How To Make A Scale Solar System from Fruit! | Science Activity for Kids | Let's Go Live Maddie Greg

Maddy and Greg demonstrate how to create a scale model of the solar system using fruit. They introduce the planets and use mnemonic devices to remember their order. The inner planets are represented by smaller fruits like raspberries and nuts, while the gas giants are represented by larger fruits like watermelons and melons. They discuss the characteristics of each planet, including size, composition, and suitability for human exploration. The video concludes with a demonstration of the sun's scale compared to the planets.
