This 2D visual model illustrates the scale of the sun and planets in our solar system, and their current distance from each other.
Calculator for the distances and sizes in a scale model of the solar system. Such models, which illustrate the proportions in our solar system, in reality are implemented as planetary walks, where you start at a meter high Sun and walk a few kilometers to the only centimeter sized planets.
SOLAR SYSTEM CALCULATOR. To construct a solar system model, enter 5 (for example) in the scale factor box, click "Earth diameter" and you will have all the dimensions in terms of the Earth's diameter.
The best way to understand the true dimensions of the solar system is to create a scale model. Use the tool below to visualize the solar system at various scales. Instructions
Click on the "Calculate" button. Notice that the distances and sizes of the planets will automatically fill in. I've also provided some other interesting scale comparisons at the bottom of the chart. You can now build your scale model.
VOS 4 O offers a simple solution to scale our solar system. From a reference (diameter, distance, or scale), VOS 4 O lists the diameters and distances scaled for all planets, the eccentricity of their orbit, and their respective positions around the sun at a given date (heliocentric longitude).
