This 2D visual model illustrates the scale of the sun and planets in our solar system, and their current distance from each other.
This page shows a scale model of the solar system, shrunken down to the point where the Sun, normally more than eight hundred thousand miles across, is the size you see it here. The planets are shown in corresponding scale.
For this project, we are creating a model that shows the distances at a scale that can fit into a garden or park. To demonstrate the scale of the Solar System to kids, show them this image captured by NASA's Cassini spacecraft. Top of the image is Saturn and its rings.
30 mar 2013 · The top section of this image shows the Solar System with its eight planets in relation to the Sun, with sizes drawn to scale. In the bottom section, the distance from the Sun to the farthest planet, Neptune, is scaled down to the length of an American football field with 100 yards from goal line to goal line.
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
