallest [music] and fastest planet in the solar system.
>> The volcano has erupted. [music] We need to be quick with this game.
Oh no, it's shaking. Do you think it's going to erupt again?
Oh, look friends. A big ball of lava.
Could something be inside?
Stretchy, slippery slime.
>> JJ, I can feel something.
>> What is it? Is it a planet?
>> Yes, JJ. It's Venus.
>> Let's go put it on the puzzle board.
Tell me about Venus.
>> Okay, JJ.
Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system.
It has lots of volcanoes and very big mountains.
Oh, interesting. I think we should squeeze the balls to see if there's a planet inside.
[music] Yellow first.
>> No, nothing in yellow.
>> Try green next.
Nope. Nothing here.
>> Pink next.
>> Wow. With yellow inside.
>> No planet in pink.
>> Let's hope there's one in blue.
Look, it's got green inside. It's blue and green.
>> TomTom, it's Earth.
>> Yes, the ball is the same color as Earth. Blue and green.
Tell us about our planet Earth.
>> Earth is our home and the home to all the animals and plants, too. It isn't too hot and it isn't too cold.
>> We've got another game to play. But what are these pieces? H Oh, it's a jigsaw.
We've got to put the rocket back together again. [music] Will you help me do it?
That goes at the bottom.
Well, what about this one?
>> At the top.
>> This one?
>> Hm. Try next to the bottom one.
Hooray. Only one more to fit in.
Yeah, we did it. Oh, what is it?
>> It's planet Mars, JJ. We sometimes call it the red planet. [music] >> Why do we call it the red planet?
because it's colored red from all the rust in the soil and rocks.
Mars is a very cold and dry [music] planet.
The Play-Doh balls look like planets, don't they? Let's pull them open.
>> Pink one first.
>> Not that one. Let's try red.
>> Nope.
Green.
>> No. Okay. What about H orange?
Press your finger in.
>> It's not in orange. TomTom.
>> Yellow. Let's try yellow next.
Okay, we'll pull the last ball apart.
>> Blue. Maybe it's inside [music] blue.
Oh, Tom. Tom, there's something hard inside.
>> I can see something. Quick, which planet is it?
Wait, let me take the dough from it and we can check.
>> It's Jupiter.
Wow, it looks like a big planet, doesn't it?
>> Do you want to know about Jupiter?
>> Yes, we do.
>> Jupiter is made of gas and is the largest planet in the solar system.
Storms on Jupiter last for many years.
We need to check inside the three bowls to see if there's a planet hiding in one.
I'll sit here whilst you hunt through them.
>> Could it be in the green one?
>> No, JJ. Only small green balls in here.
[music] >> Wa! Careful. They'll fall on me.
Let's move the green and blue balls away and check the yellow one.
>> JJ, there's something hard in here.
>> Hooray. Which planet?
>> It's Saturn.
>> Wow, Saturn has rings around it. So cool.
That's right, JJ. And the rings are made of ice and rocks that spin around the planet. Saturn is another icy cold planet, too. And also a gas planet.
>> I don't like cold.
Talking about icy cold. [music] Let's check out what's inside the fridge.
Maybe there's a cold planet inside.
>> Open sesame.
>> Watch out, TomTom. It's an ice avalanche.
>> Look, a planet. Yes, it's Uranus.
>> Pop it in its place and tell us about Uranus.
>> Okay, here it goes. Uranus is very cold and very windy and it looks like it spins on one side. This planet is made from ice and called an ice giant because it's so big.
>> Wow, this magic sand looks like a big purple hill, doesn't it? Wow.
Let's squeeze and pull it to see if there's anything inside.
Wow, now it looks like a purple waterfall.
Can you see a planet hiding in there?
>> TomTom, I found it. Look.
>> Uh, what color is it?
>> It's blue.
>> This is the last planet in the solar system. I can't remember its name. Do you know what it's called?
>> The last planet is Neptune.
>> That's the same name as the king of the sea, Neptune.
Yes, it is, TomTom. Because Neptune looks like water. Neptune is a cold ice giant, and it doesn't have any seasons like we do. It's freezing cold all the time.
>> Look, JJ, with help from our friends, we found all the missing planets.
>> Yay!
>> Come on, let's count them.
>> One, Mercury is number one.
Two, Venus is number two.
Three, Earth is number three.
Four, Mars is number four.
Five.
Jupiter is number five.
Six.
Saturn is number six.
Seven.
Uranus is number seven.
Eight.
>> Neptune is number eight. [screaming] >> Now I know that there are eight planets in the solar system that spin [music] around the sun. Well done, JJ. That's right. Let's say their names one more time so that you remember them. Okay, let's go.
>> Mercury, the smallest and fastest planet.
>> Venus, the hottest planet with lots of volcanoes.
>> Our home Earth, which we share with plants and animals.

We've learned lots about planets today, haven't we?
>> Yes. Now I want to be an astronaut.
Bye-bye.
Wow. Is this the game we're going to play, Chase?
>> Yes. Cool, isn't it? [screaming] >> Are we going to be learning numbers and shapes?
>> That's right, Blueie. Are you ready?
>> Look what's happening.
>> The numbers and shapes are disappearing.
Oh no. Did anyone see where they went?
>> I know. Why don't we have a number treasure hunt?
>> Yeah, let's go.

Hurrah.
>> Hi friends. The Paw Patrol are coming to play with us today.
[music] >> We brought you a puzzle all about animals.
>> Yeah. But Chase, look. The animals are running away. Will you [music] help us to find them?
>> Yes. Paw Patrol, are you ready for action? We need to find the hiding animals for our friends. Ready for action.
>> Marshall's ready for rescue in his fire truck. I'm ready to roll out in my recycling truck.
>> Thanks, Rocky.
>> Rubble on the double to dig out some animals.
>> Rock on rubble.
>> Chase is on the case to bring the animals back. [music] >> Paw Patrol is rolling out.
>> Marshall's back. Has he found [music] some of the missing animals?
>> Take a look in the back of my fire truck. I found some animals for you.
Let's check them out. Giraffe is the tallest animal. [music] It has a long neck so that it can see far away.
[music] Let's put giraffe back onto the puzzle board.
We'll try it here.
Parrot has bright, colorful feathers.
And it's a really smart bird, too. Fly [music] over to the board, parrot, to see where you fit in. Nope.
Doesn't fit here either. [music] No, but it might do if we turn parrot around. Yes, parrot slots in here. Look, a crocodile. They're very fast [music] swimmers and have big, sharp teeth and can grow new ones if one breaks. Ouch.
Don't bite. I think we need to put him on the puzzle board to stop him from biting. No, not here.
Hm. Maybe if we keep him upside down and place him here. Yes, he's safely in his place now. Bear is a big, heavy animal with thick, fluffy fur. They have a long sleep in winter [music] and wake up in spring. No, he doesn't sleep here.
What about here? [music] Yes, we did it.
>> Well done, friends. I'm going to see if I can find any more hiding animals.
>> Marshall's all fired up for rescue.
>> Here comes Rubble. He must have found some animals, too.
>> I dug out some animals for you, but I don't know what they're called. Will you teach me their names?
>> Yes.
>> Elephant is the largest animal on land.
Their two tusks are actually teeth, and they love to eat all day. Let's see the next animal. Camel. [music] They run very fast and usually live in the hot desert because they can walk for a long time without water. Oh, what animal do we have here? Look, Rubble. It's a duck.
Ducks are swimming birds. And when they walk, they waddle because of their webbed feet. Maybe here.
What if we turn duck upside down?
[music] Will it fit?
Hurorah.
Elephant is a big puzzle piece.
>> I wonder where he will fit in.
>> H.
Not here. There's a gap. What about next to bear?
Ah, maybe next to duck.
Hurrah. This is where elephant lives.
Hm. Camel next. Wow.
>> Can you help me to put camel in the right place?
>> Yes.
>> Camel can't go here. There's a gap.
[music] >> Have I had to turn Camel upside down and onto his side? Wow. Thanks, guys. We did it. [screaming] >> I learned about some animals. Thanks, friends. Got to go and dig out some more for you. Rubble to the rescue.
>> Rubble on the double.
Hey Rocky, do you have any animals in your recycling truck?
>> I sure do, friends. Take a look at the front of my truck. I found a big animal for you.
>> Let's see. Hippo. Well done, Rocky.
Hippos are hard to find because they spend a lot of their time in water.
[music] Zebra.
>> Yeah.
>> Did you know zebras sleep standing up?
They have black and white stripes all over their bodies to help them hide from bigger animals.
>> I found another animal, but I don't know where it's gone. Can you help look for it with me?
>> Yes.
>> We'll check the [music] recycling truck.
Maybe it's hiding in there. I can't see it.
>> H.
>> Ah, maybe this animal is hiding in the recycling bin.
We found it, Rocky. It's hiding in here.
>> It must have crawled into the bin whilst I was driving back here.
What animal is it?
>> It's a snail, Rocky. And did you know that snails are everywhere? Some live on land and some in water. We need a big space for this big hippo, don't we?
>> I think I know where to put it.
>> Yes.
>> Okay, friends. Now, we've got to find where zebra goes. Will you help? The zebra piece is quite long. Can you see where it could go? It won't fit in here.
No, we've left a gap.
Yes, behind the camel.
>> Yay.
>> Now we have snail. This is a small shape.
Can you see a small gap where snail might creep into? Although snail fits here. I think snail needs a smaller space, don't you? No, this isn't snail's place.
>> Let's try between zebra and hippo. Yes, a snug fit here for snail. My work here is done. I'll close the recycling bin and search for more animals.
>> Green for let's go.
Hey guys, look. [music] Chase is here.
Wow. What animals do you have?
>> My truck has some animals inside, but I don't know which animals they are.
>> That's okay, Chase. We'll tell you what they are. Polar bear has white fur and black skin. And did you know that they have a blue tongue? Wow, >> these bears love swimming.
Oh, what's this big animal? Wow, a dinosaur.
>> Wow, >> this dinosaur looks like a friendly one, so it must only eat plants and leaves.
It has a full belly and a long neck so that it can reach the leaves on tall trees.
Which animal also has a long neck?
>> Yes, a giraffe.
Did you only find two animals, Chase? I can't see any more animals on your truck. Can you?
>> Uhhuh.
>> Let's take a closer look at Chase's truck. Ah, maybe an animal is hiding in here. Huh? Oh, look. What's this? Fish was hiding on the back of Chase's truck.
Fish are really clever and can see nearly all around themselves. Wow. Let's swim over to the puzzle. Dinosaur is a big animal. Where do you think it will go on the puzzle board? H I don't know where it will fit. Can you help?
Let's turn it around and see if it goes here.
>> Cool. Thanks, friends. Dinosaur is in place again. Now it's polar bear's turn to go home.
>> Okay.
>> There's not [music] much space left on the board now, is there? It can't go here. Let's turn Polar Bear over. Yeah, a perfect polar place. [laughter] Lastly, fish needs to swim straight into its space. This way, I think. No, flip fish over, then fish will fit.
>> Yes.
>> Thanks, friends. We finished the animal puzzle together. Good job. See you next time.
