Mapping the Solar System

In the last activity, you learned about what coordinates to use to describe the positions of things in the sky. Now you are ready to use those coordinates to make a map of the Solar System, as we see it from Earth. But it's harder to make maps of the Solar System than it is to make maps of stars, as you'll see on the next page.
