Product Description
Offers a delightful way for children of all ages to master new subjects and for adults to brush up on old onesSolar System Placemat Review
This placemat contains all nine planets in our solar system (including Pluto, but who's counting?!). It does actually label Pluto as a dwarf planet, so it is correct in that respect. It also labels the sun and the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.The placemat I received is actually slightly different than the one pictured. The words "Solar System" are across the top right of the picture and the fun facts are across the bottom. I guess this layout makes reading those fun facts a little easier. The fun facts include the diameter, distance from the sun, temperature, number of moons, rotation, and revolution for all nine planets and the sun. The galaxy in the background is also not pictured in this placemat as it is on the one pictured. (See pictures added to description)
It also has a light gray line showing the planet's orbits around the sun. Pluto's line crosses Neptune's in the depiction as Pluto's orbit does every so often. The orbit line of the closest planets go behind the sun, so it appears the orbital plane that we're looking at is offset.
It comes laminated and so far (after 1 month) have not had any problems with the lamination coming apart.
Overall, very fun and educational for the kids while at the dinner table.
