Solstice and Equinox (“Suntrack”) Season Model

Sun Track Model 4 Winter solstice was of particular interest to many pre-technological cultures. Because the Sun rose and set at a very southern/low point, people were concerned that it might continue its southward journey,

The Sun in the Electromagnetic Spectrum

The image shows a portion of the layer of the Sun's atmosphere known as the chromosphere, just above the Sun’s surface. Most of the UV light comes from the sunpot "active regions", where we can sometimes see loops, large prominences rising high above the surface of the Sun. At the north and south poles of the Sun, less UV light is emitted ...

A Scale Model of the Solar System

Purpose: Construct a scale model of the solar system to familiarize the student with the relative sizes and positions of the planets in the solar system and the vast distances between them and between the Sun and other stars. A convenient scale has 1 foot representing 1 million miles. This same scale has 1000 miles representing 1 light-year.
