This 2D visual model illustrates the scale of the sun and planets in our solar system, and their current distance from each other.
I guess this is why most maps of the solar system aren't drawn to scale. It's not hard to draw the planets. It's the empty space that's a problem.
This is an interactive model of the solar system that is quite, but not entirely, realistic. The vast distances and differences in space and time that are present in the real solar system can make observation boring or intimidating.
Calculate the scaled planet diameters and planet-sun distances for a solar system model. Enter scale or diameter or distance, select to show table and/or map below, select options, then press Calculate.
5 lut 2014 · I was specifically looking for a to-scale model of the solar system when I came here, and this is exactly what I was looking for–and absolutely fascinating. One of my ‘pet peeves’ with the way the solar system is depicted on TV is that they always show the planets and moons far too close together (and/or far too large) and the inaccuracy ...
You can have your solar system displayed on the map and centred where you want, such as your house or school. The orbits of the different objects will be displayed according to the colour code. Enter the latitude and longitude you want to use in STEP 2, or drag the map to where you want.
18 sty 2016 · Artist and designer Josh Worth has created a great web page that actually answers this question – a tediously accurate map of the Solar System. He scaled the Moon to only one pixel (the radius of the Moon is 1,737 km / 1079.322 mi) and put the planets and other astronomical bodies such as the Kuiper Belt objects accordingly.
