## Plot

The episode begins with Pluto floating in space, looking sad. Suddenly, Earth and all the other Planets show up with a gleeful look on their faces, prompting Pluto to question why they're all here. Earth reveals that the humans changed their mind on what the definition of what a planet is and explains that size doesn't matter anymore.

Pluto is obviously thrilled to be a planet again and Mercury chimes in to say that Pluto is a star to him. The Sun chimes in and asks if he meant "planet", but Mercury bursts out at The Sun and then all the Planets kick The Sun out the Solar System. Venus praises Mercury for doing so, while Uranus remarks that they have Pluto as a new star now. Pluto begins to grow to the size of a star as all the Planets cheer him on.

Out of nowhere, an asteroid hits Pluto, turning him into his original size. It was revealed that it was actually a dream by Pluto due to Mercury throwing an Asteroid at Pluto, waking him up. Pluto silently observes the inner planets teasing Mercury and name-calling him a "Pluto", expressing his annoyance at the planets' shenanigans.

Can we drink WATER from Mars?

**"Can we drink WATER from Mars?"** is the 35th episode by air date and the 40th by chronological order of SolarBalls.

## Synopsis

As Astrodude's adventures continue on Mars, he notices he's running short on his water supply. But he comes up with an idea...

## Characters

* Sun
* Astrodude
* Astrodude's Wife
* Mars
* Houston
* NASAball (background character)
* Earth (thumbnail only)

## Plot

Having spent all his funding on getting a piano, Astrodude runs out of water. His boss tells him to go to the polar regions to harvest Mars's ice caps, however, it turns out nothing from Earth is allowed to touch water from space, so it was all a waste of time.
ROTSAR

**ROTSAR** is the main space agency seen throughout SolarBalls.

## Description

ROTSAR is in partnership with NASA and is most likely a private space agency just like SpaceX. In the show, only one major mission was shown to be done by ROTSAR, dubbed 'The Mission With No Return', which has only one crew member - Astrodude. ROTSAR has also done some minor missions, the most notable one being a rescue mission to Mars to save Astrodude. The organization seems to be on poor terms with USAball after the events of the episodes The Earth Alone - Part 1 and The Earth Alone - Part 2.

ROTSAR also seems to quickly know most situations with the Earth. In The Moon Revolution - Part 3, they seemed to have known about the fact that the Earth was heading into the Asteroid Belt and quite possibly, the Earth being lead into a trap by Titan (which was later headed by Ganymede after Titan had changed sides).
Marlon Quispe

**Marlon Quispe** is one of the animators of SolarBalls. He has worked on other projects such as Ciudad Jardín, La Brujita Tatty, Espantijos, Lucky Bob, The Supremes, Faunabulozoo, Los Zurfs, Little Angel, and Babi y Maiki.

Pluto is a character in SolarBalls who is one of the 5 dwarf planets recognized by the IAU, along with Ceres, Eris, Makemake, and Haumea.

## Personality

Pluto feels alone and reflective, wanting to be important in the solar system again after being demoted. He's emotionally hurt and has a tense relationship with all the other planets except Neptune. He can be sometimes ignorant, such as how he stated he is sad that he's a "moon" of Neptune with Charon directly in front of him, although he does not have any malicious intentions as shown in Dungeons and Dwarf Planets with Haumea. In Where does Pluto REALLY come from, he learns that he dosen't have to be a planet to be special and cool and tries to accept himself as who he is.

**Luna** (a.k.a Moon) is one of the main protagonists in SolarBalls. He is the Earth's only natural satellite.

## Personality

Luna is kind and stays quiet most of the time while Earth talks to other planets. He helps Earth to sustain life, yet he wasn't really appreciated by Earth and felt like he doesn’t matter to him.

Luna believes that everyone is unique in their own way, as he said himself when he met Titan. He is respectful of other celestial bodies, but is still honest about how he feels about them, telling Astrodude that Mars’ moons, Phobos and Deimos are “freaking weird”.

He also doesn't like being called "Earth's Moon" because his true name is Luna, and what he wants to be called like that sadly he is always being cut off when he tries to tell, similar to Astrodude.

He has a nasally, monotoned voice.

### Dark Side

> *Main article: Dark Side of The Moon*
>

*The moon has two faces, the lesser seen one calling himself “the dark side of the moon”. Dark side is a quiet guy like the moon, mostly just talking to his other face. He tries hard to be the edgy one, telling the Moon to crash against the earth and talking about how he’s always in shadow because they’re “tidally locked”.*

When he’s not being edgy, he’s either sleeping or looking off into the emptiness of space while the Moon watches Earth and Mars play cards.

He has a deep voice.

## Trivia

* Luna can be seen at the end of the episode "How to become a Space Explorer! (feat. @veritasium)", making him the first celestial object besides Earth to chronologically appear in the series.
* All the moons call him “Earth’s Moon” but he absolutely hates the name. His real name is Luna, revealed by Earth in *The Moon Revolution - Part 3*. Earth is the first character to call him this, therefore being the one to reveal it.

Цзінь Ґуан’яо

**Цзінь Ґуан’яо** (金光瑶, *Jīn Guāngyáo*), від народження **Мен Яо** (孟瑶, *Mèng Yáo*) був головою клану Ланьлін Цзінь після смерті свого батька, Цзінь Ґуаньшаня.

Завдяки владі та впливу клана Ланьлін Цзінь, він став першим Головним Культиватором. Мав титул Ляньфан-цзунь (敛芳尊, *Liǎnfāng-zūn*).

У різні етапи свого життя був довіреним помічником Нє Мінцзюе, шпигуном, героєм і вбивцею.

Був названим братом Лань Січеню та Нє Мінцзюе.

## Зовнішність

Цзінь Ґуан'яо має вигідну зовнішність: він вродливий, але не надміру. Він має світлу шкіру та виразні зіниці. Цого риси чисті та привабливі, тінь посмішки з'являється у куточках губ та бровах.

За словами автора його зріст 170 см - він трохи нижчий за інших дорослих персонажей новели.

Він вдягає типовий одяг клану Ланьлін Цзінь із вишитою білою півонією і наносить на лоб яскраво-червоний знак. На голову він одягає примітну чорну шапку.

## Особистість

На перший погляд Цзінь Ґуан’яо турботливий, скромний та спокійний. Він пропонує побудувати сторожові вежі, щоб допомогти простим людям. Створені за його замовленням фрески, що зображують його покійного єдинокровного брата, Цзінь Цзисюаня, не менш вражаючі, ніж його власні.

Цзінь Ґуан’яо глибоко стидається свого походження. Незважаючи на глибоку любов до матері, він часто засмчувався, коли його називали "сином повії". Також він відчайдушно прагнув схвалення свого батька, Цзінь Ґуаньшаня; за його власними словами, доки той наказував йому, «хоч би якою дурницею це було, як би мене за це ненавиділи, я підкорявся». Цзінь Ґуан’яо робить багато жорстоких вчинків, розкриваючи безжальнусторону своєї особистості. Однією з причиною вбивства Нє Мінцзюе було те, що він заважав планам Цзінь Ґуаньшаня. Коли Цзінь Ґуан’яо зрозумів, що його батько ніколи не схвалить його, він вбив Цзінь Ґуаньшаня доволі непристойним способом.

Хоча Цзінь Ґуан’яо не вбиває без потреби, він готовий убити або поставити під загрозу чиєсь життя, щоб врятуватися. За його власними словами, він убив «свого батька, брата, вчителя, дружину, сина та друга». Однак його жорстокість не позбавлена певного милосердя: він не вбиває подругу своєї матері Сиси, незважаючи на те, що вона є свідком вбивства Цзінь Ґуаньшаня, і одружується на своїй єдинокровній сестрі, оскільки та вже вагітна (вони мали стосунки, коли він ще не знав про їх кревність.

## Цікавинки

* Зріст Цзінь Ґуан’яо - 170 см, він найнижчий з дорослих основних персонажей. Китайскький фандом називає його "Яо-мей" (瑶妹), у перекалді "молодша сестричка Яо".
* Цзінь Ґуан’яо та Цзінь Цзисюань обидва народились 20 лютого
* за словами Мосян Тунсю, після закінчення подій роману Цзінь Ґуан’яо став Лютим Трупом і близько ста років боротиметься з Нє Мінцзюе у труні, де їх запечатано.
* Можливо, ім'я "Ґуан’яо" навіяно ідіомою "ґуан яо мень мей" (光耀门楣 *guāng yào mén méi*), "блиск сяє на дверях родини". Значення ідіоми "принести славу родині"
* У китайському фольклорі є чарівна трава Яо (瑶, *yáo*)

Houston

**Houston** is a character in SolarBalls. He is Astro Dude's boss.

## Coverage

Houston appears in various of SolarBalls videos, being the instructor to Astro Dude. He also tends to be idiotic and insensitive at times.

## Personality

Houston could be considered an “antagonist” in SolarBalls. He is usually mean to Astrodude and has no concern for his safety in space. He can be impatient as well, as shown in Can we survive on Mars? when he compelled Astrodude to stand on the surface of Mars to see whether an Earthling can survive on Mars without the space suit and quickly declares that the experiment was successful, only for NASA to tell him in a distressed tone that Astrodude had passed out from hypothermia and the harsh conditions on the planet would kill him if nothing is done soon. Whenever Astrodude ends up in huge trouble, such as landing on Venus' surface, Houston would tell him nonchalantly that he will be calling his lawyer in case he actually dies in space.

Despite being considered to be an idiot (in Astrodude's point of view), Houston is well-educated about the historical events in space and is usually shown to talk a lot about them including the sending of Sojourner, a rover, in Mars and the Venera missions conducted by the Soviets in the 1960s, even as far as remembering their dates.

## Trivia

* Houston is the 1st SolarBalls character to be considered an antagonist (with Sun being the 2nd.)
* Houston may possibly have been an astronaut in the past, as seen in Surviving Venus (Part 2), when he's ready to take Astro Dude's place in space.
* It was confirmed by both by himself and Alvaro (in the discord) that his name wasn’t Houston and that is just his official nickname. Alvaro states that Houston is where the space station is located and that Astrodude might be confusing the name and location of the space station with his name.
Phobos

**Phobos** is a character in SolarBalls who is one of the Martian moons along with Deimos.

## History

Phobos debuted in "What if the moon went away?", where he had a conversation with the Moon about how the Moon can crash into Mars to help the Martian moons grow bigger while the Moon was orbiting Mars.

He appeared again in "Is the Moon REALLY leaving us?" while Earth was "moonshaming" Venus and Mars for not having a large moon. He and his brother felt insulted and angry after Earth called them small pebbles.

He made minor appearances in 'Why space is BAD for you?" and "How Dangerous are Asteroids?" as background characters. He appeared in the latter dodging an asteroid that Earth threw at Mars, while in the former, he had a conversation with Deimos before going someplace else after Astrodude turned off the lights of his spaceship.

In "Mission to Titan - Part 2", they appeared as the "someone" that the Moon was going to bring to confront Titan. He was told by Titan that they can do bigger things such as making a significant impact on surfaces of celestial bodies, changing his point of view. In the end of the episode, he went with Titan for "a change" along with the Moon and Deimos.

They tried to search for other members in The Moons of Jupiter - Part 1 to help Titan in his Moon Revolution, seeing him as his boss. However, they got scared due to the creepiness of the asteroid belt and came back hastily, much to Ganymede and Europa's surprise. When the two Galilean moons found Titan, they fled again due to their big size compared to him and his fellow brother.

They did a staring contest in attempt to mimic what Ganymede and Titan was presumably doing at the end of the previous episode. Then, he encouraged Titan to tell Ganymede what Earth has said to offend Titan, and welcomed Io, Callisto, and the Moon when they finally met his brother along the others.

He then went to search for Uranus and Neptune's moons along with Titan.

## Personality

Phobos is the bigger moon among the two Martian moons. Like his brother and fellow moon, Deimos, Phobos is rather crazy, hyperactive, is always seen with the former and has shown a big liking to Titan. He is also shown to be easily scared, shown when they came back to Titan after trying to search for members in the asteroid belt and quite ignorant about facts, shown when they got surprised about how Jupiter has more than 2 moons. Phobos is sometimes shown to be a bit more reflexive than Deimos, as he is annoyed when Deimos said that he ships Titan and Titania, and is more accepting to being called "cute" by Ariel. Phobos and Deimos supported the Moon Revolution until they found out that the other moons have attacked Mars, shown in The Moon Revolution - Part 2. He also seems to become less hyperactive in the later episodes. Phobos and Deimos were also overjoyed to find Mars still alive.

## Trivia

* In real life, he along with Deimos are assumed as asteroids from the asteroid belt captured by the gravity of Mars.
Jupiter

* Saturn
* Uranus
* Neptune
* Mars
* Earth

**Jupiter** is a protagonist in SolarBalls, he is the 5th planet from the Sun, and as well as the largest planet in the whole Solar System.

## Personality

Jupiter is a very wise role model to the terrestrial planets. He always shares his knowledge with those who need it, such as when Earth had an idea to go to another star, he refuted the idea as they'd all freeze along the way. He also explained that he can never become a second Sun as he doesn't have the mass to become one.

Like Saturn, Jupiter also cares for his moons, but tends to forget and mispronounce their names. However, he tends to be more lenient with them, shown when he immediately approved Ganymede’s “adventure” to find Titan.

While Jupiter is normally calm and easygoing, he can sometimes get annoyed and irritated. For instance, he showed annoyance at Saturn’s overprotectiveness of Titan, and was shown quarreling with others for the first time.

## Trivia

* He is widely considered to be the smartest of the characters.
* He has a small face relative to his size, similar to Io.
* He is often called the Big Brother of the planets by fans.
* He is the second character to narrate a sponsor section, after Uranus.
* Jupiter is Afraid of a certain "someone" who he believes to have stolen his and Saturn's moons
Did you know that SOLAR FLARES... (Part 2)

**Did you know that SOLAR FLARES... (Part 2)** is the second SolarBalls short, and a continuation of the previous.

## Transcript

Narrator: Did you know that if the Earth was hit by a coronal mass ejection, we would all get DESTROYED!? Well, I'm exaggerating of course! Thanks to the Earth's magnetic fields, solar flares don't just come and destroy us. But they can still cause some trouble. Solar flares that hit the Earth can cause geomagnetic storms, auroras, and in some extreme cases: electrical problems. WE COULD EVEN LOSE THE INTERNET! That would suck pretty bad. But in any case...
Flip vertelt over de Tweebenen

## Inleiding

**Dit verhaal bevat spoilers voor Warrior Cats**

Hallo beste Katje hier is Flip die jullie iets gaat vertellen over de mysterieuze, vreemde wezen: De tweebenen! Ook worden er katten uit de WaCa series uitgenodigd en zij mogen sommige tweebeen dingen gaan proberen en ervaren. Veel plezier met lezen.

wordt bewerkt door Spitsvleugel

## Katnidaten:

Hier staan alle katnidaten (kandidaten) die gekozen zijn om mee te doen aan het progamma waarin je veel leert over tweebenen. hierdoor voor elke kandidaat een kort stukje over wat ze ervan vinden enzo.

### Vuurster:

Ik ben echt heel erg vereerd dat ik ben uitgenodigd door deze show die door miljoenen katten gekeken gaan worden! Ik heb er echt veel zin in, ik ben benieuwd hoe de tweebenen leven en waarom ze zich zo gek gedragen ;). Ik ben zelf ook huiskat geweest en daarom vind ik dit ook extra leuk, zo kan ik terugkijken op de tijd dat ik als Rufus bij mijn tweebenen woonde!!

### Moskit;

Wow superleuk dat ik mee mocht doen, ik heb er echt heel veel zin in! Mij lijkt het supercool om alle tweebeen dingen te gaan proberen! Alleen jammer dat mijn moeder ook mee gaat...

Yeay Yeay :D

### Geeltand:

Tekeningen volgen snel

grmph die domme tweebenen ook. Ik wed dat ze alle spullen gebruiken voor domme dingen. Ik hoop dat ze bij het tweebeenhuis tenminste goed voedsel hebben, want no way dat ik van dat poesiepoes voedsel ga eten. Ik hoop dat dit snel voorbij is. Wat zeg je wordt dit door miljoenen katten gekeken? Nou ja zeg kan een kat geen privacy hebben tegenwoordig.

### Schildpadstaart:

Ik ben een beetje nerveus, maar ik heb er wel zin in. Ik hoop dat dit een beetje soepel verloopt zonder problemen, want ik heb nare herinneringen aan tweebeennesten. Toen ik met Kater samen woonde mishandelede hij mij en later kwam hij zijn kits terughalen ik ging achter hem aan, maar de tweebeenplaatst werd de laatste plek die ik gezien heb. Brrr ik hoop dat het niet eng wordt.

### Gaaiveder:

Wat een Muizenstront. En waarom dachten jullie dat het een goed idee was om mij uit te nodigen. Ik ben sterrenclanzijdank blind, hoe denken jullie dat ik ga zien wat er gaat gebeuren. Na ja, Ik hoop dat dit in ieder geval geen regelrechte ramp wordt. Het lijkt me niet echt fijn als de tweebenen ons ontdekken en ons poesiepoes maken. ik snap echt niet meer waarom ik hier aan mee wilde doen.

Нє Мінцзюе

**Нє Мінцзюе** (聂明玦, *Niè Míngjué*) у минулому був головою клану Цінхе Нє, старший єдинокровний брат Нє Хуайсана. Мав титул Чифен-цзунь (赤锋尊, *Chìfēng-zūn*). Був названим братом Лань Січеню та Цзінь Ґуан’яо.

## Зовнішність

Нє Мінцзюе навищий із героїв роману, його зріст 191 см. Його талія вузька, а плечі широкі. За словами Вей Усяня він має такі рельєфні м’язи живота, про які б мріяло «безліч чоловіків».

Хоча Нє Мінцзюе посідав сьоме місце у списку найкращих чоловіків-культиваторів його покоління, через його суворий вигляд виникало враження, що він може будь-якої миті спалахнути від люті.

## Особистість

Нє Мінцзюе добре знаний за його суворість та гнівний темперамент. З часом характер погіршується, оскільки дух його саблі починає впливати на нього. Цзінь Ґуан’яо відзначав, що Нє Мінцзюе не виявляв інтересу до жінок, творів мистецтва, алкоголю чи будь-чого за межами вправ з шаблею та вбивства членів клану Цішань Вень.

Хоча Нє Мінцзюе нечасто відкривається іншим, він захищає тих, про кого піклується. Він сильно шкодує через смерть свого батька, якого тяжко поранив звір під час нічного полювання.

Окрім того, Нє Мінцзюе має чорно-білі погляди на мораль, і він вкрай нетерпимий до всього, що, на його думку, не є правильним. Наприклад, він відмовляється проявити милосердя до вігалуження клану Цішань Вень, до якого відносилась Вень Цін, стверджуючи: оскільки вона не протидіяла Вень Жоханю, це зробило її співучасником. Він не зважав, що коли б вона це зробила, уся її родина була би у небезпеці. Також він не міг пробачити Цзінь Ґуан’яо, що той вбив кілька його підлеглих, коли працював під прикриттям у клані Цішань Вень.

Через ці ж погляди Нє Мінцзюе негайно підтримує Сяо Сінченя, коли той виступає проти проти Сюе Яна, хоча так він виступає проти клану Ланьлін Цзінь. Також він співчуває тим, кого вважає невиним: за часів кампанії "Збити сонце" він ганьбить культиварторів, коли спіймав їх пліткуючими про Цзінь Ґуан’яо.

## Цікавинки

* Нє Мнцзюе є найсильнішим Лютим Трупом у романі, він перевершує навіть Вень Ніна.
* За словами Мосян Тунсю, Нє Мінзцюе та Нє Хуайсан мають різний зріст через те, що у них різні матері, можливо припустити, що матір Нє Мінцзюе була доволі високою.

Rhea

> **Rhea** is a character in SolarBalls who is one of the seven major Saturnian moons.
>
>

## History

Rhea first appeared in The Moons of Saturn as a background character. She was shown to be shocked and worried about Saturn killing them. Rhea appeared again in The Moon meets Titan, in the scene where it flashed to Saturn's moons. Rhea later appears in The Army of the Moons with a complete design where she discusses who will be the biggest moon of Saturn since Titan is gone, before being interrupted by Ganymede and deciding to join him & the others in the Moon Revolution.

## Personality

Not much is known about her, but she seems to have more patience than other moons like Enceladus or Dione, as she didn't have an angry face at Saturn and wasn't bothered by almost nobody remembering her existence. She also seems to be more shy and reserved than the other moons, not speaking much unless she has to. However she is shown to be enthusiastic about destroying the Earth when charging forward with the other moons, showing perhaps that she is easily swayed.

## Trivia

* Rhea is the second character to be draw with eyelashes after Europa.

* Rhea is one of two last moons to have a full completed design the other being Tethys
Astrodude's Son

* Regular
* With Planetballs T-Shirt
* Lego

**Astrodude’s Son** (popularly known as **Astroson** (alternative spelling: **Astro Son**)) is the son of Astrodude and his wife. It is unknown what his real name is.

## Personality

In "Why Space is BAD For You", when Astrodude's wife tells her husband that since their child spends his time playing with his toy rockets, it could mean that he misses his father, which the latter tells his wife that their son had been playing with his rockets even before he left for space. In addition to that, he doesn't seem to speak though he would be making noises while playing which could convey that the child is too young to speak yet.

## Trivia

* In the Italian SolarBalls channel, his name is implied to be "**Luke**".
* Astrodude's Son is nearly always seen making a blank expression.
	+ He was shown to smile briefly at the start of "How to become a Space Explorer! (feat. @Veritasium), before losing his smile after hearing that Astrodude is one of the finalists.
* Astrodude's Son likely has a fascination with Space, as he is always playing with his toy rocket.
* It was revealed in the episode "LEGO Planets! (feat. @Bricksane)" that, Astrodude's son thinks that Venus is a female due to the fact that the planet was named after the Roman Goddess of love and Beauty, Venus, despite Venus being a male character.
Sun/Education Moments

These are the educational moments of the **Sun**.

## Educational moments

### My Best Friend, the Sun!

In this episode, when the Sun tells Mercury that nobody is close to him as Mercury is, Mercury explains that he and the Sun are between 28.5 million and 43.5 million miles(45.8 million km and 70 million km, respectively). Also, when the Sun was about to have a solar flare, he calls it 'corona', which confuses Mercury, and then fully explains it by calling it 'coronal mass ejection'.

### What if the Sun disappeared?

In this episode, Venus explains that if the Sun disappears, they will be frozen *Plutos* drifting through space. He also explains that the Sun's gravitational pull is required for them to stay in orbit. Then Jupiter explains that his gravity won't be enough for him to keep the planets together. And that's the reason it's called the *solar* system.
Julian Dorra

**Julian Dorra** (also known as Burning Oleander) is a literary scientist and one of the writers of SolarBalls. He is also the voice actor of Ray Osbourne on The Lyosacks and the writer of the aforementioned show's movie, and the creator of the Waypoint podcast.

## Characters

* Venus
* Earth
* Mercury
* Sun (background character)
* Titan (flashback)
* Mars (flashback)
* Moon (flashback)
* Jupiter (mentioned)

## Plot

The episode starts with the Earth approaching Venus with a smug smile and calling him in a friendly manner. Venus immediately suspects Earth's intentions and asks him about what his plan was, to which the latter replies in the negative and tells Venus that he was just 'vibing' and calls him 'best friend'. Venus tells Earth that while he was flattered, it was Mars who was Earth's best friend. Earth tells Venus that he and Mars weren't friends anymore due to the events in "The Truth about Titan". However, Earth just partially brings up the story by saying that Mars and the Moon is forcing him to apologize because he thinks that 'moons are not as cool as planets' while having flashbacks about how he had badly hurt Titan's feelings and accidentally creating cracks in his friendship between him and Mars. Venus, who wasn't aware of the events, asks Earth whether he was actually telling the whole story without missing anything. Fearing how Venus would react if he comes to know about the whole story, Earth hesitantly responds in the positive with. The unsuspecting Venus then dismisses the whole situation as some stupid fight between his fellow Rocky planets, making Earth happy, telling the former that he was extremely close to apologizing before Venus made him reconsider things and calls him 'best friend' again. Venus tells Earth in a rather flustered, yet annoyed tone not to call him like that, as it felt awkward. Mercury then arrives to the scene, telling Earth to stop trying to be friends with Venus as it will just end up with each other reinforcing their bad traits with one another. Venus quickly tries to defend himself and tells Mercury that since him and Earth were neighbors, they should be friends. In addition to that, they share almost the same size, mass, density and volume, and since it is also said that they were formed at the same time; Venus says that he was basically 'Earth 2.0' to which Mercury smirks and asks him whether he should state the obvious again. Earth then stands up for Venus and tells Mercury not to be telling Venus that he couldn't have life again and again, growing Venus' smile. Finally, Venus and Earth then leaves, with the former calling Earth 'best friend' to which the Earth responds that Venus was initially right that it was definitely awkward to be called 'best friend', leaving a confused Mercury behind.

**"Is there sound on Mars?"** is the 15th episode by air date and the 39th by chronological order of SolarBalls.

## Synopsis

A special date is approaching, so Astrodude comes up with a plan.

## Characters

* Astrodude
* Astrodude's Wife
* Astrodude's Son
* Houston
* Mars (background character)
* Earth (minor appearance)
* Venus (minor appearance)
* Moon (minor appearance)
* Jupiter (minor appearance)
* Sun (background character)

## Plot

The episode starts with Houston arguing with Astrodude about who would care if there's sound on Mars, to which Astrodude justifies that it is important if humanity were to emigrate to Mars. Ignoring his reason, Houston ridicules Astrodude for requesting a billion-dollar mission to send him a piano and suggests whistling outside instead. His suggestion is rejected by Astrodude due to almost dying after doing his previous idea. Astrodude further uses his words against him, saying that "science is based on experiments, not studies". Left speechless, Houston has no choice but to send him a piano.

In the next scene, Houston demands to get results as it costs his yearly salary. Though astonished at Houston's astronomically high salary, Astrodude plays every note of the piano and discovers that high pitch sounds are indeed imperceptible because of the atmosphere and cold temperatures, just as Google said. Houston tries to scold Astrodude, but was cut off before he could say anything further.

The scene pans to Astrodude's Wife's house, where she hints at their anniversary before Astrodude suddenly plays and sings a song while the planets hear him play. It turns out that Astrodude has a plan all this time, and him requesting a piano on Mars was to play a song for his wife to celebrate the special date. Albeit being surprised at first, Astrodude's Wife is moved to tears. Astrodude ends the song by saying "Happy Anniversary Honey", ending the episode.

## Trivia

* The song played and sang by Astrodude is the song Rocket Man by Elton John.
	+ Additionally, the piano audio was made by Alvaro Calmet.
Deimos

**Deimos** is a character in SolarBalls who is the smaller of the two Martian moons.

## Personality

Deimos with his fellow moon Phobos have very similar personalities. They're crazy, hyperactive, impulsive, and easily scared. He sometimes doesn't think ahead, shown when he accidentally proven Earth's point, and sometimes weirds out even his big brother, as he declares that he ships Titan and Titania together in The Moons of Uranus, much to Phobos’ annoyance. He doesn’t like to be called “cute”, as he expressed irritation when Ariel called he and Phobos “cute things”. Like Phobos, he also has shown a big liking to Titan, calling him their “boss”.

Astroloblins

An Astroloblin

* Eris (in-game)
* Haumea (in-game)

Sojourner

**The Sojourner** is a minor antagonist that is part of S.A.R's team.

## History

The Sojourner was first mentioned by Houston, where it was said that nobody cared when it was sent to Mars on 1997. Later on in the episode while Astrodude was sleeping, S.A.R rescued it and invited it to join his team to conquer space and prove that robots are better at space exploration. When Astrodude tries to stop S.A.R's plan, he breaks the elmet of Astrodude's suit as an attempt to sabotage him, causing gas to leak. According to S.A.R, it was sent with 'promises of glory' like Ball Armstrong, but instead it was abandoned and forgotten just because it was a robot. While on S.A.R's spaceship, it asks why he saved Astrodude, in which S.A.R told it that he was not a threat.

## Personality

Not much is known about its past personality, but what is known is that it doesn't like mistreatment. It became vengeful towards earthlings for abandoning and forgetting him, which was shown when it decided to join S.A.R and when it broke Astrodude's helmet.

Basil

De krokodil in 2022

Welkom op de pagina :)

## Zijn Verhaal

Basil werd geboren samen met zijn nestgenoot Zaza bij een gewone kattenfokker. Misschien een gewone start, maar dat is nu verandert. De twee werden gekocht door mijn tante & nonkel, die in een appartement woonden. Dit kwam natuurlijk niet goed. Zetels gingen kapot, stoelen waren vol met krassen, gordijnen scheurden.. na een jaar gaven ze het op en ving mijn oma Zaza en Basil op in haar huis. Zaza stierf snel aan ziekte, en dat kon je zien omdat ze zowat gek werd. Basil was nog alleen over, maar hij werd snel bevriend met mijn opa. Als mijn opa bv. tv keek, kwam hij uit zijn hoekje gekropen om op zijn schoot te gaan liggen en hem te ambeteren. Daarnaast kreeg hij kanker in zijn achterpoot tot het te erg werd en de poot moest geämputeerd worden. Hij loopt dus rond op drie pootjes :) Spijtig genoeg is mijn opa dit jaar op 1 januari gestorven. (Leuk hé, zo'n feestdag die nooit meer leuk word? :( ). Maar goed, Basil is nu erg eenzaam. In tegenstelling tot vroeger komt hij nu naar mij, in de plaats van te blazen als ik te dichtbij kwam. Hij is dus minder bang geworden! Basil is nu 14 jaar, ik hoop dat hij nog lang mag leven en op z'n minst zijn 15e verjaardag mag vieren :D

## Uiterlijk

Basil is een oude witte kater met goudbruine , bruine, en donkerbruine vlekken. Op die vlekken zitten nog kleine strepen. Hij heeft gele ogen en een zilver snorretje, en hij mist zijn rechterachterpoot.

## Trivia

- Toen ik klein was, heb ik een naampje voor hem verzonnen omdat hij zovaak blies en dreigde te bijten als wilde kinderen in zijn buurt kwamen. Deze naam was Basilletje Krokodilletje :D

- Niemand weet zijn echte verjaardag, de pagina met die informatie was weggevlogen uit het boekje omdat mijn nonkel het buiten had laten liggen en het waaide minstens 50 km per uur.. Ik heb 6 maart uitgekozen omdat hij in het begin van Maart geboren was.

- Sinds zijn 6e jaar heeft hij een geämputeerde poot. (Op de foto kun je zien dat hij maar één achterpoot heeft)

## Illusionist

Enslay is een illusionist, iedere kat uit Verrezand kent haar wel, maar ze is niet bekend in haar land, alleen in haar woonplaats. Ze vindt het leuk om andere katten verbaasd te maken. Ze is nog maar een beginner, maar dat veranderd wel een keer.

Saturn

**Saturn** is a character in SolarBalls who debuted in "Pluto is a Planet again...?".

## Personality

Saturn is a kind-hearted gas giant, but also sometimes condescending and often embarrassing, often because of his tendency to cuten people. He is sometimes shown to be proud of the fact that he has the largest rings in the Solar System though not at an arrogant level and is very polite towards his fellow planets. He is also rather sensitive, as shown in “*Venus wants a Makeover!”* when he starts to tear up to Venus calling him an idiot for accidentally poking the latter's eye while he was "lending" him one of his rings. In the episode, “*Why does Saturn have rings?”*, when Astrodude mentions a theory that suggests that his rings were formed by the remains of his previous moons that were destroyed after getting too close to his gravitational field, he takes it very seriously and started crying before yelling that he killed his moons and leaves the scene in tears.

Saturn also loves his moons dearly but can be seen constantly mispronouncing their names. Titan, who is his largest moon, is also his favourite (a fact that he tries hard not to show through his emotions in order to avoid hurting the feelings of his other moons) and the only one whose name Saturn can correctly pronounce which results with his other moons getting jealous of Titan. Saturn tries to be honest with them regarding the formation of his rings which petrifies the other moons, while awkwardly mentioning that he was never aware of the tragedy regarding the older moons who formed his rings as a result of their destruction. He asks the other moons for forgiveness, promising them that he would be more caring and careful towards them. Only Titan forgives him, making the other moons angry at Titan mentioning that since he was Saturn's favourite, it was way easier for him to forgive their parent planet.

## Trivia

* Saturn is suggested to be the most light-hearted character in the series.
	+ Thus, he is widely considered to be the kindest planet.
* He has appeared in most sponsor sections out of any character.
* His favorite part of the Star Trek franchise is Deep Space Nine.
* Saturn speaks with a Transatlantic accent.
Narrator

It plays a crucial role in delivering additional information and educational content to the viewer, and He shares interesting facts and insights about other planets or other related topics. He doesn't have a physical appearance. Because we can only hear his voice.

Europa

**Europa** is a character in SolarBalls, who is one of the Galilean moons along with Io, Ganymede, and Callisto. She is implied to be dating Ganymede, and is one of the main antagonists of The Moon Revolution Arc alongside Ganymede.

## Personality

Europa is confident and usually agrees with whatever Ganymede says, however she is easily annoyed. When she is annoyed, she will speak in a sarcastic or mocking tone. She is also brave, shown when expressing her thoughts to Ganymede assertively and how she was not so surprised with Phobos and Deimos passing by unlike Ganymede.

Despite her innocent look, she can look fierce and intimidating, shown when she threatened Ganymede to not call anyone "babe" again in a distortedly demonic voice while her eyes glowed red.

However, in The Army of the Moons, she reveals a more sinister, twisted, and manipulative side of her. She was the one who convinced all of Saturn’s moons to ambush Earth, despite some of them hesitating, even willing to recruit some planets to join them in their gang. Her heartless and ruthless personality is shown even further in The Battle of the Planets, when Venus and Mars refused to join them, which ultimately leads her plan into action. In the end, the two planets were too exhausted and injured to fight anymore. Instead of ending the battle altogether, she forces the moons to continue attacking. She is the only moon that showed no remorse for what she had done to the two rocky planets, with her just evilly watching the moons reluctantly bombarding them in the background. Europa continues to be an evil, ambitious, and merciless moon shown in The Moon Revolution - Part 3, when she and Ganymede ordered the army of moons to attack the Earth, even after Earth apologized for his rude behavior to the moons.

## Trivia

* She is the first character to be drawn with eyelashes in SolarBalls.
* In The Moons of Jupiter - Part 2 it is implied that she listens to Jupiter when he enlightens his moons about scientific facts about themselves.
* She makes a brief cameo in "Is the Moon REALLY Leaving Us?" along with other Jupiter moons.
* She is the only character whose changes eye color while being mad.
* She speaks with a Valley Girl accent.
* For some reason, she is commonly shown in the thumbnails of SolarBalls videos as a male (no eyelashes, no "lipstick").

Can planets SHARE an orbit?

**"Can planets SHARE an orbit?"** is the 17th episode by air date and the 17th by chronological order of SolarBalls.

## Synopsis

Mercury has had enough of the sun's solar flares, so he goes to Venus to share his orbit. But is this such a good idea?

## Characters

* Mercury
* Venus
* Sun
* Jupiter

## Plot

After the events of "My Best Friend, the Sun!", Sun apologizes to Mercury for aiming his solar flare, but Mercury leaves without answering. Upon witnessing a charred Mercury, Venus laughs at him as usual. But this time, Mercury disregards his teasing and rants about the Sun's solar flares. He even declares that he would share an orbit with Venus from now on, an idea that was quickly shut down by Venus. However, Mercury furiously insists on doing so, thereby starting a shouting match between the two.

Jupiter comes and mediates between the two by explaining that two planets sharing an orbit would either cause a collision or one of them being hurled into the Sun. Still, Mercury refuses to comply, venting his frustration with the Sun constantly hitting him with solar flares.

The Sun finally steps in and promises not to aim his solar flares at Mercury, and instead aim them with Venus. Relieved, Mercury accepts his offer. On the other hand, an uneasy Venus tries to persuade Sun not to aim them at anyone. This ultimately fails as he is hit by the solar flares, thus ending the episode.
