Proportional orbital distances. Body markers are enlarged.
Start with Earth, then venture a little farther. Select a world to meet your neighbors.
A matter of perspective
Worlds, side by side.
Compare their sizes, their rhythms, and what makes each one different.

A true sense of size
These circles share the same diameter scale. The larger world is fitted to the display.
Rotation is one full spin relative to distant stars. A solar day (noon to noon) can be different. Mean diameters and rounded reference values; giant-planet gravity refers to the cloud-top reference level.
Let curiosity lead
A few big ideas.
Small experiments to help the solar system make sense.
