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.

 It is 43.4 million miles away from the Sun.

It is 67.7 million miles away from the Sun.

Earth and it's moon
