The solar system to scale
Shrink the Sun to something you can hold and see how small, and how far away, everything else becomes. You will need a longer street.
| Body | Would be this wide | And this far from the Sun |
|---|---|---|
| Sun | 22.0 cm |
Sizes and distances share one scale, which is why the planets are specks and the gaps are long walks. Wear good shoes. Distances are each planet’s real distance from the Sun at the site clock’s time, so they shift a little as you wind it.
