Overview
How do we understand the huge sizes and distances of space objects? Creating scale models can help. This lets us shrink down the solar system to an easy-to-understand level.
How big is the Sun compared to Earth? How far apart are these objects in space? Imagine the Sun is the size of a basketball at one end of a basketball court. Then Earth would be the size of a sesame seed at the opposite end of the court! This book makes the huge sizes and distances of planets, moons, and stars understandable by comparing space objects to things we know on Earth and using scale models. Prepare to be amazed!
