The Planet Earth and Moon in Orbit 42179 set stands at 9" high, spans 12.5" long, and extends 7" wide. Comprising 526 pieces, it's designed for ages 10 and up. This set offers a straightforward build that can be completed in just a few hours, but the fun doesn't end there.

What sets this LEGO Technic kit apart is its interactive design. After assembly, you can turn the handle to witness four distinct movements: (1) the Earth rotates on its axis, (2) the sun rotates on its axis, (3) the moon orbits the Earth, and (4) the Earth orbits the sun. This not only makes for a captivating display but also serves as an excellent educational tool. Kids can learn about the mechanics of a crankshaft and understand how the positions of the moon and sun relative to Earth affect months, seasons, and moon phases. At this price point, it's a remarkable value compared to other LEGO sets that offer less interaction once built.
