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

A beautiful, educational and fun interactive model of the solar system

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. Examples: Scale 1 : 100000000 or Sun Diameter …

The Colorado Scale Model Solar System depicts the Sun, the planets, and the distances between them all on the same scale of 1 to 10 billion. That is, the real objects and distances are 10 billion times larger than the objects and distances in the model.

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!

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.

Make a scale model of the Solar System and learn the REAL definition of "space."

2024年1月16日 · JPL's Scale Model activities are a collection six hands-on activities that can fit varying student levels and lesson types. 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.

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.

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.
