Thank you my friend Sgt (Join to see) for posting for video and I am glad that Pluto received an honorable mention.
This image presents a two-dimensional view of the 4 dimensional solar system. Each planet has its own time after all based on its rotational schedule from very short for Mercury and incredibly long for Neptune and the Goldilocks rotation for our planet :-)
1. God placed the earth just far enough away from the sun to warm the earth with a single moon to govern the tides. The earth spins on its axis with a north and south pole
2. The solar system we are part of is at the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy which enables us to have wonderful views of the galaxy and vast regions of space. If we were significantly closer the sky would be constantly lit by the vast number of stars in the Milky Way.
3. Our outer atmosphere protects us from most meteorites and those that penetrate tend to be significantly reduced in size. [also makes it challenging for spacecraft leaving or re-entering the earth's atmosphere.
4. Our solar system rotates around the outer limits of the Milky Way while the milky way rotates on its own schedule.
5. The asteroid belt is between Jupiter and mars and the significantly larger gravitational force exerted by Jupiter helps to keep the asteroids at a respectable distance

Thank you LTC Stephen F. for the local detail within our Solar System... It is great information for all of those interested in Space and more particularly, our Solar System... God's Cosmos is vast and we are currently limited as to how far we can reach out to see it with our current technology...and perhaps God's Universe is unlimited in size... Our Earth in comparison to God's Universe is like a grain of sand among all the sand on our planet... I hope you have a wonderful evening Stephen!

SPC Douglas Bolton - It sort of puts a few things in perspective regarding our planet Earth and its minute part of the Universe... It also makes one think about what is really important, Doug.
