    Did you know that the Voyager 2 spacecraft took 12 years to travel from Earth to Neptune, the furthest planet in the solar system? This sounds like a really long time! Maybe not that long if you consider what distance the spacecraft had to travel to get from Earth to Neptune. In this activity, you will make a model of the planets in the solar syste...

    You probably noticed how the four planets closest to the Sun (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are all much closer to the Sun (at 4, 7, 10, and 15 cm from the Sun in your model) compared to the other four planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune). These last four are much more spread out (at 50, 95, 190, and 300 cm from the Sun in your model)....

    Planets are celestial bodies that orbit (or circle around) a star. In our planetary system, this star is the Sun. Planets are not self-luminous, they do not emit light like the stars, but they can be seen in the sky because they reflect light emitted by other celestial objects. The Solar System is the system of objects that orbit the Sun directly o...

    Let your planets circle around the Sun at different speeds and see what happens to their relative positions.
    Calculate how small the planets would need to be to represent them accurately in your shrunken model. You can find the necessary information on the Solar Planet Data Sheet.
    Make a second model that accurately represents the different sizes of the planets in the solar system. One way to do this is explained in the How Big Are the Planets in Our Solar System?activity.
    Measure the distances between planets, example between Earth and Neptune. In what position on their orbit do the planets need to be for the distance to be the shortest possible, and in what positio...

  4. Sep 17, 2024 · Exoplanets are very hard to see directly with telescopes. They are hidden by the bright glare of the stars they orbit. So, astronomers use other ways to detect and study these distant planets. They search for exoplanets by looking at the effects these planets have on the stars they orbit.
