Today we went for a walk to demonstrate the scale of the solar system. Everything was shrunk down so that the sun was the size of a ball. We couldn’t believe how small Earth was in comparison!<\/p>\n

We walked between the planets to see how far apart they were. Some are closer than others. Mercury is only 10 steps from the Sun but we had to walk another 9 for Venus, 7 for Earth, 14 for Mars, then 95 for Jupiter, another 112 for Saturn, 249 for Uranus and finally another 281 for Neptune. This took us over the cattle grid!<\/p>\n
