Remember to draw the first four planets closer to the middle of the cardboard and the last five planets closer to the outer edge of the cardboard. Punch a hole in the middle of the cardboard to represent the sun. Punch a hole on each of the nine drawn circles. Vary the position of your holes.Constructing PlanetsCut circles from construction paper to represent the sun and the nine planets. Make the sun the largest circle. Cut Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune a bit smaller, and the remaining planets even smaller. Don’t forget Saturn’s rings. Tape a foot-long
