The sun is stated to be 149 million miles away from Earth (instead of the 149 million kilometers of one AU). Earth is listed as 'one of the only planets in [the] Solar System capable of supporting life.' The Great Red Spot on Jupiter is specifically described as not being an eye. Nearly obscured by static, the text changes to state that the ...

One particularly distant body is 90377 Sedna, which was discovered in November 2003.It has an extremely eccentric orbit that takes it to an aphelion of 937 AU. [2] It takes over 10,000 years to orbit, and during the next 50 years it will slowly move closer to the Sun as it comes to perihelion at a distance of 76 AU from the Sun. [3] Sedna is the largest known sednoid, a class of objects that ...
Neptune, which is Uranus's near twin in size and composition, radiates 2.61 times as much energy into space as it receives from the Sun, [23] but Uranus radiates hardly any excess heat at all. The total power radiated by Uranus in the far infrared (i.e. heat) part of the spectrum is 1.06 ± 0.08 times the solar energy absorbed in its atmosphere .

[19] Small Solar System objects are classified by their orbits: [20] [21]
Humanity’s first good look at Uranus came when Voyager 2 flew by the seventh planet from the sun in 1986. Through the spacecraft’s camera, which viewed the solar system in visible light ...
