The Orbit Orrery model of the Sun lights up and features the planets as far as Neptune
The Earth has a moon and the planets can be moved around the Sun by hand and the Moon around the Earth
This orrery is suited to demonstrating the shape and motions of the solar system at Key Stage 2 and 3 levels of education in astronomy
It demonstrates the overall shape of the solar system and the relative movements of the planets and the Earth's moon
The hands‐on model with teaching guide helps pupils understand the solar system including its shape, the sun as the source of its light, planetary orbits, the planets' names and which planets may be seen on given days
The planets, can be rotated by hand around the Sun which lights up while the moon can be rotated around the Earth
The planets are relative in terms of their size as they appear in the solar system
Overall height: 100mm
Diameter of largest Orbit 38cm
Requires 2 x AA batteries (not included) to light the sun
