There is so much that you can add to the display board if you make the Solar System Model as your science fair project. The more details you add the better researched the project looks to the judges. Here is some trivia that you can add to the display board and in your science fair report.

Give details about the planets that you have shown in the model. For instance the closest planets to the Sun, which are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, are called terrestrial planets. This is because they have rocky surfaces. While Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are called gas giants due to their large and gaseous states.

The gas giant planets also have many rings and lots of moons. If you name them all you will have a pretty long report. You can also mention the dwarf planets of Pluto, Ceres and Eris. These were added to the solar system when the International Astronomical Union redefined the term planet in August 2006.

Most models will not include comets but you can mention them on the display board to show that you are aware of their existence. You can add facts about the comets that fly past the Sun of our Solar System. These can include details on Halley, Hale-Bopp and Ikeya-Zhang. Find more details to improve your display here.

Do remember to add pictures as they make the facts come alive. There are some great photographs available on the internet and you should not have any trouble finding appropriate images to use on the display board.
