Planets

Spending time focusing on one task can help you to relax. Colouring is a great way to spend some time on a calm and creative activity.

Use your imagination to add colour to these colouring sheets. Choose from Space Exploration, Planets, or Telescopes. Or why not complete all 3?!

Next time it's dark, why don't you look up!

Even if we can't go into space we can still learn a lot about it from right here on the ground.

Use our simulator to investigate the effect of gravity on other worlds. Then use your measurements and a bit of maths to calculate the strength of gravity in each location across the Solar System!

An exoplanet is a planet which orbits a star that is not our Sun. The first exoplanet was discovered in 1992. It was found in orbit around the pulsar PSR 1257+12.

Our Solar System contains the Sun, 8 planets, and many small objects like dwarf planets, moons, and

Many years ago, a mathematician named Johannes Kepler created a set of rules explaining planets' movement in our Solar System.

Did you know that what you weigh depends on the strength of gravity? And did you know that the strength on gravity on other planets is not the same as on Earth?
