Solar System Manual Model STEM Lab Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-OS-12466

This precision-crafted STEM lab kit features a centrally illuminated model of the Sun surrounded by the eight planets of our solar system, properly color-coded and structurally relative. Mounted on independent, gear-driven manual arms, the planets can be rotated around the central axis to simulate real planetary orbits.

The model provides a multi-sensory approach to teaching:

Planetary Orbits: Visualizing revolutionary periods (e.g., how Mercury orbits faster than Neptune).

Planetary Alignment: Demonstrating the conditions required for conjunctions and planetary configurations.

Axial Tilts and Scales: Introducing the relative differences in planetary sizes and distances from the Sun.

How to Use the Model

Lab Setup: Place the model on a flat, stable laboratory workstation. Insert the batteries or connect the low-voltage DC adapter to power the central sun light.

Initial Alignment: Align all planetary arms to a single starting meridian to establish a baseline for revolutionary comparison.

Manual Simulation: Manually push the planetary arms to observe the difference in path length and orbital span between inner terrestrial planets and outer gas giants.

Lighting the Core: Dim the laboratory lights and switch on the central Sun LED to observe how light casts realistic planetary shadows, introducing day/night cycles on a macro scale.

Measurement: Use the printed degree scales on the pedestal base to calculate the angular displacement of specific planets over simulated timelines.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Are the planets scaled exactly to actual physical size?

A: The model utilizes a modified scale. If an exact volumetric scale were used, the outer planets would be too large for a classroom setting, while inner planets would be invisible particles. However, the relative sizes (e.g., Jupiter being the largest) are strictly maintained to respect structural accuracy.

Q2: Does the model operate on a motorized or automated drive?

A: This is a manual model. Manual operation encourages active engagement, allowing students to physically manipulate individual orbits, slow down cycles, and understand the core mechanics through tactile feedback.

Q3: Can this model be cleaned or sanitized easily?

A: Yes. The industrial UV-resistant coatings tolerate wiping with a damp microfiber cloth or mild antiseptic wipes without fading or degrading the print details
