In elementary school I remember hearing the planets move in CIRCLES in THE SAME PLANE around the Sun. In an atom, electrons would also move around the nucleus

In elementary school I remember hearing the planets move in CIRCLES in THE SAME PLANE around the Sun.
In an atom, electrons would also move around the nucleus like a mini-solar system.
For seven and eight years old children, it's a fair simplification, I guess.
