TIM: The Kuiper belt is a ring of icy debris orbiting the sun beyond Neptune. But wait, there's more! One shows moons circling Neptune. Our solar system is also home to asteroids, comets, dwarf planets such as Pluto, and the distant objects of the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud. That's caused by the high iron content in Martian rocks. Gravity drew this stuff together into clumps, eventually forming the sun and the surrounding planets. The side closest to the sun glows red, while the other side is covered in ice.

They look smooth from a distance, but up close you can see they're made of chunks of ice and rock. But how does it make our calculators work? In the animation, Jupiter moves out of view and is replaced by a drawing of Saturn. That's why one side gets so hot, and the other gets so cold. The surface of Venus can get close to 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. As it approaches, its tail grows longer. When it gets close to the sun, the dust and ice form long, wispy tails that you can sometimes see from Earth. The animation shows the earlier view with the four inner planets.
