Solar System

In science we have been studying the solar system. We decided to create the solar system to scale in order for us to see the distances between each planet. Our scale was 1 inch = 1 million miles.






The Sun is the center of our solar system.



Mercury 
 It is 43.4 million miles away from the Sun.


Venus
It is 67.7 million miles away from the Sun.



Earth and it's moon
It is 94.5 million miles away from the Sun.



Mars
It is 154.8 million miles away from the Sun.



Jupiter
It is 507.0 million miles away from the Sun.



Saturn
It is 936.0 million miles away from the Sun.



Uranus
It is 1,867.0 million miles away from the Sun.



Neptune
It is 2,818.0 million miles away from the Sun.



Pluto
It is 4,586.0 million miles away from the Sun.

Can you see the Sun? Our Sun is standing on the sidewalk next to the school.
