The Solar System to Scale: Dynamic 2D Model
This 2D visual model illustrates the scale of the sun and planets in our solar system, and their current distance from each other.
Scale Model of the Solar System | Discover the Universe
Use the tool below to visualize the solar system at various scales. Choose the size of the Sun you want in your model in STEP 1. The dimensions of the other objects and their distances will be calculated automatically. You can have your solar system displayed on the map and centred where you want, such as your house or school.
If the Moon Were Only 1 Pixel - A tediously accurate map of the solar ...
I guess this is why most maps of the solar system aren't drawn to scale. It's not hard to draw the planets. It's the empty space that's a problem. Most space charts leave out the most significant part – all the space. We're used to dealing with things at a much smaller scale than this.
If the Moon Were Only 1 Pixel [The most accurate map of the Solar System]
Nov 18, 2024 · If the Moon were only 1 pixel in diameter on a map, what would be the scale of the Solar System? Artist and designer Josh Worth has created a great web page that actually answers this question – a tediously accurate map of the Solar System.
Solar System to Scale Sun is scaled one meter (39") in diameter Actual Size of Sun: 1,391,000 km (864,000 mi) AU (“Astronomical Unit”) is the average distance between the Sun and Earth: 150 million km (93 million mi) A little more than 100 Sun diameters will span the distance of one AU Neptune Actual Size: 49,500 km (30,800 mi) diameter

Mar 4, 2017 · That's the point hammered in by this huge to-scale map of the solar system, If The Moon Were Only 1 Pixel, created by the interactive designer Josh Worth. The map is simple: it starts at...
Solar System Scale Model
This web site allows you to design a model of the Solar System on a map and create a link to it. You can drag the Sun to a new position or double-click the map to move the Sun to a new place. You can drag planets to new position. They automatically adjust distance from Sun. Click on "Create Your Model" to start designing your map!
Map a Model Solar System - PBS LearningMedia
Customize a scale model of the solar system on a map with this interactive. Set the center of the solar system at any location in the United States, pick a size for the Sun or Earth to set the scale for the model, and then see the relative locations of planetary orbits on the map.
VOS4O - The Solar system at scale
VOS 4 O offers a simple solution to scale our solar system. From a reference (diameter, distance, or scale), VOS 4 O lists the diameters and distances scaled for all planets, the eccentricity of their orbit, and their respective positions around the sun at a given date (heliocentric longitude).
