Not sure what your level is; this may not be appropriate. You can make a pin-hole projector and actually project an image of the sun onto a piece of cardboard. If you do it right, you can get an image that is large enough so that sunspots may even be visible! You could also have classmates do an actual estimate of the diameter of the sun (or you could explain how you did it with your projector). If you carefully measure the distance between the pinhole and the surface you project the sun's image onto, and then carefully measure the diameter of the image right at that distance, you can do something interesting. The proportion of the 2 lengths is the same, no matter how big the distance gets. Can you see how you would "measure" the diameter of the sun this way? By the way, never, never, never look directly into the sun.

∙ 12y agoTo do a Solar System project it will be way easier over Google Presentations and Google Documents may also get Styrofoam balls and make them as the planets then glue those on a poster board.you paint the balls as the planets in order and write facts on the planets.It will vary on your specific kind of project.

What is difference between real solar system and a project solar system?
A typical science project model will almost by default show the planets too large for the orbits / too close for their sizes. If the model was six feet across, and in true scale, the Earth would be only one inch from the Sun and won't be visible without a jeweler's loupe. If the Earth was a respectable inch in diameter and the other planets and orbits to scale, the Sun would be more than eight feet tall and over two miles away!
Is the sun most mass in the solar system?
Yes; the Sun has over 99% of all the mass of the Solar System.
Is the asteroids from solar system?
Yes, asteroids are found in our solar system. It is estimated that over 100,000 asteroids are located in the belt between Jupiter and Mars.
Your world how it was created and the solar system?
A black hole over time kept sucking air in. After about 2 milion years, it exploded, sling-shooting out the Solar System.
How do you get comets?
they come from the left over matter from when that solar system was first made
What would be a science-fair-worthy 6th grade science project?
Hmm... Over the top would be something like a automatic fork that spins. A solar system is a over used project, but a solar system that has the planets spinning and revolving would be really cool. To get even more scientific make the planets go slow if they spin slow and faster if they spin faster. Those are my ideas bye bye

How science chanded over time?
How science has changed over time is easy. Science has improved science , well it improves almost every year. We find new cures for sickness. One way we can tell big time that science has changed is that in the late 1900's scientists thought to believe that the earth was in the middle of the solar system. But now, science science has improved, by doing lab work, sending people off into space, and telescopes, we now no that that statement was wrong. We now no that the sun is in the middle of the solar system. Thanks to new science materials.
Are there any stars ahead of your solar system?
Yes. There are no stars in the Solar System besides the Sun but there are over billions of stars out of our Solar System.
Is rigel in the solar system?
No. Rigel is a star over 800 light years away from out solar system. The only star in the solar system is the sun.
What is lagest planet in solar system?
In our solar system, the planet Jupiter is the largest - at over 1,300 times the volume of Earth (and over 300 times the mass).
What is difference between real solar system and a project solar system?

Is the sun bigger than solar system?
Our sun is not bigger than the solar system. The sun is a star, and it contains over 99.9% of the mass of the solar system, but the solar system is much bigger than the sun.
Is alka seltzer good to do for a science fair project?
it could be a easy fun project but not always. you will get an alkaseltzer project approved but a science teacher will not be crazy about it. think it over p.s. good luck
Which body accounts for more than 99 percent of the mass of the solar system?
The sun contains over 99% of the mass of the solar system. The numbers reveal that the sun actually contains over 99.8% of the mass of the solar system.
Is there any other galaxy in the solar system?
None in the solar system itself, but over 500 trillion in the rest of the universe.
Is the solar system bigger Than Moon?
The Moon is within the Solar System. The Moon has a diameter of 1,738.14 km whereas the Solar System has an imaginary boundary of over 30 billion km.
