Planets | Can’t Sleep? Explore Our Solar System

Planets come in an impressive variety of sizes, temperatures, and compositions. This episode explores what makes a planet a planet, how planets form, and the different types of worlds found throughout our solar system and beyond. Along the way, you’ll hear about rocky planets, gas giants, planetary orbits, and the strange conditions that make each world a little different from its neighbors.

It’s steady and consistent, with no whispering and no sudden changes, just enough to give your mind something to follow as you wind down. Happy sleeping!
