Scale In The Solar System
Instructions and teacher guides for making scale models of the solar system, Saturn,and comets. Scale in the solar system. Make a Scale Model solar system.
http://cosmos.colorado.edu/~urquhart/Scale/

Extractions: The following activities are designed for elementary and/or middle school. Each is designed to aid students in understanding the nature of solar system in terms of the sizes and/or distances of objects in the solar system. Students will construct scale models using common materials and compare their models to the scaled size of the Earth. The activities below can easily be made into math activities by requiring students to calculate scaled sizes or distances using the scale factors provided. Each activity has a different scale factor. Why use these scale models in the classroom? Why use scale models with different scale factors? Make a Scale Model Solar System Grades 4-6 In this two-part activity, students use common objects to represent the Sun and planets and make a scale model solar system with a scale of 1 to 10 billion. Can be easily adapted to other grade levels. This activity is based on the Colorado Model Solar System on the campus of the University of Colorado at Boulder Teacher Guide
A Quest For Creation Answers
We do hope that our current research of the EarthMoon system will be ofgreat benefit in furthering your study of a created solar system.
http://www.creation-answers.com/

Extractions: Design P resented at this site is a collection of articles and books that address the question of time design (and more). T he online publications represent the results of an enduring research project. The project is headed-up by James Dwyer. (Jim was formerly a Computer Systems Programmer with the U.S. Geological Survey). Team members also include Sherry Goodwin. F or comprehensive information concerning what appears to be interrelatedness of the Earth-Moon, please refer to the literature linked from the opposite column. As is amply shown from the currently linked literature, the Earth-Moon appears to generate time cycles that are intelligent in their design. A satisfactory systems view of the rates of solar days, lunar phases, and solar years is not only possible but an interpretation of interrelated time design seems quite easy to comprehend. It is very clear that rates of days, lunar phases, and years may represent codependent rates (or more than independent rates).
Downsize The Solar System

http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/solarsys.htm

Extractions: The US Congress today, in an effort to recify the current stalemate with the President over the continuing resolution has made a dramatic announcement. In an effort to reduce the NASA budget, a resolution was passed today to downsize the solar system. According to an unnamed congressional staffer, House Republicans felt there has been "too much redundancy in the solar system" and that streamlining the 4.5 billion year old planetary system is long overdue. Such action would give NASA fewer places to go and this would allow the agency to carry out its space exploration goals within the funding profile that the House proposed earlier this summer. "Look, we have three terrestrial planets" said Congressman Rip U. Apart (R, Del.), "and only one of them really works! So why not get rid of the other two and clean up the neighborhood?" Most subcommittee members felt that while downsizing was definitely in the cards, eliminating both Mars and Venus was going too far. "We have too many international commitments to Mars." said Rush N. Hater (R, Calif.). "So I think we should keep Mars and dump Venus. Its too hot to live on, and liberal Democrats keep using it as an example of what global warming can do. So from a political and practical point of view, Venus has got to go." Also at risk is the planet Mercury which lacks support because of its small size and poor visibility from Earth. "Who needs it?" asked Congressman Newt Onian (R, N.C.). "Have you ever seen it? I haven't. So what good is it? We just don't need useless planets. And speaking of useless planets, what about the asteroids? If you've seen one, you've seen them all. So I say we ought to get rid of the little boogers once and for all."

The Nine Planets
A multimedia tour of the Sun and the solar system prepared by the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory at the University of Arizona.
http://seds.lpl.arizona.edu/nineplanets/nineplanets/sol.html

Extractions: The Nine Planets is an overview of the history, mythology, and current scientific knowledge of each of the planets and moons in our solar system. Each page has text and images, some have sounds and movies, most provide references to additional related information. All of the planets can be seen with a small telescope; most can be seen with binoculars. And large telescopes continue to provide much useful information. But the possibility of getting up close with interplanetary spacecraft has revolutionized planetary science. Very little of this site would have been possible without the space program. Nevertheless, there's a lot that you can see with very modest equipment or even with just your own eyes. Past generations of people found beauty and a sense of wonder contemplating the night sky. Today's scientific knowledge further enhances and deepens that experience. And you can share in it by simply going out in the evening and looking up Contents Hardcopy The New Solar System
A Scale Model Of The Solar System
This applet is the obligatory scale model of the solar system. Distanceis in AUs, velocity in AUs per hour, mass in units of 10
http://burtleburtle.net/bob/physics/solar.html

Extractions: This applet is the obligatory scale model of the solar system. Distance is in AUs, velocity in AUs per hour, mass in units of 10 pounds, yielding G=1.2944x10 . Initial positions are accurate to about 5 digits. The simulation doesn't account for relativity, oblateness of the sun, solar winds, asteroids, galactic gravitational flux, and any number of other things. The numbers in the corner count how many displays have been done and the fractional error in energy conservation. It starts 1am on January 1, 1999. To start or stop, click. To spin around the sun, click in the middle and drag. To rotate and zoom, click near the edges and drag. The sun remains in the center; there are no controls yet to change that, or to change the distance from the sun. I also have and applet description , some online references for how to build a solar system simulator, a set of stable orbits filling 3-space , a page exploring gravitation with Java , a simulation of Cruithne , and Klemperer rosettes sun mercury venus earth+moon mars jupiter saturn uranus neptune pluto The US Navy provides the coordinates of all planets now, and at any other time give or take a century. I used this for my initial coordinates. (Position is at 1am on January 1, 1999, and velocity is half of 2am minus midnight.)

World Almanac For Kids
The solar system. Nine planets, including Earth, travel around theSun. These planets, together with the Sun, form the solar system.
http://www.worldalmanacforkids.com/explore/space.html

Extractions: The Planets are in Motion The planets move around the Sun along oval-shaped paths called orbits . One complete path around the Sun is called a revolution . Earth takes one year, or 3651/4 days, to make one revolution around the Sun. Planets that are farther away from the Sun take longer. Some planets have one or more moons . A moon orbits a planet in much the same way that the planets orbit the Sun. Each planet also spins (or rotates) on its axis. An axis is an imaginary line running through the center of a planet. The time it takes Earth to rotate on its axis equals one day. Facts About the Planets Unmanned Space Missions Big Questions Astronauts in Outer Space ... Did you know about Space?

Photodesk: Orrery
Powerful solar system simulator, with heliocentric and geocentric viewpoints.
http://www.photodesk.ltd.uk/space/orrery/index.html

Extractions: area index The publication in 1543 of Nicolas Copernicus's heliocentric (sun-centred) model of the solar system produced serious objections from leading astronomers who based their science on a Ptolomaic or Earth Centred model. To overcome these objections, several Copernican Planetaria were constructed consisting of globes rotating in a framework to represent the members of the solar system in their approximate relative sizes, motions and positions. Perhaps the most famous of these was a late arrival to the scene, invented in 1710 by George Graham and named for his patron, Charles Boyle, the Fourth Earl of Orrery. Thus originated the word "Orrery" which is now commonly applied to all instruments of this kind. No significant advance in the development of aids to the understanding of the solar system, orbital mechanics and the night sky were made until the arrival of the projection planetarium, the first example of which was installed in Munich Museum in 1923 and later developed as a commercial projector by Zeiss and installed in museums all over the world. The mechanical orrery, with its finely engineered mechanism, its many moving parts and elegant appearance, unfortunately was not only an expensive device, but limited in its application as anything other than a crude demonstration model. Its usefulness in the classroom, or as a tool for the astronomer was, therefore, similarly limited. The planetarium, of course, is anything but a crude demonstration model, but given its size and expense, (the Zeiss projector is 17 feet high, weighs 212 tons and has 29000 moving parts, projecting on a dome 49 feet in diameter!) it would not find its way into many classrooms!

Extractions: Dr. Kavelaars received his Ph.D. from Queen's University in Kingston ON in 1998. He is currently a Research Associate working in the Dept. of Physics and Astronomy at McMaster University and engaged in studies of the outer solar system (the Kuiper Belt ), searching for satellites of Uranus and Saturn , and the using globular star clusters as probes of galaxy formation and dark matter halos. Research Projects Globular Star Clusters Cluster of 10s of thousands of stars, globular star clusters are the robust and ubiquitous sign-posts of the process of galaxy formation. Using images of the globular cluster systems of elliptical and lenticular galaxies I am working towards understanding the timings of the galaxy formation process. The Kuiper Belt Beyond the orbit of Neptune lies a vast reservoir of ice cometary material. The chunks and hunks of material in this region range from a few meters to 100s of kilometers in size. I am currently actively searching this region of the solar system, attempting to catalogue its contents and map its structure. Irregular Satellites Planetary satellites which do not orbit in the planets equatorial plane are called irregular satellites. I am part of the team which discovered 5 irregular moons of the planet
