How To Build An Accuarte Scale Model Of The Solar System

Explanation: Want to build a scale model Solar System? A blue marble 1.4 centimeters (about half an inch) across would be a good choice for a scale model Earth. Since the Sun is 109 times the diameter of Earth, a 1.5 meter diameter balloon could represent the Sun. But the distance between the Earth and Sun, 150 million kilometers, would translate to just under 180 meters (590 feet) at the same scale. That would mean the completed project, including the orbits of the outer planets, is probably not going to fit in your backyard. Still, you might find enough room on a dry lakebed. Check out this video for an inspirational road trip through the Solar System to scale.

Yup.

I remember watching "The Universe" (goddamn good show, [MENTION=21558]Emiliano[/MENTION], it had Michio Kaku on it) and they recreated the distance bewteen planets on scale on a highway

Distance bewteen planets gets bigger at the same time their own distance to the sun is bigger

I've watched a lot of that show, it is fascinating. And I do have a crush on Michio Kaku no doubt.

I think my favorite one was abiout stars and their life cicles. Gawd. I never understood stars functioning as good as I did when I sawe that episode.
