This 2D visual model illustrates the scale of the sun and planets in our solar system, and their current distance from the sun.

The distance between planets really depends on where the two planets are in their orbits around the sun. So if you're planning on taking a trip to Jupiter, you might want to use a different map.

Calculate the scaled planet diameters and planet-sun distances for a solar system model. Enter scale or diameter or distance, select to show table and/or map below, select options, then …

Oct 1, 2024 · 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 …

To construct a solar system model, enter 5 (for example) in the scale factor box, click "Earth diameter" and you will have all the dimensions in terms of the Earth's diameter.

Feb 27, 2025 · In this project we'll show you how to make a model of the Solar System that shows the distances between the planets to scale. It makes for a fun science and astronomy project …

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.

A true-to-scale 3D model of our solar system with accurate planetary sizes, distances, and scientific data

Explore the scaled distances of planets and objects in our solar system. See how far Earth, Mars, and others are from the Sun with our interactive Solar System Distance Scale tool.

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 …
