• Earth’s Orbit Around the Sun:
  The earth revolves around the sun in an elliptical orbit, taking approximately 365.25 days to complete one full revolution. This earth movement around the sun, combined with the tilt of earth's axis, explains the cycle of seasons that we experience on our planet.
• Moon’s Orbit Around Earth:
  The moon orbits the earth roughly every 27.3 days, known as a sidereal month. Due to tidal locking, the moon’s movement is synchronized with its orbit, meaning the same side of the moon always faces earth. This alignment is critical for understanding phenomena such as eclipse by the moon, where the moon’s orbit creates opportunities for lunar eclipses and solar eclipses.
• Phases of the Moon:
  As the moon orbits the earth, varying portions of its surface are illuminated by the sun, resulting in different moon phases such as new moon, crescent, first quarter, gibbous, and full moon. These phases are an integral part of earth science and astronomy studies, providing a visual representation of the sunlight and moonlight relationship.
• Solar Eclipse: A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the earth and the sun, casting a shadow on earth. This alignment causes a dramatic phenomenon where portions of the sun become obscured from view, leading to a solar eclipse of the sun.
• Lunar Eclipse: A lunar eclipse occurs when the earth passes between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow on the moon. This event showcases the earth’s shadow on the moon and explains why eclipses don’t happen every month despite the moon’s orbit.
• Explaining the Seasons:
  By tilting the earth’s axis in a science model working model like this, students can observe how different parts of the earth experience varying amounts of sunlight, explaining the difference between solar eclipse and lunar eclipse and the change in seasons. This visual representation helps students understand the earth's movement around the sun and its effects on the environment.
• Understanding Moon Phases:
  With the solar system model working set, students and teachers can visualize how the moon’s position relative to the earth and sun causes the phases of the moon we see from earth. This model serves as a hands-on educational tool for illustrating celestial movements in an engaging, interactive way.
• Eclipses and Planetary Alignments:
  The solar system model also demonstrates the specific alignments required for solar and lunar eclipses, helping children understand the positions of the moon, earth, and sun during these occurrences. The kit explains why solar eclipses and lunar eclipses don't happen monthly, making it perfect for STEM education and science projects.

• Sun: Represented by a large, stationary ball positioned at the center of the solar system model. As the heart of the solar system, the sun plays a key role in various celestial phenomena such as solar eclipses and sunlight and moonlight interaction. Perfect for a science project focused on the earth, sun, and moon.
• Earth: A smaller ball that revolves around the sun, demonstrating the earth’s movement around the sun and illustrating how day and night occur. This working science model allows children to explore how the earth and moon interact, simulating the earth rotating the sun and visualizing the difference between solar and lunar eclipses. This is a great way to introduce students to concepts like planetary science and earth phases.
• Moon: The smallest ball that orbits the earth, demonstrating the moon's movement around the earth. This element allows for the simulation of eclipses by the moon, including lunar eclipses and solar eclipses, helping kids understand the difference between a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse. As they explore these celestial movements, children gain a deeper understanding of astronomy and the interactions between the sun, earth, and moon.

• STEM and Science Education:
