The Solar System

To the right we have the enormous gas ball at the centre of the solar system, the Sun.

Today was our chance to research how the solar system works by acting it out. Below we have the nine planets counting how many steps it would take them to orbit the sun( obviously the further away from the sun the planet is, the further it would have to travel, therefore it would take more time). We learned that it would take the Earth 1 year and Pluto 248 years to orbit the sun.
