1. Research and gather accurate information about the size and distance of each planet and other celestial bodies in the solar system. This information can be found in books or on reliable websites.
2. Decide on a scale for the model. Determine how much you will reduce the size of the solar system to fit into your designated space (e.g., one inch equals one million miles).
3. Use materials like Styrofoam balls, clay, or other craft supplies to represent each planet and the sun. Ensure that the sizes of these objects are scaled down according to the chosen scale.
4. Position each planet and the sun accurately, according to their respective distances from the sun. Use wire or strings to connect each celestial body in order to show their orbital paths. Label each model with the name of the planet it represents.
