I'm trying to make a scale model of the solar system, hoping to go out and find some appropriate spheres but I'm curious if anyone has some good ideas about places/ways to get really small orbs of various diameters
With the sun I'll be using I'm looking for spheres with diameters in the range of 0.75mm - 22mm (basically 1/32" - 1") - any ideas?
(You are definitely allowed to make joke answers even though I put 'serious' in the title)
Hardware shops are a good place for specific measurements and round things.
I mean, you don't mention the purpose/requirements of this model. Is clay/blutac/maché out the question?
It's not out of the question, just a last result as I'm looking for something that can be handled by students for years so durability is key
