Solar System — Geo4Map (2017 Edition)
980 × 680 mm • Paper / Laminated / Laminated + Hang Rails / Canvas / Canvas + Hang Rails • Made in Australia
Chart our celestial neighbourhood in one wall-readable view. Geo4Map’s beautifully illustrated Solar System map brings planets, dwarf planets, orbits, belts, and key facts together in a clean layout that looks just as good in classrooms and studios as it does in offices and home study spaces.
🔭 What’s on the Map

Planets & Dwarf Planets: Clear labelling across inner and outer systems (Mercury → Neptune, plus Pluto, Ceres, and other dwarf bodies)
-
Orbital Architecture: Elliptical orbits, asteroid belt, Kuiper Belt, and broad outer-system context
-
Moons & Features: Prominent natural satellites (e.g., Ganymede, Titan) and notable planetary features called out for quick reference
-
Comparative View: A tidy, at-a-glance sense of relative sizes with helpful visual cues that keep the design calm and readable
