solar system model By JohnV

This web page has an imbedded calculator that will give you dimensions for parts of the solar system. You enter the size that you want the sun to be and the calculator figures the scale diameters of the planets and their orbits as well as other scale numbers.

I hope this helps you and that you have fun with it.

John
