Solar System (Lite) vs Solar System

The perfect way for kids to experience the Solar System in a hands-on way! This interactive science book contains a select 18 pages from the full version of the app. ----- INTERACTIVE CONTENT ----- Even as an adult, it can be difficult to visualize just how massive the Sun is or how fast the different planets orbit the Sun. This app uses interactive simulations to allow children to explore these hard to visualize topics in a hands-on way. •••• Size Comparison •••• This page allows children to compare the sizes of many Solar System objects. Comparable objects include the Sun, the planets, major moons, and all the dwarf planets. •••• Planetary Revolutions •••• The planets are shown orbiting the Sun at their comparative speeds. Selecting Neptune reveals it takes 164.8 Earth years to orbit the Sun once while the inner planets seem to orbit the Sun at a dizzying speed. Select Mercury, with a year of 88 Earth days, and the outer planets barely seem to move at all. ----- TOPICS COVERED ----- • The Milky Way galaxy • The Sun • A list of the planets • A list of the dwarf planets • Planetary size comparisons • Planet orbital speeds • The history of space exploration ----- KID FRIENDLY ----- • Easy to use page navigation and search • NO ads • NO in-app purchases ----- FULL VERSION ----- For a more in depth look at the Solar System, consider buying the full version. The full version contains 58 pages of content! •••• Parents •••• The full version of the app is sure to captivate any child with its myriad of interesting facts, striking visuals, and engaging 3D simulations. Not only is the content fascinating to explore, it's educational too! Designed with grade school curriculum in mind, the app covers the major topics of the Solar System while explaining concepts in an easy to understand manner. •••• Teachers •••• Many schools with iPads in the classroom have already used the full version of the app with great success. The interactive content is well suited for teaching complex topics such as planetary seasons and the vast distances of the Solar System. Children can explore this information independently or with the aid of a teacher. ----- MORE INFORMATION ----- Visit http://vosonos.net/product/solar-system-lite

Place the Sun on your table or on the floor and walk among the planets in augmented reality. Get close to Saturn's rings, look at Jupiter's moons from below, or find out how far away Pluto really is when the Sun is one metre wide. THREE WAYS TO SEE IT • Learn: everything fits in one room, so you can see every planet at once. • To scale: the planets' sizes are true to each other. Earth is 4 cm, Jupiter 45 cm, and Neptune is 30 metres from the Sun. • Real scale: everything to the same scale. Earth is a 9 mm marble 107 m away; Pluto is more than 4 km from you. Follow the labels to find them. WHERE THE PLANETS ARE TODAY Every planet starts at its real position in its orbit. Speed up time to watch the years pass, or tap Today to come back. REAL PHYSICS • Orbits with their true tilt: Pluto 17°, Eris 44° • Axes that always point the same way, which is what makes the seasons • Moons that always show the same face to their planet • Triton orbiting backwards, and Io, Europa and Ganymede in their 1:2:4 dance • Haumea, the dwarf planet shaped like a rugby ball 21 WORLDS The Sun, the eight planets, five dwarf planets and seven moons. Each one has a fact sheet with NASA figures — diameter, distance, length of the day and the year, temperature, gravity, moons, who discovered it — a size comparison with Earth and a surprising fact. Great for school, for curious minds of every age, and for anyone who has wondered how big space really is. Augmented reality needs an iPhone or iPad with ARKit. On other devices the app opens in 3D mode.
