Yes, you can manually move the planets. There is a written insert with data on the position of the planets in the heavens, and spacial markings on the base.

not at all but it was really fun to use. we covered the planets in modeling clay and tried to get as accurate as possible with the colors. we did pretty good which took away from the distraction of the planets not being to scale.

Not manually, but you can control the intensity of the pressure you put on the steps. It is a good starter.

Yes, it is motorized. You have an alignment process and once aligned the telescope will track whatever you have slewed to - stars, planets, nebulae and galaxies. The hand controller has a built in menu and for example if you select the moon the telescope will automatically slew (move and point) to the moon and then keep the telescope pointed on the moon until you go to another object.

No, I would not use this product for that. To get the best effect, the planets need to be hung from the ceiling and should be "charged" with a light for awhile so that the planets glow. Also, the stars that come with the product are very bad and could not be used. Go elsewhere.

Yes you can. Ud no direct sunlight you hace to put the device in upright position, it is more performance.

You can use the device without the solar panels connected. The panels are just used to charge the device.

No. It turns from transformer into car and back. But no sound action etc to require batteries.

Yes, to conserve the battery you can use the rangefinder without turning on the GPS. Note the battery is rechargeable and last for a few rounds even with the GPS turned on.

Yes you can, theres a button on top of the stardrive section to turn the lights on or off.

Sort of. There is no programming or special set up required but the batteries will likely need to be fully charged first. Takes a few hours as I recall. I have been quite happy with mine.

Yes it will track the planets and even slew to the items you select with the hand held control. Works great!

Only batteries and maybe soil. But only if you want to change plants or spread them out a little.

Yes there are progressive steps that go from easy to very difficult. The levels are selectable or can be programmed for a preselected work out. All of this is done without the need for external power. It only needs AA batteries to power the computer. Hope this helps.

Yes, it only runs on batteries and it is very easy to move around in the house.
