Hi Kids!
This page is for you. It has Astronomy activities you can do, and some very interesting information.



You might be able to make this at school. Ask your teacher

I have made the size of the Sun 300mm, otherwise some of the planets would be too small for you to make.

Start with the Sun by making a ball (a large basketball will do) or drawing a circle 300mm across. Then add the Planets listed below.

Planet                 Diameter in mm                      Distance
Mercury                                     1                                          12.5m
Venus                                      2.6                                          23.3m
Earth                                       2.7                                          32.2m
Mars                                       1.4                                           49m
Jupiter                                     30                                           167.7m
Saturn                                     25                                           307.5m
Uranus                                    10.1                                         618.6m
Neptune                                   9.7                                          970m
Pluto                                        0.4                                         1275m
*Xena (2003UB313)                    0.5                                         2176m

At this scale the nearest Star (Proxima Centauri) is 8,700km away and the centre of our Galaxy is 56,502,120km!!!
*Xena is the Unofficial name of the 10th Planet. Learn more about Xena the 10th Planet HERE
