Why do Planets have Orbits?

·15 min·1 clip

Earth spins at 1,000 mph and orbits the sun 67 times faster—faster than a flight from New York to London in 3 minutes.

This episode explores why planets have orbits, using amusement park analogies to explain concepts like Earth's rotation speed, solar system formation from a nebula, and the role of gravity. It covers topics such as the Milky Way's black hole center, early planetary collisions, and elliptical orbits in an engaging, kid-friendly way.
