Solar System
Product Code : SCL-ALE-11951
Solar System (SKU SCL-ALE-11951) is an educational astronomy model for introducing the Sun, the planets, planetary order and the basic organisation of our solar system. It gives students a three-dimensional reference for ideas that are hard to convey with diagrams alone and suits astronomy, Earth science, geography and general science lessons in schools and colleges. Science Lab Supplies manufactures this model at its Ambala factory in Saha, India, and quotes schools, distributors and tender contractors from there.
Specifications
Each specification of the solar system model is listed in the table. In short, it is one classroom model for teaching the Sun and the eight planets in order and how planets orbit the Sun; its scale, material, dimensions, planetary sizes and any movable parts are stated on the quotation for the version you order.

Applications and Experiments for the Solar System Model
The model lets a class identify the Sun and each represented planet, then recite the order outwards from Mercury to Neptune. It supports discussion of planetary position and the idea that planets orbit the Sun, and ends naturally with students naming planets and explaining their place in the system.
- Middle-school science: the solar system, planets and their order from the Sun.
- Geography: Earth as a planet, followed by its interior on the Earth Layer Structure model.
- Earth's yearly orbit and its effects, carried forward with the Four Seasons Appratus.
- Astronomy exhibitions, science activities and teacher-led demonstrations.
Handle movable or detachable parts gently and do not force any mechanism.
Standard Scope of Supply
One Solar System educational model is supplied from the Ambala factory. The quotation confirms which celestial bodies it represents, its scale, material, size and any movable parts, so you can be sure the version offered matches the planets and concepts your syllabus teaches before you commit to an order.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Prices can be quoted for a single solar system model or for a quantity covering several schools. The quotation sets out packing, delivery time and price for that number, and the Sun model, planetary models or other STEM science kits can be listed alongside it.
Science Lab Supplies has an Importer-Exporter Code, which means it can ship to buyers in Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines and Nepal. For a planetary-model quotation, contact the sales desk via the contact page, use the enquiry cart, or refer to the lab tender page for tenders.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many planets does the solar system have?
Our solar system has eight recognised planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The bodies physically represented on the unit you order are confirmed on the quotation.
Is the model motorised or illuminated?
Any motor, lighting or powered movement depends on the version supplied and is confirmed on the quotation. For a sun lit by batteries, the Orbit Orrery uses 2 x AA batteries, and the Working Solar System Model Big covers orbital motion.
Is it made to exact astronomical scale?
No. Distances and planet sizes are not to exact scale, as it is a teaching model rather than a precision replica. Dust it with a soft, dry cloth and keep it dry and protected from knocks.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
The solar system model is a Science Lab Supplies product, manufactured on its own premises in Saha, Ambala, India. Buyers therefore get a quotation, packing list and dispatch schedule from the factory that made it.
