The Solar System to Scale: Dynamic 2D Model
This 2D visual model illustrates the scale of the sun and planets in our solar system, and their current distance from each other.
If the Moon Were Only 1 Pixel - A tediously accurate map of the solar ...
I guess this is why most maps of the solar system aren't drawn to scale. It's not hard to draw the planets. It's the empty space that's a problem.
Scale Model of the Solar System | Discover the Universe
Use the tool below to visualize the solar system at various scales. Choose the size of the Sun you want in your model in STEP 1. The dimensions of the other objects and their distances will be calculated automatically. You can have your solar system displayed on the map and centred where you want, such as your house or school.
A Tediously Accurate Map of the Solar System
2014年2月5日 · So I thought I would see if a computer screen could help make a map of a solar system that’s a bit more accurate (while teaching myself a few things about javascript, SVGs and viewports along the way).
Solar System: A Semirealistic Model
This is an interactive model of the solar system that is quite, but not entirely, realistic. The vast distances and differences in space and time that are present in the real solar system can make observation boring or intimidating.
Solar System Map - The Planets Today
A collection of interesting and thought provoking solar system maps. These maps show planets and dwarf planets in order, try to scale the solar system and also show a live view of asteroids and their locations.
Solar System Scale Model Calculator - Wlonk
Calculate the scaled planet diameters and planet-sun distances for a solar system model. Enter scale or diameter or distance, select to show table and/or map below, select options, then press Calculate.
If the Moon Were Only 1 Pixel [The most accurate map of the Solar System]
2016年1月18日 · Artist and designer Josh Worth has created a great web page that actually answers this question – a tediously accurate map of the Solar System. He scaled the Moon to only one pixel (the radius of the Moon is 1,737 km / 1079.322 mi) and put the planets and other astronomical bodies such as the Kuiper Belt objects accordingly.
Map a Model Solar System - PBS LearningMedia
Customize a scale model of the solar system on a map with this interactive. Set the center of the solar system at any location in the United States, pick a size for the Sun or Earth to set the scale for the model, and then see the relative locations of planetary orbits on the map.
If the Moon Were Only 1 Pixel – Josh Worth Art & Design
2020年8月7日 · A tediously accurate scale map of the solar system that illustrates the mind-boggling amount of space between planets. This started as a personal curiosity project and ended up getting posted on hundreds of websites, featured in museum exhibits, used as a teaching tool by science educators, and translated into 16 languages.
