Solar System Mobile

This is a solar system mobile for kids that was made by my 5 years old niece.

She learned there exists 9 planets, the Sun is in its center, and that Saturn has rings.

She painted Styrofoam balls in several colors in order to differentiate every planet and the Sun.

There are 8 planets: Mercury (nearer to the sun), Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune (more distant to the Sun).

Until a few years ago, Pluto was the ninth planet, the most moved away of the Sun. Nowadays, Pluto is a planeotide because he is too small. In fact, it is only a subject of criteria.

The solar system mobile kit was something old and it brought 9 styrofoam balls but, at the photo, we can see 8 painted styrofoam balls because one of them is behind the Sun.
