Its liquid hydrosphere is unique among the terrestrial planets, and it is the only planet where plate tectonics has been observed. This model strikes a balance between appealing to children and adults, and it offers a nice color gradient paint job or a matte white finish for you to choose from.You want a realistic night sky:It comes with two disks — one featuring a starry night sky and the other featuring overlays of constellations — both of which are correct to the time and date you're using it. Depending on the model you choose, star projectors can recreate the night sky accurately from the comfort of your own home, surrounding you with stars, constellations and double as galaxy projectors. Most of the larger moons orbit their planets in prograde direction, matching the planetary rotation; Neptune's moon Triton is the largest to orbit in the opposite, retrograde manner. During our Aurora Borealis Northern Lights Star Projector review, we were impressed with the musical rhythm mode. Hypotheses include that its outer layers were stripped off by a giant impact, or that it was prevented from fully accreting by the young Sun's energy.

Planetariums on the other hand are strictly realistic and accurate depictions of the night sky, which are sometimes even time and location-sensitive to show you the night sky as it appears at a given time. The Sun is the dominant gravitational member of the Solar System, and its planetary system is maintained in a relatively stable, slowly evolving state by following isolated, gravitationally bound orbits around the Sun. The Local Bubble is a small superbubble compared to the neighboring wider Radcliffe Wave and Split linear structures (formerly Gould Belt), each of which are some thousands of light-years in length. The cheaper models tend to be destined to be used as night lights and are generally inaccurate in their depiction of the night sky.Asteroids in the asteroid belt are divided into asteroid groups and families based on their orbital characteristics. When the lights are turned off, the stars on the globe illuminate and their projection can be seen on the walls and ceiling. Solar System Simulator is an immersive online game that allows you to explore and interact with our very own solar system.

Compared to many extrasolar systems, the Solar System stands out in lacking planets interior to the orbit of Mercury. The Sun's Hill sphere, the effective range of its gravitational dominance, is thought to extend up to a thousand times farther and encompasses the hypothetical Oort cloud. The bubble is suffused with high-temperature plasma, suggesting that it may be the product of several recent supernovae. In an interactive new exhibit at the NASA Headquarters in Washington, visitors are invited to see Earth as NASA sees it from space.

This model is silver and black and shares the same basic features and projections as its National Geographic counterpart.

The latter have orbits whose periods are in a simple ratio to that of Neptune: for example, going around the Sun twice for every three times that Neptune does, or once for every two. At the Earth Information Center, the public can glimpse what this data has taught us about sea level rise, air quality, wildfires, greenhouse gases, ice cover, and agriculture. All of the giant planets and a few smaller bodies are encircled by planetary rings, composed of ice, dust and sometimes moonlets.

As of 2022, the precise location of the Solar System in the clouds is an open question in astronomy.
