Copernican Solar System     Model # SOL-100

This model illustrates the solar system as it truly is, based on the heliocentric theory of Copernicus. It highlights the ten planets of our Sun’s system, including the asteroid belt, represented by a wire in place of a planet.

With the help of an included chart, you can set the positions of the planets month by month, allowing you to demonstrate their motions in relation to one another. This hands-on activity also shows why space travel is so complex.

The Copernican Solar System model is especially valuable when compared with the Ptolemaic Solar System model, offering students a deeper understanding of early and modern theories of our place in the universe.

Each model includes the instruction book “Worlds in Motion” and weighs 5 lbs for easy portability.

For over 90 years, Trippensee® desktop planetariums have been trusted in schools and homes alike, providing clear, visual demonstrations of the solar system in motion.

Perfect for classrooms, libraries, or home astronomy learning.
