Product Overview
The MOLTT Solar System Model is a captivating and scientifically inspired educational material designed to bring the wonders of astronomy directly into a child's hands. This meticulously crafted wooden model transforms the abstract vastness of space into a tangible, interactive learning experience. By physically exploring the relative positions and movements of celestial bodies, children can satisfy their natural curiosity about the universe, inspire dreams of exploration, and build a foundational understanding of our place in the cosmos.

Core Educational Value
This model serves as a powerful introductory tool to astronomy and planetary science, designed to:

• Stimulate Scientific Curiosity: Ignites a sense of wonder about the universe, encouraging questions about planets, stars, and space exploration.

• Teach Astronomical Fundamentals: Provides a concrete reference for learning the names, order, and basic characteristics of the Sun and eight planets in our solar system.

• Demonstrate Key Cosmic Principles: Through interactive play, it helps visualize complex concepts such as planetary orbits, rotation (day/night cycle), revolution, and the scale of the solar system in an accessible way.

• Develop Spatial Reasoning & Vocabulary: Enhances understanding of three-dimensional relationships in space and builds a rich, specific scientific vocabulary.

Interactive Design & Features

• Dynamic, Two-Layer Movement: Each planet is designed with dual functionality:

  1. It travels along its fixed orbital path around the central Sun.

  2. It rotates freely on its own axis, allowing children to mimic planetary spin.

• Proportional Representation: The sizes of the Sun and planets are carefully selected to best represent their relative scale within our solar system, offering an accurate introductory perspective.

• Durable & Engaging Construction: Expertly crafted from high-quality birch wood and finished with non-toxic, vibrant paints, the model is both beautiful and built to withstand enthusiastic exploration. All components are sanded smooth for safety.
