Summary

This is a functional model of the inner planets I put together for my own graduation cap decoration. The model features the sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth and its moon, and Mars. Orbital speeds of each planet are proportional to each-other, and accurate up to 3 decimal places.

NOTE: Scale 2540% if your parts come in microscopic.

Parts List

In addition to the plastic components here, I also used:

  • about 5 inches of 1/8 inch stainless steel rod (to hold the sun)
  • about a foot of 1/16 in stainless steel rod (to hold the planets)
    (1/16 welding rod works great!)
  • a #6 sheet metal screw

  • This motor:

  • and a battery pack:

Planets themselves are included in the files and should be able to be printed, but I ended making mine out of modeling clay to get nice blended colors.
