Scale model of the Solar System

When we show models or pictures of the planets, we usually show all the planets at the same time. This is really hard to do with real planets because they have a lot of space between them. In this video, Bill Nye The Science Guy rides his bike across a barren plain to demonstrate a scale model of the solar system. Enjoy it!!

Cuando vemos modelos o dibujos del sistema solar, los planetas están muy próximos unos a otros. Esto nos crea una visión errónea de las distancias que existen entre ellos. En el siguiente vídeo, Bill Nye nos muestra un modelo del sistema solar a escala. ¡Esperamos que os guste!

We are so big... and yet so tiny!

We are learning new things about the Earth and the Universe in year 5. In this video you can see the planets in our Solar System compared to the biggest stars in the Universe. Enjoy it!!

And here is another interesting site you can visit. It gives us a view of the microscopic world as well as the macroscopic world (Universe). Click on the link below the image.
