About This Activity
How old are you in Jupiter years? We know it takes the Earth roughly 365 days to orbit the sun, but it would take Jupiter about 11.86 Earth years. Happy 1st Jupiter birthday to some of you! In this team exploration, learn how gravity and the sun create planetary orbits, and see if you can replicate them using Sphero robots. Also, learn how a gravitational slingshot helps us control the direction and speed of a spacecraft midflight!
