The Solar System

Lesson: Science

To begin to understand the relative size of and distance between objects in the Solar System we are making a simple scale model. We used a scale of 2mm to 4880km. Using this scale Earth is 5mm across and the sun is 572mm. The distance between the sun and Earth would be 150m.

Hopefully, we'll have video explanations to follow!
