The planets, revolution, rotation and the Moon: a 3D model for Class 6 Science, covering The Sun is a star; Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are planets…, Planet order outward from the Sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, An orbit is the path; revolution is going round the Sun (or a planet) along it; rotation is spinning about an axis, All planets revolve in the same direction (anticlockwise seen from the north side), Planets farther from the Sun take longer to go round it: inner planets have short years, outer planets very long ones.

  • Planet order outward from the Sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
  • An orbit is the path; revolution is going round the Sun (or a planet) along it; rotation is spinning about an axis
  • All planets revolve in the same direction (anticlockwise seen from the north side)
  • Planets farther from the Sun take longer to go round it: inner planets have short years, outer planets very long ones
  • Earth rotates once a day and revolves once a year
  • The Moon orbits Earth in about 27.3 days relative to the stars and rotates once in the same time…
  • The 29.5-day cycle of phases is different from the 27.3-day orbit
  • Changing the time scale changes every rate by the same factor; period ratios do not change
  • Many planets have moons of their own: Earth 1, Mars 2 small ones, Jupiter four big Galilean moons, Saturn Titan…
