The Solar System in Scale
When we speak about the Solar System we are referring to the eight planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune), their moons, asteroids and all the other celestial bodies that fall within the Sun’s zone of gravitational influence, but how big is the solar system? What are the true sizes of the planets? The Computer Science First Platform allows us to create a scale model and understand the relative dimensions and distances amongst the various planets. An activity that can be conducted immediately in the classroom to excite all students about the science of the sky.
