Product Description
Hang the Sun and nine planets from the ceiling, turn off the lights, and watch your students experience the mysteries of space. It's the perfect springboard for science lessons, discovery activities, and class projects. This easy-to-assemble set includes the Sun and nine planets (with attached hangers), 32 feet of clear plastic line, plus an instruction guide featuring fun, engaging facts about the solar system.
I am very disappointed with the overall quality of this product.
First, the Sun (about the size of an orange) does NOT glow in the dark AT ALL, and the planets glow very faintly.
Second, all of the planets are quite small: Jupiter and Saturn are about the size of tangerines and the rest of the planets are about the size of marbles.
Third, this set is obviously meant to hang from a LOW and FLAT ceiling, as instructions tell you to use push-pins and to tack the individual planets to the ceiling. It had better be a rather low ceiling or you will not see the small and faint planets.
Fourth, the product says it includes "hangers", which means a metal loop at the top of each planet. I mistakenly thought there would be some kind of mobile-like device that the planets would string to.
Fifth, the enclosed nylon string is much too thick for these very light-weight planets; the nylon string retains its curves from being wound around a piece of cardboard, and the planets do not really weigh down or straighten the string.
We have high vaulted ceilings so obviously this product does not work in our house as intended. I just lined up the planets above my son's closet door. I did not notice that the Sun was not painted with the glow tint until after all of my hard work of stringing up the planets, or else I definitely would have returned the product. All this said, our son seems to like and enjoy it anyway...
This was a Christmas present for my Son. My son is 5 years old. He was so interested!! "What is that one's name??" he would say. I read him all the material that came with it. He loved it. The next day he said, "Saturn has rings,right???" It was just as fun for me. I might have just learned something myself.
I bought this after reading several reviews on this product. When I received this I was quite pleased with the packaging and the contents themselves. All the plantes are there. They already have eyebolts on the top of them for easy of stringing. My son (5) loves them. He pointed where they are to go and was excited to get them.
A must for anyone who loves the outspace and solar system
This solar system seems to be one of the few reasonably priced ones out there that actually includes a sun. Which is why I got it. The stringing is a bit difficult, and I'm having trouble finding a good way to get it to stay in our plaster ceilings. Outside of that, the set is very attractive & I like the coloring of the planets. I put it up near the ceiling light and they glow quite well.
