3-D Solar System Review
I am doing a unit on the solar system with my child care kids right now. I hung these from the ceiling fan in the classroom. The kids think it's super cool to watch the planets "orbit" the sun (light) when I turn the fan on the low setting. It comes with Pluto, but I just didn't hang that one up since it's not considered one of the planets anymore.
I don't think these would be very durable if they were played with by little ones, but they're great for hanging up to look at and learn about the planets.
Some people have complained about the lack of a sun in the set. I'm pretty sure, since these are specifically made to be hung from the ceiling, you are supposed to use the light to represent the sun.

Solar System- Glow in the dark - pooh1963 -
These are wonderful! Different size planets, and they glow in the dark. My son loves these on his ceiling! Comes with everything you need right in the box! No looking for string or tacks...it's all there! Makes his room look great!!
Very cool - Angie - Florida
These planets light up in the dark and came with a pen light that you can make them glow if you have insufficient light. My husband and I had to sort through them to figure out what planets were which ones so it might have been nice to have had them labeled underneath their packaging. Also, the fishing line is somewhat difficult to loop for hanging. Other than that, we love the planets that hang from a star from the ceiling.
Spherical-shaped, plastic "Easter eggs"...but they do the job - Scolemann - Little Rock, AR United States
Overall, the planets are very bright and the scale of each seems to be accurate. Jupiter is about the size of a large grapefruit, Uranus and Neptune the size of oranges, Earth a bit smaller than a tennis ball, and Pluto (no longer considered a planet by most, but hey) is a little smaller than a ping pong ball.
The quality of the product, however, is that of plastic Easter eggs and the 3 largest planets assemble as such...snap both pieces together and voila, instant planet. The product's light weight makes for easy hanging, so I am taking the good with the bad. I am satisfied and think the planets will hang nicely from the ceiling with some distance between them and my eyes. (FYI-I purchased an 8 inch golden paper lantern to act as the sun since the kit only contains the planets.) Overall, a decent product for a great price.
