How do you make a numerical model that shows the motion of the Earth-Sun-moon system? Here, I use vpython to create the calculation.

That marble moon is so small I had to put an arrow over it for you. So here's what it comes down to: If you want to show the Earth-sun-moon system, you'd seem to have two options.

The relative rotation of the Earth, moon, and sun is about 97 percent accurate in this working Lego orrery.

In the next part of your investigation, you will create a Sun-Earth-moon system outside and discover your own solar eclipse model. Measure the distances between the bodies and check the accuracy of ...

I bought the Lego Technic planet earth and moon in orbit set with my own money and think it is the perfect gift for anyone interested in having a working model of earth and the moon in Lego form.

Learn the differences between our Earth, the Sun and the Moon. Then explore how together they create day and night and our different seasons with their orbits.

Virtual 3D models are often made of several layers, including color, depth, and texture. In this case, the displacement map gives the resulting 3D model the peaks and valleys we see on the Moon ...

After a journey of over four years, NASA’s twin STEREO probes have moved into position on opposite sides of the Sun to provide the first 3D images of the entire Sun.
