The video explains the eight planets in our solar system, categorizing them into inner and outer planets. Inner planets, like Mercury and Earth, are smaller and have solid surfaces, while outer planets, like Jupiter and Saturn, are larger and composed mostly of gas. The video discusses the differences in size, surface, temperature, rotation, and the presence of rings.
