The solar system is immensly vast and our model only shows the proportional sizes of the planets.
The scale of system is: 1 inch = 3166 miles (5095 km)
At this scale the sun would be 273 inches in diameter or 22.75 feet!
To create a true scale model of the solar system with both the size of the planets and the distance between them, the planets would need to be spaced apart as follows (as measured from whatever one used as a sun):
| Distance | Actual Orbit | Actual Orbit | |
| from Sun | radius (miles) | radius (km) | |
| Mercury | 947 ft | 36,008,461 | 57,950,000 |
| Venus | 1,768 ft | 67,176,440 | 108,110,000 |
| Earth | 2,446 ft | 92,938,489 | 149,570,000 |
| Moon | 6 ft (from Earth) | 238,857 | 384,403 |
| Mars | 3,726 ft | 141,573,212 | 227,840,000 |
| Jupiter | 2.4 miles | 483,513,780 | 778,140,000 |
| Saturn | 4.4 miles | 886,696,691 | 1,427,000,000 |
| Uranus | 8.9 miles | 1,783,521,733 | 2,870,300,000 |
| Neptune | 13.9 miles | 2,796,108,228 | 4,499,900,000 |
