This ThinkQuest entry is "an information-rich interactive, educational tour of the Solar System" to quote from the ThinkQuest library description.
Here, students will find information on all the planets, and their moons as well as the sun.
For each planet, the topics of Exploration, Surface, Interior, Satellites, and Interactive are covered. In many of the Interactive components, students
can play a game, which leads them to explore more information about the planet.
