orrery Explanation: See my reference comments. Assuming there's no specific term for this in English, you'd need to make it clear that an orrery usually shows the whole solar system. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2011-02-25 18:22:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I don't think there is a specific term: "Figure 3 is an image of [an orrery] made by James Ferguson, although less complicated by only showing Mercury, Venus, Earth and its moon. http://www.liming.org/orrery/ |
