Arty (voiced by Christian Distefano (season 1); Meesha Contreras (season 2–3) is a leader-like boy alien who explores the Creative Galaxy in his Creative Spark rocket ship. There, he collects ideas and makes a final project out of art to help out. Arty's Mom (voiced by Samantha Bee (seasons 1-2); Helen King (season 3) is Arty's fun-loving ...
Orrery. A small orrery showing Earth and the inner planets. An orrery is a mechanical model of the Solar System that illustrates or predicts the relative positions and motions of the planets and moons, usually according to the heliocentric model. It may also represent the relative sizes of these bodies; however, since accurate scaling is often ...
The scale of the planets is the same as the scale between them, and the planets are represented by everyday objects; the Earth is a peppercorn, Jupiter is a walnut, and Neptune is a coffee bean.

The Sun, planets, moons and dwarf planets (true color, size to scale, distances not to scale) The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to the Solar System: Solar System – gravitationally bound system comprising the Sun and the objects that orbit it, either directly or indirectly. Of those objects that orbit the ...
The Rutherford model was devised by Ernest Rutherford to describe an atom. Rutherford directed the Geiger–Marsden experiment in 1909, which suggested, upon Rutherford's 1911 analysis, that J. J. Thomson 's plum pudding model of the atom was incorrect. Rutherford's new model [ 1] for the atom, based on the experimental results, contained new ...
There is evidence that the formation of the Solar System began about 4.6 billion years ago with the gravitational collapse of a small part of a giant molecular cloud. [ 1 ] Most of the collapsing mass collected in the center, forming the Sun, while the rest flattened into a protoplanetary disk out of which the planets, moons, asteroids, and ...
The Sweden Solar System is the world's largest permanent scale model of the Solar System. The Sun is represented by the Avicii Arena in Stockholm, the second-largest hemispherical building in the world. The inner planets can also be found in Stockholm but the outer planets are situated northward in other cities along the Baltic Sea.
The center of the scale model, the Sun, is located at the top of the Patterinmäki in Pajamäki, at the top of a 20-meter pole. It is made of steel pipes, and its diameter is 1.4 meters. The planets are placed on concrete posts so that their distances to the sun are in scale. The sizes of the planets are also in scale: e.g. the size of Mercury ...
