Here is a physical 3D visualization (a LEGO set) showing the sun and moon orbits. My children and I put this together last year before the eclipse as a way for them to better understand why the eclipse was happening

https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/planet-earth-and-moon-in-...

In the set, the earth spins on its axis, the moon orbits the earth, and the earth orbits the sun. There are stickers that mark the months of the year so you can see when solstices and equinoxes happen.



I love this, thanks for sharing.
