The sun includes a light socket for illumination. Mounted on a sturdy base labeled with each month of the year for exploring planetary positions throughout the year. The outermost planet sits 18 inches from the sun. Includes a comprehensive experiment guide with three activities, topics for further exploration, a grading rubric, and a planet location table. Suitable for astronomy and earth science classrooms studying our solar system.
