.*This is the information a friend wrote and is okay with me posting here, but I 100% LOVE this app and recommend it to you throughly*

Space is an interactive exploration of the Sun and eight planets—Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune—designed for curious kids aged roughly 6–8+.

What You Can Do:

• Hurl meteorites at planets to study atmospheres and gravity
• Spin Saturn’s rings, observe planet orbits, and launch the Curiosity rover on Mars
• Peek inside planetary layers, test surface conditions, and see why Mercury is cratered

What You Can Learn:

• Compare size, mass, rotation, and day length across planets
• Track the Moon’s phases and adjust Earth’s axis to explore seasons
• Discover unexpected phenomena—like diamonds on Neptune!

Why It’s Great:

• No ads, no third‑party tracking—designed for safe family use
• Trusted by educators and kids: Editor’s Choice and awarded “Best App for Older Children” by KAPi
• Comes with a free Space Handbook for parents and teachers, offering tips, facts, and discussion starters (look at the bottom of the website link!!!!)
  
  

Bottom line:
Space is a beautifully illustrated, playful, and scientifically rich app that invites kids to explore the solar system through open-ended, discovery-based interaction, making learning both fun and memorable.
