This 2D visual model illustrates the scale of the sun and planets in our solar system, and their current distance from each other.
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!
Make a scale model of the Solar System and learn the REAL definition of "space."
NASA Eyes lets you explore a simulation of the whole Solar System and beyond, all completely to scale, including NASA spacecraft, past and present, as well as discovered exoplanets. Night Sky Network "Worlds of the Solar System" is the source of the Planets to Scale. PDF.
The vast distances and differences in space and time that are present in the real solar system can make observation boring or intimidating. This model contains real data and real orbital math; but distances and differences in space and time are algorithmically reduced to make the exploration experience more interesting and fun.
On a dry lakebed in Nevada, a group of friends build the first scale model of the solar system with complete planetary orbits: a true illustration of our pla...
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. Instructions
How to Build a Seven-Mile-Wide Scale Model of the Solar System. It takes three-and-a-half miles to get from the Sun to Pluto
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
A look at the various units required for measuring distance in space reveals just what astronomers are up against! Using scale models helps us to visualise this. 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.
