... The velocity of the Earth is v = 2πrE /P = 29.8 km/s using P = 1 yr. This gives a solar mass of MS = 2.0 × 1030 kg, which is 3 × 105 × mE . Dividing MS by the solar volume gives an averege density ρS = 1.4 × 103 kg/m3 which is quite a bit less than the Earth’s density ρE = 5.5 × 103 kg/m3 . Could th ...

Orrery
An orrery is a mechanical model of the solar system that illustrates or predicts the relative positions and motions of the planets and moons, usually according to the heliocentric model. It may also represent the relative sizes of these bodies; but since accurate scaling is often not practical due to the actual large ratio differences, a subdued approximation may be used instead. Though the Greeks had working planetaria, the first orrery that was a planetarium of the modern era was produced in 1704, and one was presented to Charles Boyle, 4th Earl of Orrery — whence came the name. They are typically driven by a clockwork mechanism with a globe representing the Sun at the centre, and with a planet at the end of each of the arms.
