The Sun and Planets

Observe the dynamic Sun and the rotation of the eight major planets in our solar system in this visualization from NASA. Use this resource to stimulate thinking about how the motions of the planets are related to day/night and seasons or to develop and use models of planetary axial tilts, rotation, and orbits.
