Step 1 of 10
Welcome: a journey through the Solar System
Almost every picture of the Solar System you've seen is wrong — on purpose. Today you'll see it for real.
In this lesson you'll:
- compare the Sun and planets drawn to the same scale
- feel how far apart they are — and how long light takes to cross that gap
- launch your own satellite to discover why things orbit
- find out what really causes seasons, Moon phases and eclipses
About 50 minutes. Every step has something to play with: try it, read the short explanation, then press Done to move on.
