This 2D visual model illustrates the scale of the sun and planets in our solar system, and their current distance from each other.
NASA Eyes lets you explore a simulation of the whole Solar System and beyond, all completely to scale, including NASA spacecraft, past and present, as well as discovered exoplanets. Night Sky Network "Worlds of the Solar System" is the source of the Planets to Scale. PDF.
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.
Purpose: Construct a scale model of the solar system to familiarize the student with the relative sizes and positions of the planets in the solar system and the vast distances between them and between the Sun and other stars. A convenient scale has 1 foot representing 1 million miles.

Scale Model of the Solar System. Goals: To get an idea of the scale of the solar system with the sizes of the planets. To be able to correctly change from “real” distances to scale distances. What You Turn In:
Although we could print the planet sizes to scale, the paper would need to be way too large to show the scaled distances. Instead, to help you understand the sizes and distances of our solar system, we’ve created a scale model. Our Solar System, real imagery but not to scale.
