Moby blinks, looks at Tim, and then looks at the night sky. ","Is Pluto a planet? The clump of ice gets closer to the sun. TIM: Saturn is another gas giant, about 100 times more massive than Earth. It likely had oceans and rivers, and its atmosphere contained more heat-trapping gases. (Make connections), How does its distance from the Sun affect each planet in the Solar System? One is barren and the other shows some rocks. The surface of Venus can get close to 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. That means lots of liquid water, which all life depends on. Two inserts appear showing two different views of the surface. TIM: Neptune is the last gas giant and it has more than a dozen moons.
