As is, this is interesting but not much more than a book or wikipedia
(or a children exctract).

Instead of teaching the exact arrangement of the planets, won't it be
more interesting to let the children play with the planet to sun
distance and understand the impact. For example, we could let the
children play around and place planets close and far to the sun and see
them change as too hot or icy.

This is very interesting, it is close to what we have for the water
cycle but on another topic. I like it if we can find a nice game play
for it. For instance if we can let the children experiment and find out
that missing grass induces death for the lion we have it right.
