solar system diagram to scale
why is it difficult to draw a scale diagram of our solar system?
Because the planets are so small compared to the distance between them. If the Sun is a 10 inch circle, then Earth is a 1/10 inch circle 89 feet away, Jupiter is a 1 inch circle 465 feet away and Pluto is a speck so small as to be difficult to draw correctly and is about 2/3 of a mile away.
