Exploring Earth from Space

The video introduces a fun art project where Squeaks and Jessi draw space-related pictures. They discuss what can be seen from space, depending on the distance, and focus on features like continents, oceans, and ice. The video explains how to create maps and the significance of Earth's tilt, attributed to a collision with a baby planet, Theia. The video concludes with an invitation to create maps and learn more with SciShow Kids.
