I did a google search for this and came up with this site.\n\nNine Planets: http://www.nineplanets.org/intro.html\n\nIf you scroll down the home page on this site, you will find a list of FAQ's with links to other pages. If you continue on you will see a list of links to other astronomy sites. I checked out the Nine Planets for kids link and it looks like what you're after. It is kid friendly and offers several free printouts for teachers. Check it out!\n\nhttp://www.nineplanets.org/index.html\n\nGood luck and happy star watching!

All the solar system models you can buy are not to scale, which is OK if all you want to do is show the planets in the right order. But I much prefer a scale model. Only trouble is, it is WAY to big to make indoors. Jupiter is 10 times bigger than Earth and the Sun is 10 times bigger than Jupiter, so if Earth is a 1 inch ball, you need a 10 inch ball to be Jupiter (a basketball is 10 inches) and a 100 inch ball (8 feet 4 inch) for the Sun. Maybe a weather balloon would do. What I did instead was say that the basketball was the Sun, a one inch ball was Jupiter and a 1/10 inch pinhead was Earth. The other planet sizes can be calculated with the first link in the sources below. If the Sun is 10 inches, then Mercury is 34 feet away, Earth is 89 feet away and Pluto is about 2/3 of a mile away. What I did was take the class for a walk outside. We walked 2/3 of a mile from the school, setting up planets as we went. Or you could just set them in a row on the table and have the correct distances written on an information sheet. The whole point is that the planets are really small and really far apart. The models where the sun is only twice as big as Earth just are not convincing.

Hi, \n \nSince you have asked "How", I would say the best place to start would be one of the text books. Thats because they always have things in the right sequence. \n\nAlso, you can find almost anything you want to learn about Space on internet. A good place to start would be \nhttp://www.answers.com/topic/space-science?method=6\n\nHere there are a lot of links. Also, any term that you don't understand can be easily researched, as links for terms are also given. \n\nDo not forget to use www.google.com, when in doubt.\n\nHappy Reading! \nAll the best.

Go to Heavens Above.  They have a lot of information about the planets, as well as satellites that have been placed in orbit or sent out into the solar system.\n\nhttp://www.heavens-above.com

No we still have a lot to learn about our solar system, especially the outer planets.  This is in part because they are fairly far away and it takes a while, and a good deal of funding to get out there.  In the case of the gasious Jovian planets this is also because we cant see beneath the very tops of their clouds.  There are strange things that appear to be going on in their interiors but it's hard to get data on this when the pressures would easily crush any spacecraft soon into its decent.

Get some Wintergreen lifesavers.\n\n(P.S. - this really belongs in the Chemistry group, not the Astronomy group)

Sun, mercury, venus, earth, mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, pluto.\n\nThis is second grade stuff.
