Fact video script: two finished space-fact Shorts, with every number checked

A fact video script leads with the single most surprising fact as a short, almost unbelievable sentence, then explains why it is true in two or three beats, adds one related fact as a bonus, and ends on a line that makes the viewer look at something ordinary differently. Every number should come from a source you can name. Below are two complete scripts whose figures come from NASA’s own fact pages.

A day on Venus (one rotation) lasts about 243 Earth days, longer than its year of about 225 Earth days (NASA).
Venus’s surface is about 467 °C (872 °F), hot enough to melt lead, making it the hottest planet in the solar system (NASA).
The Moon is an average of 384,400 km (238,855 miles) from Earth and moves about an inch farther away each year (NASA).
An eight-scene fact video costs 19 credits on Veedio with still images, or 107 with AI motion clips.
Veedio supports 29 languages, including Hindi, so the same fact script can be written and voiced in Hindi.

Script 1: “A day on Venus is longer than its year” (60 seconds)

8 scenes · about 60 seconds

Scene 1
On Venus, a single day lasts longer than a whole year.
Visual: Cinematic 3D view of Venus glowing pale yellow against black space, slowly turning, the Sun a bright point at the edge of frame.
On screen: A day > a year
Scene 2
Venus spins so slowly that one full turn takes about 243 Earth days.
Visual: 3D render of Venus with a thin rotation arrow around its equator crawling forward, a day counter ticking up beside it.
On screen: 1 day ≈ 243 Earth days
Scene 3
But it gets around the Sun in about 225. So its year finishes before its day does.
Visual: 3D diagram of Venus’s orbit around the Sun, the planet completing a loop while its rotation arrow is still short of a full turn.
On screen: 1 year ≈ 225 Earth days
Scene 4
It also spins backwards compared to Earth. Stand on Venus and the Sun would rise in the west.
Visual: Cinematic view from the surface of a hazy orange landscape, the Sun dimly rising over the western horizon through thick cloud.
Scene 5
Not that you’d want to stand there. The surface is about 467 degrees Celsius. Hot enough to melt lead.
Visual: Close-up of a rocky, cracked volcanic plain glowing faintly, heat haze shimmering above it.
On screen: ≈ 467 °C
Scene 6
That makes Venus the hottest planet in the solar system, even though Mercury is closer to the Sun.
Visual: 3D render of the inner planets in a line, Mercury nearest the Sun and Venus glowing hottest red in a heat-map overlay.
Scene 7
Bonus: the air pressure on the ground is about 93 times what you feel at sea level on Earth.
Visual: Cinematic shot of a thick, swirling yellow atmosphere pressing down over the planet’s surface.
On screen: ≈ 93× Earth’s pressure
Scene 8
So if you lived on Venus, you’d have a birthday before the planet finished turning around once.
Visual: Playful 3D shot of a small birthday cake with one candle on a rock, the hazy Venus horizon behind it and a slow rotation arrow overhead, not yet complete.
On screen: Birthday before one full spin

Script 2: “We only ever see one side of the Moon” (35 seconds)

5 scenes · about 35 seconds

Scene 1
Every person who has ever looked up has seen the same side of the Moon.
Visual: Cinematic night sky over a quiet hillside, a full Moon bright and detailed above the trees.
On screen: Always the same side
Scene 2
Earth and Moon are tidally locked: the Moon turns once per orbit, so the same face always points our way.
Visual: 3D diagram of the Moon orbiting Earth, a marker on its surface always facing Earth throughout the orbit.
Scene 3
It’s an average of 384,400 kilometres away, and it’s drifting about an inch farther every year.
Visual: 3D render of the Earth and Moon with a long dotted line between them and a tiny arrow nudging the Moon outward.
On screen: ≈ 1 inch farther each year
Scene 4
If Earth were the size of a nickel, the Moon would be about as big as a coffee bean.
Visual: Close-up of a small coin beside a single coffee bean on a wooden table, soft side light.
On screen: Coin vs coffee bean
Scene 5
Tonight, you’ll see the exact face your great-great-grandparents saw. Just a little farther away.
Visual: The hillside again, a family seen from behind sitting on a blanket, looking up at the Moon.
On screen: Same face. Slightly farther.

8 alternative hooks

“There’s a planet where your birthday comes before it finishes one spin.”
“Venus has a year shorter than its day. Here’s how.”
“The hottest planet isn’t the one closest to the Sun.”
“On Venus, the Sun rises in the west.”
“You have never seen the far side of the Moon from Earth. Nobody has.”
“The Moon is leaving us, very slowly.”
“Shrink Earth to a coin and the Moon becomes a coffee bean.”
“Your great-great-grandparents saw the exact same Moon you do.”

How to write your own fact video script

Find the fact first, then the source. Use primary sources such as NASA, NOAA, national museums or government statistics offices, and keep the link. If you can’t find a solid source, don’t use the fact.
Turn the fact into the shortest possible surprising sentence. “A day on Venus is longer than its year” beats “Venus has an unusual rotation period.”
Explain why in two or three beats. The explanation is what makes a fact video worth more than a fact list.
Round numbers the way the source does, and say “about” when they are averages. Put the exact figure on screen so it can be checked.
Add one related bonus fact before the ending. It rewards viewers for staying and gives them something to share.
End by connecting the fact to the viewer’s life: a birthday, tonight’s sky, the thing in their pocket.
Name your source in the description. It builds trust and helps when someone challenges a number in the comments.
For a Hindi fact video, write the script in Hindi from the start so the hook lands in natural phrasing, then set the narration language to Hindi.

FAQ

Questions people ask next

Fact video script kaise likhe? (How do I write a fact video script?)

Start with one surprising fact from a reliable source, say it in one short sentence, explain why it is true in two or three lines, add a bonus fact, and end with a line that links it to everyday life. Write in Hindi directly if your audience is Hindi-speaking, rather than translating an English script.

Where do I find facts for fact videos?

Primary sources: NASA and NOAA for space and science, national museums and archives for history, and government statistics offices for numbers about people. Avoid copying facts from other fact channels, because errors spread that way.

How many facts should one fact video have?

One main fact, explained well, plus one bonus. Videos that rattle through ten facts usually explain none of them, and viewers remember less. Save the other facts for their own videos.

How long should a fact video be?

Thirty to 45 seconds for a single fact with an explanation. You can go to 60 seconds for a fact that needs a diagram, or make a three-minute Short that walks through several related facts.

Can fact videos be monetized on YouTube?

They can if the channel meets the Partner Program requirements and the videos are original. Channels that reuse the same template with minimal changes risk the policy on repetitive or mass-produced content, so vary your scripts and add real explanation.

Should I cite sources in a fact video?

Yes, at least in the description, and ideally on screen for the key number. It lets viewers check the fact and protects you when someone disputes it.
