Scale Model of the Solar System | Discover the Universe
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. 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.
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.
Make a Scale Solar System – Math Project | NASA JPL Education
2024年10月1日 · In this project, you will create your own scale model of the solar system by learning how to calculate scale distances, the relative sizes of planets, or both. Then, use beads and string, sidewalk chalk, or your own creative choice of materials to build a model you can explore – or maybe even wear!
Solar System Scale Model Calculator - Wlonk
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 press Calculate.
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

Make a scale model of the Solar System and learn the REAL definition of "space." This Page requires a JavaScript capable browser. Fill in the diameter of the Sun you want your model to be scaled by. You can fill in either the red bordered inches box or the green bordered millimeters box. Important: Only fill in one box. If both are filled in ...
Purpose: Construct a scale model of the solar system to familiarize the student with the relative sizes and positions of the planets in the solar system and the vast distances between them and between the Sun and other stars.
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
Solar System Scale Model - Phrenopolis
This page shows a scale model of the solar system, shrunken down to the point where the Sun, normally more than eight hundred thousand miles across, is the size you see it here. The planets are shown in corresponding scale.
