Scale of the Earth in relation to the Solar System- Milky Way and... Beyond!
Here are some videos to help understand the size of the Earth, Moon and Sun and other planets and objects in our Solar System. The sun is the biggest object in our Solar System, taking up 99% of the room. It is actually a Star, just like other stars in the Milky Way Galaxy we can see at night- that are not part of our Solar System. Did you know, there are billions of galaxies? Pretty cool to imagine. After watching these videos you may like to try and build something from our Solar System using Minecraft or Lego, there is a tutorial for Minecraft as the last video. Share a picture of your creation in the class forum. Was it difficult to create trying to stay to scale? Why do you think this is?
