It is part construction project, part kinetic sculpture — a working model of orbital motion you can keep on a desk or shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMotion, Not Just a Model\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn exposed gear train drives the planets in smooth, continuous orbits. Inner planets like Mercury sweep around quickly; outer ones like Neptune take the slow lane. Seeing the different orbital speeds side by side is the whole point — it turns an abstract idea into something you can watch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are two ways to run it. Electric mode keeps the planets turning on their own, quiet background motion while you work. Manual mode puts a hand crank in your control, handy when you want to walk someone through how orbits work at your own pace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterials and Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit mixes premium ABS bricks with roll-blasted metal parts in a gold finish — gears, arms, and accents that catch the light. The transmission stays visible on purpose; the mechanism is part of the look. The base carries retro pad-printed celestial artwork in the style of old observatory instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHD stickers give each planet its signature details, from Jupiter's cloud bands to Saturn's rings. Earth comes with its Moon, and small spacecraft and satellite pieces are scattered through the build. The sun is translucent, so the LED inside lights the whole model from the center — subtle by day, striking after dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e premium ABS plastic plus roll-blasted metal accents in gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAssembled size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 305 mm wide × 304 mm tall (about 12 × 12 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive:\u003c\/strong\u003e electric motorized mode and manual hand-crank mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e LED built into the sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge guidance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 and up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtras:\u003c\/strong\u003e HD planet identification stickers included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBox:\u003c\/strong\u003e gift-ready packaging, 340 × 250 × 115 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade for:\u003c\/strong\u003e STEM learners, astronomy fans, adult builders, desk-decor lovers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere It Ends Up\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a classroom, it makes orbital periods click for students. On a work desk, the slow rotation gives your eyes somewhere calm to land. On a bookshelf, it is the piece guests stop to look at. The assembly itself is a satisfying stretch of hours, with organized parts and a logical build order — and what you finish with is an instrument, not just an ornament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShipping Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBatteries are not included with international shipments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Gearfinch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47564115706034,"sku":"3256808726545689","price":239.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/0754\/2706\/files\/puzzloria-solar-system-building-blocks-electric-orrery-1.webp?v=1781006721","url":"https:\/\/gearfinch.com\/en-ca\/products\/solar-system-building-blocks-electric","provider":"GearFinch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
