Planets and Sun with scale
Planets and the Sun next to a scale, artwork. The planets of our solar system have been drawn to scale and placed next to each other on a grid. One small division of the grid represents 10, 000 kilometres. The eight planets are shown, with their moons, in order of their distance from the Sun (top). From left to right they are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The distances shown between them, and their orientation, are not accurate. In August 2006, Pluto (not shown) became a Dwarf planet. The Sun contains 99.9% of the mass of the solar system

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Planets and Sun with scale" takes us on a visual journey through our solar system. The artwork showcases the eight planets, along with their moons, arranged in order of their distance from the Sun. Each planet has been meticulously drawn to scale and placed next to each other on a grid, where one small division represents 10,000 kilometers. As we gaze upon this stunning illustration, we are reminded of the vastness and diversity of our celestial neighborhood. From the rocky terrestrial planets like Mercury and Venus to the gas giants such as Jupiter and Saturn with their magnificent rings, every planetary body is represented here. Although the distances shown between them are not accurate in this artwork, it serves as a reminder that space is truly an awe-inspiring frontier yet to be fully explored. It's worth noting that Pluto (not shown) was reclassified as a Dwarf planet in August 2006 due to new scientific understanding. The centerpiece of this composition is undoubtedly our radiant Sun, which contains an astonishing 99.9% of the mass within our entire solar system. Its brilliance illuminates all these celestial bodies and reminds us of its vital role in sustaining life on Earth. Through this remarkable computer artwork by Science Photo Library, we gain a deeper appreciation for the wonders of planetary science and humanity's ongoing quest for knowledge about our place in the universe.
