Solar System Model
The Solar System Model (Product Code: SLE/GG/01) is a classroom demonstration model of the planets revolving around the Sun, with the satellites (moons) of the planets also shown. The whole assembly is mounted on a base marked with the 12 zodiac signs, linking the planets’ paths to the constellations of the zodiac seen from Earth. Manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, it is used in geography rooms, science laboratories and astronomy clubs in schools.
Key Details
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Solar system demonstration model |
| Planets shown | Nine planets revolving around the Sun (traditional nine-planet layout) |
| Satellites | Satellites of the planets are also shown |
| Base | Mounted on a base with the 12 zodiac signs |
| Suitable for | Classroom teaching of the solar system, orbits, moons and the zodiac |
Typical Use
Teachers use the model to show the order of the planets outward from the Sun, the idea that planets travel in orbits while moons circle their planets, and the contrast between the small rocky inner planets and the large outer ones. Pointing to each planet in turn while students name it is a quick way to fix the sequence in memory before moving on to distances and orbital periods.
The zodiac ring on the base helps explain why the Sun appears to pass through different constellations during the year as Earth travels round it — a topic that is hard to follow from flat diagrams. The nine-planet layout also gives a ready discussion point: astronomers now class Pluto as a dwarf planet, so current textbooks list eight planets. Together with an Earth globe and a star globe, it forms a compact set of astronomy lab equipment for middle-school geography and science.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many planets does the model show?
It is described as showing nine planets revolving around the Sun, the traditional count. Since Pluto is now classed as a dwarf planet, contact us before ordering if your syllabus needs the eight-planet convention.
Are the moons of the planets included?
Yes, the satellites of the planets are shown on the model.
What is marked on the base?
The base carries the 12 zodiac signs, useful for lessons on the Sun’s apparent path through the constellations.
Is it a motorised or hand-cranked model?
The product description does not mention a drive mechanism, so please contact us to confirm how the planets are mounted and whether they move.
How should the model be looked after?
Dust it with a soft dry cloth, avoid solvents on painted parts and keep it out of strong direct sunlight to protect the colours.
Can schools order it in quantity?
Yes. We supply schools and distributors in India and international markets; add it to the enquiry cart with the number required.
