๐Ÿ“ Solar System Scale Model

Shrink the Sun down to something you can actually hold, and everything else in the solar system shrinks right along with it: see how big the planets get, and how far away.

๐ŸŒŒ Your Scale Model

Log scale: sizes span from millimeters to hundreds of millimeters at most everyday scales.

Log scale: distance grows far faster than size does, which is the whole point of this page.

Formula

Scaled value = Real value ร— (Chosen Sun size รท 1,392,700 km)
Every size and every distance in this model is multiplied by the same scale factor, the ratio between the Sun you chose and the Sun's real 1,392,700 km diameter. That's what makes it a scale model: shrink one thing, and everything shrinks together, proportionally.
