Scale of the Solar System - JONEScience.com

Use this solar system scale model check to check your results and verify the results! (If you go too small your result will be in microns, this is 1 thousandth of a mm)

🪐 Solar System Scale Model

1. Choose a Planet/Object:

2. How do you want to build the model?

Sun Diameter

Unit

Example: If the Sun is a 24cm basketball…

Use this calculator if you are creating an object to scale of a certain size and you want to know how it compares to other objects in the solar system at that scale.

📏 Universal Scale Calculator

Pick an object you have in real life (like a marble or ball), tell us which planet it represents, and see how big the rest of the solar system should be.

1. My model object represents:

2. The diameter is:

3. Unit:

Object Name	Real Diameter	Scale Model Diameter

Use this calculator to understand distance if you were to set the distance of two objects, how does that compare to all other objects in the solar system?

🚀 Universal Distance Calculator

Set the distance for one object (e.g., “Imagine Neptune is 100 meters away”), and see where all other planets would land.

1. I want to set the distance for:

2. The distance from Sun is:

3. Unit:

Object Name	Real Distance (Average)	Scale Distance
