2/26/2023 0 Comments Yellow sun splitt 8 16 mm![]() Dwarf planets Ceres at < 0.02 mm and Pluto < 0.05 mm. ![]() And these sub-planetary objects are extremely small at this scale, with. Within the orbit of Pluto, all other objects in the Solar System are significantly smaller than Pluto. There are two moons smaller than Earth's moon, but larger than Pluto: Europa at 9.72% and Triton at 22.2% narrower than Earth's moon. There are two moons smaller than Mercury, but larger than Earth's moon: Callisto at 1.52% and Io at 25.4% narrower than Mercury. There are two moons slightly larger than the smallest planet Mercury: Ganymede with a diameter 7.83% wider, and Titan at 5.53% wider. ![]() Moons are not represented in this image, but the following is info for the largest moons in the Solar System. Mercury (at 0.09907 mm) and Mars (at 0.1379 mm) being on the order of one-tenth of this ball-point's diameter. Earth (at 0.2587 mm) and Venus (at 0.2458 mm) being roughly one-quarter of this ball-point's diameter, Uranus (at 1.038 mm) and Neptune (at 1.006 mm) being roughly one-quarter the diameter of a bb.Īll four terrestrial planets are smaller than the ball contained at the tip of a ball-point pen (1 mm medium point shown), with. Saturn (at 2.447 mm) being slightly over half the diameter of a bb (the visible rings of Saturn, at 5.554 mm in diameter, are larger than the bb's width), ![]() Jupiter (at 2.903 mm) being about two-thirds the diameter of a bb, (To view this image without this inset nor with any markings, click here.)Īt this scale, the Sun (at 2.826 cm) is about two-thirds the diameter of a golf ball (4.268 cm).Īll four gas/ice giants are smaller than a bb pellet (4.496 mm), with. The inset shows all 9 objects upclose to just one yard, and this is done to show that typical Solar System depictions are grossly distorted by several orders of magnitude. It shows that if the Sun-Neptune distance of the Solar System were scaled down to the 100-yard length of a football field (yellow lines point to goal line to goal line span, roughly 13 meters shorter than a standard soccer, or Association football field), then the Sun and eight planets would be small enough to hold in the palm of a person's hand. English: This image is unique in that it shows both the sizes and distances of the Solar System to scale. ![]()
