1 pixel = 1,000 km. This 2D visual model illustrates the scale of the sun and planets in our solar system, and their current distance from each other.
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:
The Colorado Scale Model Solar System depicts the Sun, the planets, and the distances between them all on the same scale of 1 to 10 billion. That is, the real objects and distances are 10 billion times larger than the objects and distances in the model. On this scale, Sun is about the size of a large grapefruit, while Earth is the size of the ...
Calculator for the distances and sizes in a scale model of the solar system.
Understanding the size differences of objects in the solar system as well as their correct distances from each other is important. There are many good projects that will show you how to make your own scale model.
Have you ever wondered about the sizes of planets in the solar system or the distances between them? In this project, you will create your own scale model of the solar system by learning how to calculate scale distances, the relative sizes of planets, or both.
