Solar System Weight Scale Exhibit
The Solar System Scale Exhibit brings the mysteries of planetary gravity to life, offering visitors a tangible and comparative experience of the forces shaping our solar system. The exhibit is an ingenious fusion of technology and education. It invites visitors to step onto an electronic scale and explore the different gravitational pulls of our solar system’s planets. Step onto an electronic scale that transports you to the various planets of our solar system. This allows you to get a sense of the different gravitational forces firsthand.
Visitor Experience
As visitors step onto the electronic scale of the Solar System Scale Exhibit, they are transported to the surface of different planets through the screens. Observing their weight and the astronaut’s jump height, they get a visceral understanding of how gravity differs across our solar system.
The exhibit goes beyond traditional displays, providing an immersive and interactive way to comprehend the fundamental forces at play in our universe. It offers a unique opportunity to consider the conditions of other planets and how they relate to our own Earthly experience.
