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.

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.
1. On a separate sheet of paper, make a sketch of what a scale model of the solar system might look like. Include: The Sun The planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune Give some thought to the size of each planet and how far they are from the Sun. Student worksheet Make a model of the Solar System
Make a Scale Model of the Distances in our Solar System. About the Activity. Using a strip of paper, construct a quick scale model of the distances between the orbits of the planets, the Asteroid Belt, and Pluto as part of the Kuiper Belt. Topics Covered. Scaled distances of orbits in the Solar System. Types of objects in the Solar System.
Scale Model Solar System. Purpose: Today you will make a scale model solar system. Every step you take in our model is like walking 10 billion steps in the real solar system. Our scale factor for the model solar system is then 1 to 10 billion (like the scale on a map).
1. Learn about sizes and distances in our solar system. 2. Decide what kind of model you want to build. 3. Choose where your model solar system will go. 4. Calculate scale distances. 5. Calculate scale planet sizes. 6. Calculate combined scale distance and planet size. 7. Create and display your model. 8. Make a Solar System on a String (scale ...
Grades: 6-12. Subject: Space Science. Purpose: Students create a scale model of planetary distances in the solar system. It is a good way to demonstrate the vast distances among the outer planets and to apply math skills in proportion.
