Very poorly, without any apparent value, with neither rhyme nor reason.
Is this presentation of a solar system model good for anything practical? How is it superior to previous presentations? What advantages come to those who use it? What are its strengths? The strengths come from a tradeoff for what weaknesses?
Why should this be taught in schools? Why should NASA include it in educational materials about the solar system? Why are you teaching it to us? What are the top three facts you think we should know about it? How is it best taught? To what age groups? Why?
