In this activity, learners explore the relative size of the Sun and Earth as well as the distance between them.

In this activity, learners make their own pinhole viewer in order to measure the size of the sun.

In this activity, learners explore the relative sizes and distances of objects in the solar system.

Things that are different sizes and stiffness vibrate differently, and in this Exploratorium Science Snack, you'll see how rings of various diameters react to vibration and external forces.

Learners will explore the concept of angular distance, and investigate why the moon appears to be the same size as the sun during a solar eclipse, despite the sun being much larger.

In this activity, learners use binoculars (or a telescope) to identify and track sunspots. If using binoculars, learners need a pair that can be secured on a tripod.
