To help us visualize the distances between the objects of our Solar System, let's build a scale model in a virtual city so we can get a better sense of the scales and distances between the planets, as well as the distance to the nearest star! There have been a few fun examples of scale Solar System models on YouTube but I haven't seen any that can clearly show the distances between the outermost planets and the sun. We'll start in a football stadium which will contain the Sun and four inner-most planets then venture out into the city to find scale versions of the remaining planets (and dwarf planet Pluto). Wait until you see how far away the nearest star is!
