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. Danny Lewis. September 21, 2015. Get our newsletter!

Neptune, the solar system's most far flung planet, orbits the sun from about 4.498 billion kilometers away. At this scale, the model is more than 11 kilometers wide.

The result is a 7-minute-long time-lapse video, "To Scale: The Solar System," that is beautiful to watch and gives a great sense of just how huge our solar system really is.

How to Build Your Own Solar Power System Spend the time up front and plan it carefully to avoid disappointment. BY BRADLEY FORD Published: Jun 11, 2025 11:49 AM EDT ...

Real world solar system models can be found in lots of places, the one that inspired us was the Maine solar system model.We originally tried to make something similar to this, but it was ...

BLACK ROCK DESERT, Nev., Sept. 17 (UPI) --A pair of filmmakers visited a dry lake bed in Nevada to build what they describe as the first-ever scale model of the solar system.Wylie Overstreet and ...

Still from "To Scale: The Solar System," a 7-minute video that shows the construction of a scale-model solar system in Nevada's Black Rock Desert. If Earth were as small as a marble, the solar ...

The model features the sun in the middle, surrounded by the eight planets in our Solar System (sorry, Pluto, we still love you). What is interesting about this build is that it is working and it ...

In order to make a diagram of our solar system easy to read, one with to-scale orbits has inflated planet size. Only with a model like the one Overstreet and Alex Gorosh created can you see just ...

As a 1 to 10-billion scale model of the solar system, all dimensions depicted – including the diameters of the Sun, planets and moons, and the distances between worlds – are one 10-billionth ...
