Frequently Asked Questions

How many planets are included in the set? The set includes all planets of our solar system. Please refer to the product packaging for the complete list of included planets and their individual sizes.

How do I inflate the planets? Smaller planets can be inflated by mouth; for the larger planets (up to 28"), a balloon pump or electric air pump is recommended for efficient inflation.

Is this set suitable for outdoor use? Yes — the inflatable planets can be used outdoors for science fairs, outdoor education events, and space-themed activities. As with all inflatable products, keep sharp objects away and avoid use in high-wind conditions with the larger planets.
