Solar System

The Solar System is BIG.

Neptune is 4.5 billion miles from the sun and the black dots on the picture below illustrate the distances between planets. The size of the planets are infinitesimal compared to the distances between the planets and the sun.  An accurate picture would be very, very wide and even the sun would only appear as a tiny dot.

The size of the sun and the planets below illustrate the size of planets relative to each other.
