The Solar System Song

[selena82822]

Hey pluto is a dwarf planets

[nathman4]

it sux

[westbelfast100]

the video says we move in a circular motion. Don't we move in an egg shaped elipcical orbit?

[sciencebabe]

@westbelfast100 Yes, very slightly off from circular. It's not an extreme egg shape.Since this was done for children, we kept it simple to focus on the concept.

[hoskinsds]

Pluto was stripped of its planet status and reclassified as a dwarf planet. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) currently recognises two other dwarf planets, Eris and Ceres.

[klablabgirl]

Great song. You should post it on klablab.com which is a new free site for teachers and students. Our goal is to make learning fun!

[awesomeXDify]

THIS SONG IS SHIT! THERES 8 PLANETS! PLUTO ISNT A PLANET!

[EmilieDWolf]

Suggested modification...

Pluto was a planet of the Solar system,

Solar system, Solar system.

Pluto is so small we call it a dwarf planet,

and orbits round the Sun.

[lizam313]

@PissedPlayinPimp technically no if its now just known as a rock

[liketheuniverse11]

Don't worry, Pluto, you will always be part of the SS family!! It doesn't matter what they say!! :')

[MissCosmicDanceGirl]

9 planets? It's eight, without Pluto.... Pluto's a Dwarf Planet

[sciencebabe]

@MissCosmicDanceGirl , yep it sure is. This song (and about every book about the solar system available) is out of date!

[MissCosmicDanceGirl]

@sciencebabe Thanks for the clarifycation.

[soaringbirdfly]

@sciencebabe My 3 year old boy loves this song....thanks for uploading....

[MegaLisa830]

@MissCosmicDanceGirl Hey, Pluto shall always be a Planet to me! ^_^ That's how I was taught!

[Voltabulous]

@MissCosmicDanceGirl a dwarf planet is still a planet :P ;)

[Oscarj1999]

I would of been cracking up when Uranus came out

[sciencebabe]

@donlikevalerie123 , Yes I guess it would be if you're in a hurry. I like to joke this song is so long you get a feel for how BIG the solar system is. But for getting the names of all the planets in order you would have been better off with the "Solar System Limericks" song. It''s also long but every chorus (including at the beginning of the song) the whole list is sung. Unfortunately they both inlcude Pluto.

[ilikehorses95]

[SkyRifter]

-I am Dumbfounded, -how funny a parody this song would be for a cartoon.*

[sciencebabe]

@SkyRifter I always imagined puttting this or our "Solar System Limericks" to animation! Would be fun to do with a youth animation team!

[leopard0888]

Hello Sciencebabe,

I have a kindergarten class, and we are currently studying the Solar System. I was wondering what are the notes for the piano, or what song would you recommend with out words that I could use for their performance?

[sciencebabe]

@leopard0888 It's basically One Little Two Little Three Little Indians (as I remember it from my childhood) and I think there are many songs sung to this tune. I can't think of other examples of this tune that you might know right off the top of my head. If I think of others that may be more familiar to you, I'll repost.

[sw20008]

@sciencebabe lol omg your right lol ..

[sciencebabe]

@leopard0888 Another song that the tune is most like is "There was an old man name Michael Finnegan, He had whiskers on his chinn-agin"

[Nugwrangler]

@sciencebabe hahahahahahahahahahahahhahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

[Nugwrangler]

@leopard0888 I studied the whole Multiverse and I'm 7!!!!! Now I can make star comparison videos!!!

[sciencebabe]

This song was created when Pluto was still a planet. Simply remove that verse to make the song up to date with the current scientific description of the planets in the solar system.
