Because we can't yet actually go there.
A mathematical model or computer simulation is a poor substitute for the real thing, but for now, it will have to do. We send robot probes to Mars, to Titan, to orbit Jupiter and Saturn and Venus, and we create simulations of what things might be like there. It's better than nothing....

∙ 13y agomodels are used to explain the solar system because to show similarities and how they look also to sort of describe how far they are from each other and to help scientists to find more info!

∙ 11y agowhen you use a solar system model you can put a picture in your head that oh those planets are in our solar system and get to see which ones are the biggest or the smallest. But, when it comes to disavantages that anotheer story, you see you can't imangine the actual thing in real life unless you see it. Either way you get to see the solar system.

∙ 12y agobeacuse it will help you look at how big or small a planet is, since you cannont bring each one down to earth

∙ 14y agoBecause it helps you remember the order of the panets. That and i think that teachers dont have nay other way.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoIf you're bored by the explanation, at least you can still engage your imagination and
rapt attention by ogling the model for as long as it lasts.

What are some superstitious belief about planets?
Solar system
What does the word solar mean in the word solar system?
the word solar means anything that has to do with the sun or utilizing the energy from it. some uses of the word solar include solar energy and solar eclipse.
What are some words that are related to space?

What are the advantages of using solar hot water systems?
A solar hot water system uses solar panels to heat the water. Some advantages of using a solar hot water system is it uses renewable energy, and it lowers heating costs.
What are some ethical considerations in using solar power?
While solar power has many advantages to offer, you must first make some ethical considerations to determine if implementing a solar power system has more advantages over disadvantages. You must consider whether the system will impact the natural habitat of wildlife in the area or if the lives of people living in the area will be disrupted.
What is the device that shows planetary alignments - it starts with an o?
An orrery is a mechanical model of the solar system (or a part of the solar system) which displays the planets and some of the moons in their proper locations and orientations.
What is a model of a globe?
Planet Earth. or some other solar system body, depending on how it is painted and configured.

Planet Earth. or some other solar system body, depending on how it is painted and configured.
What are some advantages of larger financial institutions over smaller ones?
No. There is no life in human form on the other planets in the Solar System.
What are some advantages and limitations of solar system models?
A solar system allows a star to exist in a stable condition by taking most of the angular momentum that arose when the star condensed from a random cloud of gas. Without a solar system the average star would spin much too fast and start to fly apart, forming another solar system.
What are some advantages from solar power?
It is free and last a lifetime.
How is the solar system similar to the bohr?
The Bohr model describes an atom as having a central nucleus where most of the mass is concentrated, around which electrons orbited at discrete distances, somewhat like the solar system with the sun where the atom's nucleus would be (and again, most of the mass) and the planets orbiting it. In an atom, electrostatic forces attract the electrons to the nucleus; in the solar system, gravity is the binding force.
Why scientist say that your solar system created 65 million years ago?
They don't. Do some reading on the Solar System (for example, in Wikipedia); the current estimate for the age of the Solar System is between 4-5 billion years.They don't.
