PHYSICS - Astrophysics - The Solar System (Part 2)

The video explores the characteristics of outer planets, dwarf planets, moons, and comets. It highlights that outer planets are gas giants with no solid surface and discusses the visibility of planetary rings, particularly Saturn's. The reclassification of Pluto as a dwarf planet is explained, along with the criteria for being a planet. The video also covers the nature of moons, focusing on Earth's moon, and the origins of comets, including Halley's Comet, and their interaction with the solar wind.
