Maine Solar System Model

Saturday,  06/07/03  08:27 PM

The Maine Solar System Model is coming along nicely.  At scale 1:93,000,000 the distance from the Sun (50ft. diameter) to Pluto (1" diameter) is 40 miles.  Looking at the pictures, it really gives you a sense of how far apart the planets are compared to their size.  Very cool.  At this scale the Earth is the size of a softball, and is 1 mile from the Sun.
