So Overstreet and his partner, Alex Gorosh, decided to build a model that would accurately represent what the solar system actually looks like.

To do this the two went out to a dry lake in Nevada and created a scale model of the solar system with a single astronomical unit equaling 176 meters. An astronomical unit (AU) is the distance ...

Dallas Campbell shows an orrery – a mechanical model of the solar system. Suitable for Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4/GCSE, Third Level, National 4, National 5 and Higher ...

When you think about it, just about every single photo that you find on the Internet that depicts our solar system fails to do so accurately and to scale. That’s why a group of friends have worked ...

Scientists in India utilized solar geometry to create a novel energy estimation model that reportedly accurately predicts both the front and back irradiance of bifacial PV modules. The model ...

If you create this model, the Earth and Sun should be about 23 metres apart. If you wanted to walk to the edge of the solar system (where the planet Neptune would be) you would have to walk thirty ...

We spent the time to research and plan our own installation, and it'll help you make the right decisions when you build out your own system.

In To Scale: The Solar System, the filmmakers seek to make a model of the solar system that gets the orbits and the size of the planets perfectly to scale.

In this solar system, Jupiter is about the size of a miniature watermelon. The sun is a small weather balloon. And the orbits, traced onto a dry lakebed, are huge.

There's a lot of space in space. That's the point hammered in by this huge to-scale map of the solar system, If The Moon Were Only 1 Pixel, created by the interactive designer Josh Worth.
