25+ Solar System Map To Scale Pictures. It's the empty space that's a problem. The solar system is the gravitationally bound system of the sun and the objects that orbit it, either directly or indirectly.
A map of our solar system that puts it into proper perspective from i.kinja-img.com In this map the solar system is drawn to a scale of each pixel being equal to the diameter of the moon. A scale model with quite a difference. The diagram above shows all the planets and dwarf planets (and also the moon and the asteroid belt) in order from the sun.
All the planets are the correctly sized in relationship with each other.
Sizes and distances in the solar system are difficult to visualize and scale models are usually distorted in textbooks so that they will fit on the page. I thought it would be nice to see all of them, maybe by bike. This incredible map shows the 18,000 asteroids, comets, planets and moons orbiting the sun. This inspired me to start a project, building a shiny web application with r that would let me map the solar system to the real world around a given location.
