Planets and Solar System Orbit Mats and Ordering

This resource includes multiple hands-on elements for ordering the planets, comparing their sizes, and charting their orbits around the Sun. All images are real satellite photos of the planets, and the size-comparison planet set is accurately to scale for meaningful visual learning.

What’s included:

• To-scale planets and Sun for size comparison, ordering, and labeling
• 17" x 22" Solar System orbit mat with printing and assembly instructions
• 8.5" x 11" Solar System orbit mat (single page printer-friendly version)
• Orbit mat planets sized to fit the mat you choose to print
• Planet labels

This resource is perfect for interactive science centers, small-group activities, STEM lessons, and space units—helping learners build a clear, accurate understanding of our Solar System through hands-on exploration.

This resource is included in the Space Bundle.
