Trusty Trivia Thursday. Today, we're
0:59
blasting off into the vast
1:01
expanse of space. Before
1:06
we begin, Trusty Trivia, a big
1:08
shout out to Noah in Plano,
1:10
Texas, who said they love smarting
1:12
with Who Smarted because, quote, it
1:14
teaches important things in a way
1:16
I can understand, unquote. Oh,
1:18
and another big shout out to
1:20
Smarty fans Vera and Vincent in
1:23
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, who think Who
1:25
Smarted is awesome and fun. Well,
1:27
thanks Noah, Vera, and Vincent. I
1:29
am so happy to have you
1:31
all smarting with me and all
1:33
your friends at Whosmarted. And
1:36
now, let's launch into some out
1:38
of this world questions about space.
1:42
First question, what is the
1:44
largest planet in our solar system? Is
1:46
it A, Earth, B, Jupiter,
1:49
or C, Saturn? Going
1:53
with B? Absolutely correct. Jupiter
1:57
is the largest planet in our
1:59
solar system. with a diameter of about 86,881
2:01
miles. Next
2:05
question. What force keeps the
2:07
planets in orbit around the sun? Is
2:09
it A, magnetism, B,
2:12
gravity, or C, wind? Did
2:18
you choose B? Spot on. Gravity
2:21
is the force that keeps the planets
2:23
in orbit around the sun, holding the
2:25
solar system together. Last
2:28
question. Which planet is known as the
2:30
Red Planet? Is it A,
2:32
Mars, B, Venus, or
2:35
C, Mercury? Ticking,
2:37
ticking, ticking. Did you choose A,
2:40
exactly right? Mars
2:42
is known as the Red Planet, due
2:44
to its reddish appearance, which is caused
2:47
by iron oxide, also known as rust,
2:49
on the surface. Fantastic
2:51

2:53
