Things to notice as you play:
-What happens when you go to big places, such as the Sun or Jupiter?
-What happens when you go to small places, like the Moon or Mercury?
-Why is the target floating on some of the planets and on the Sun?
Challenge: Find MORE THAN ONE WAY to hit the target!

A fun tool to explore – Google Mars.
This video starts with Pluto, a dwarf planet, and then moves up in size order. Can you see why everything in the solar system orbits the Sun and not Earth or another planet?
