This detailed educational wall chart explains the Solar System and the objects that orbit the Sun. It introduces the Sun as the central body and shows how planets, moons, asteroids, comets, meteoroids, and interplanetary dust are held in orbit by gravity. A large central diagram visually maps the Solar System, clearly labelling the Sun, the eight planets, the asteroid belt, and the invisible paths that indicate planetary orbits.

The chart includes an informative section on changes in the Solar System, highlighting dwarf planets such as Pluto and Charon, Eris, and Ceres. A dedicated panel focuses on the Sun, explaining its size and importance as the main source of energy for the Solar System. Below this, individual planet panels present Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, each with images and key facts such as diameter, distance from the Sun, rotation period, and number of moons.

Additional sections explain how the Solar System is divided into inner and outer planets and introduce the Kuiper Belt and the distant Oort Cloud. Diagrams compare orbital paths and relative positions to improve spatial understanding. This wall chart works equally well as a poster for astronomy classrooms, science labs, and space education displays.

Our wallcharts are engineered for durability and educational impact, designed to withstand the rigors of both classroom and home environments.
