The Moon is 250,000 miles on average from the Earth. Hard to imagine, but how much harder to imagine the distances of the planets from the Sun? It's incredulous!
In the photos, the Sun is represented by a fiery orange sphere, the Earth by a globe, and the other planets by marbles and pool balls. The planets are not to scale but the distances are.
The tape measure is 5 metres long, and Pluto is off the scale!
I'm including Pluto because this is a NO-BULLY-PLUTO blog!
The second photo shows the view from Pluto, the exposure makes it look a wild and lonely place.
