A quick video showing our Solar System to scale.

It includes the 8 planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) and 3 out of the 5 dwarf planets (Ceres, Pluto, and Eris; missing Haumea and Makemake because this video was made before Pluto was demoted as a planet)
Sorry there's no sound. Other then that, enjoy!

  • What is that last planet?

  • @lookaguru It's supposed to be Eris (a dwarf planet)

  • Sorry, but this is not even close to being in scale. The planets are way too close. Why even leave it up if it fails to do the sole thing it purports to? It's misleading. It would be great if you could fix the distances and then re-post.

  • @scottp118 actually, I got this video off an official science website. I remember they mentioned the video as precise. Don't bother asking me what website it was though - it's long gone from my memory. (i got this video a few years before i uploaded it)

  • I had to do a project for school on ceres and googled it and it took me to Nasa's website and I saw the mission stats and stuff like that

  • cool ;P

    and yeah, it will be cool when, if things go well, the spaceship makes it in 2015

see all

  • im sorry but this is not even close to scale

  • @Psyvrcharticgrsheltu Pretty easy to prove otherwise. When that third planet (Earth) flashes past the Sun still takes up half the screen. If the planet size scale and the distance scale were the same then the sun would appear to be about as big as Earth's moon in the same image, since that's how they appear in our sky.

    Oh, BTW, there's only one Solar system in the universe since there's only one star named Sol, so there's no need to specify which Solar system you're referring to. :)

  • idk its cool

  • Our Human's solar system, you say? That's a bit selfish, don't you think? What about cats? J/K :)

    PS: I don't think it's to scale either.

  • Just wait till we'll have official models of exo solar systems!

  • this is not on scale at all

  • nice video!

  • @JVerusSAnimusA  SPACE PROBE
