How to create an accurate solar system model? OK, for a project, we have to try and make a model of the solar system. The problem is that we have a 9-meter long room in which to do it and make it completely proportional. Help, please?
How to make a solar system model? I need help for my project. Its about the solar system. I don`t know how to make a solar system model. Well I do know how to make a model but I don't know how to make the models move. I need to know how to make the planets can orbit around the sun. And can you tell me how many styrofoam balls I will need for the planets and what size I should get for the planets (Large, Medium, Small) and which size is right for the planets. Thanks!
How to make a Solar System Model? What kinds of supplies do you need to make a Solar System Model? Do you need construction paper, glue, colored pencils? Like, what kinds of items / supplies do you need to make a Solar System Model? PLEASE list all the possible items / supplies you would need to make a Solar System Model. I don't want to use a package.
How do I do this solar system model? I'm doing a solar system model and I'm a little stuck. I was wondering how much is .0017142 on a ruler (how far do I need to go) and how much is 104 cm on a ruler. Thanks
How to build a Solar System model? I am writing a lesson plan on the solar system and need help on how to build a solar system out of styrofoam balls and clothes hangers, or however that works. Help!

Looking for an online solar system model? I am doing a report and im looking for a program online that allows you to put in a date and the solar system shows what position the planets will be at that date. If anyone knows of one please send it my way. Thanks.
Has anyone built a 3-D model of our solar system? My daughter is entered in her school science fair. She is in 1st grade and has decided to build a model of the solar system. We have looked up facts about the planets already. I was wondering what would be the easiest way to make a solar system model with a 6 year old? I have a couple of ideas but Id like some more. Do you have instructions that are easy to follow and ideas that arent really expensive? Thank you
Creative solar system model ideas? I need to make a solar system model for science to show the distance planets are away from each other and the sun. The project doesn't need to show the size of them to scale just the distances. For example, I could use a long piece of string to show how far away from each other they are. Or like receipt paper and just draw the planets on them. Any more creative ideas????????????? PLEASE!!!!!
Copernicus solar system model? I'm making a model solar system like copernicus' theory. im using one of those styrofoam kits. since copernicus did not have color, should i paint the planets to add to the overall effect or leave them all white? yes thank you captain obvious for reminding me that copernicus had no styrofoam!!!!!! and the sun is yellow, yes i know
What is the proper name for models of the solar system and gyroscope objects? I'm talking about the kind of solar system models with the sun in the middle and the planets on little metal arms orbiting it, like in the end of tomb raider movie or the tiny model in pitch black. The gyroscope kind of thing i mean is like the giant machine in the movie "Contact" where the rings are rotating inside of each other. Thanks for any help.
The bible was once accord with the geocentric model of the solar system? and now all of a sudden it's not? I don't get it? The church men back in the 16th-17th century defended the geocentric model of the universe(solar system) because it went hand in hand with what the bible said. But now we know that it's the earth not the sun. Does that mean the bible is just plain false?
How can i make my project model of the solar system? i have a science project for 8th grade where i have to make a 3d model of the solar system:SUN,MERCURY,VENUS,EARTH,MARS,JUPITER,SATURN, URANUS,THE ASTEROID BELT, AND NEPTUNE. what materials can i use. i know i can make the sun in the middle and put the planets all scattered around it made of clay or styrofome, but waht can i use to loop them around in place and have them stay still? and where can i buy these materials? THANKS ALL GOOD ANSWERS
a model of the solar system? 1)some planets in a model are very small, if you were to make them 10 times larger, what would happen to the size of the Sun in the model? 2)If you are planning to make a three-dimensional scale model of the solar system what would you use to represent the planets? Consider their relative sizes 3)What are the advantages of expressing distances in astronomical units rather than in kilometers?
I am looking for a site or a magazine that helps me make a Solar system model.? I was looking at this link:http://satrun3000.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!E86E1F4A59731028!5104.entry and felt in love with that model but i have been looking for the site to get that(the link they have doesn't work) and have been searching the net but had no success. Instead of a sight to make an orrery. It would be better a site to buy one. If the orrery had details it would be better.
solar system model help? so i have to build a model of the solar system for science, but i don't know how to. i dont want a really diffucult one, it has to be 3D, but i want to make the simplest one they have. please help me.
Current Solar System Model? How were historical solar system models different from our current model? 1. 2. 3. 4. • How is the current solar system model different from historical models? 1. 2. 3. 4. • Can you name 3 ways they are similar? 1. 2. 3. • What is the shape of the orbit of planets and moons? • Which of our solar system’s planets got demoted to a dwarf planet?
Solar System Model? 8th grade? I have to make a model of the solar system. It has to be 3D & presentable. I'm in eighth grade.. any ideas about how i could do it? materials i could use? thank you :)
Solar System Model...Help? i need help on how to make a solar system model. this is a group project and we are deciding to make it rotate.
Science Project Help! Solar System Model? My daughter is working on a solar system model and we need some good ideas for it, materials, arrangements, websites, etc... Best answer by Friday Feb 2nd gets 10 points!
Solar System Model Help!? So, we're making a solar system model and we need to make the planets out of something other than food and styrofoam. We don't have enough time to paper mache'. Any ideas? We can't use rocks either
Making a model of the solar system? For science, I have to make a model of the solar system using a kit. The planets' distances from each other have to be to scale. What's an easy way I could convert the numbers so that it's to scale?
What scale do you use for a model of the solar system? I need to create a drawing of the solar system on two A3 sheets of paper. The sun and plants diameter, and the distance the planets are away from the sun need to be to scale. Could someone tell me the scale to use, to make this work?
What should I make my solar system model out of? here are the specs i got from my teacher's page: Solar System Model Specifications – 4 grades for 3rd grading period due the first week after Spring Break. Any handed in later will lose points and grade value. . (1 extra grade for turning it in before Spring Break.) (2 person Maximum/group) 1-Maximum total height 24 inches unless previously authorized by Dr. Glatzer. (VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO EXCEED THESE SIZE SPECS, unless previously authorized by Dr. Glatzer) 2-When sitting on a surface the whole model should not take up more than 15 x 15 inches square. 3-Remember Pluto has been demoted to a planetoid. 4-No edible food products. This type material gets moldy and attracts critters (roaches, etc). 5-Use parts that are strong such as those made of wood, rubber, paper mache or plastic “spheres”. I don’t encourage the use of Styrofoam so use only if no other choice. Styrofoam models fall apart easily. 6-Avoid materials like clay or Playdough which are too soft and heavy to hold to it cant be made out of styrofoam and i need it very soon
Where can I buy a 3D solar system for science class? She suggested buying a solar system model where it comes with styrafoam balls and i can paint them. or she said i can make or buy a mobile solar system. where the h*ll can buy something complicated like these? Do they sell them in Michael's?
Who proved the heliocentric model of the solar system? I know Copernicus first put forward the idea, and Galileo helped with his findings, but they both died before the heliocentric model was commonly accepted. So who was it and how did they do it? I will select the answer with the most detail.
Why do we believe that the Sun is the center of the Solar System when Geocentric Models were so accurate? When the consensus of the scientist needed to show how a Geocentric solar system worked, then developed actual models of a geocentric solar system. These models worked. They accurately explained observations like retrograde motion of the planets. The models worked so well, they were used as proof that the Earth was in fact the center of the universe. After all, who could argue against the facts when they could see the model with their own eyes? So why don't we accept Geocentric Universe? The models were very accurate! Shouldn't we just accept the models?
Which of the following statements best describes Nicholas Copernicus' model of the solar system? a. Geocentric. The sun, moon, and planets all orbit the Earth along elliptical orbits centered on the Earth. b. Heliocentric. The Earth is a planet orbiting the sun along a perfectly circular orbit just like all of the other planets. c. Geocentric. However, all of the planets (Earth excluded) orbit the sun. Then the sun, along with its companion planets, orbits the Earth along a perfectly circular orbit. d. Heliocentric. The Earth is a planet orbiting the sun along an elliptical orbit just like all of the other planets. e. Geocentric. The sun, moon, and planets all orbit the Earth along perfectly circular Earth-centered orbits.
Build a model solar system Issue 1? If anyone collects this magazine can you tell me what you got with issue 1? I got the 2 baseplates and some rubber feet is that what you got?
Just bought 'build a model solar system' magazine for £2 ...? ...where you get various parts that will end up as a fully working 'orrey' or model solar system with moons and proportion and a shiny metal base and stuff, thing is the £6 a week (after debut £2 issue) magazine has oddly neglected to mention how much the magazine and cost total are, it just reassuringly tells me 'DONT PAY NOW!' This may be a problem as a single issue missed will ruin the model including the motor which is last, can anyone tell me how many issues there are? Thanks, damn £300...but it's very shiny...and it's so hard to find out about these things elsewhere...and its over time...and YOU DONT KNOW HOW SHINY THAT BASE PLATE IS
Scale model of solar system? i made a scale model of the solar system and one AU from sun to the earth is 50 cm what makes all the other planets AU including pluto
Build a model solar system? Does anyone know if this is guaranteed to finish? And if i subscribe will i be able to finish it? Quite a few people have said that these type of model buildings never get fully released. Anyone have any experience with things like this?
