Real-Scale Solar System (RSSS)

Real Planets' Size, Real Distance, Real-Scale

This application (“RSSS – Real-Scale Solar System”) started from the inefficient teachings and misconceptions about the solar system. This application is expected to demonstrate the real-scale of the solar system. It would be impractical to have the solar system in real life demonstration due to its size, its planets’ and objects’ size. The solar system consists of mostly huge blank space with small planets, objects and a sun. The planets are really small compare to the distances between each of them which is really large, resulting in difficulties to actually have the real-scale solar system on a book page – the planets would be so small that you may not see.

This has led to the creation of this application, zoom in and out, reading the information of each, which is convenient for students in this era. The developers think that it could help the students to avoid some misconceptions of space and the solar system and help improving the understandings of the solar system, any time on the phones or tablets.
