Planet House

So! If the earth was the size of our house, and our street was the center of the Solar System, how far away would the earth be? And how big and far away would other Solar System objects be?

Answer (assuming your house is a 12 meter tall three-story condo, and assuming average orbit radii)—

Object Diameter Orbit distance
Sun 1.3km 0m
Jupiter 128m 714.8km
Saturn 107m 1,310.1km
Uranus 46.6m 2,636.2km
Neptune 45.2m 4,130.4km
Earth 11.7m 137.4km
Venus 11.1m 99.4km
Mars 6.22m 209.3km
Ganymede (Jupiter III) 4.84m 983m
Titan (Saturn VI) 4.72m 1.1km
Mercury 4.48m 53.2km
Callisto (Jupiter IV) 4.43m 1.7km
Io (Jupiter I) 3.35m 387m
Moon (Luna) 3.19m 353m
Europa (Jupiter II) 2.87m 616m
Triton (Neptune I) 2.49m 326m
Pluto 2.19m 5,423.4km
Eris 2.14m 9,295.2km
Titania (Uranus III) 1.45m 400m
Haumea 1.4m 5,952.7km
Rhea (Saturn V) 1.4m 484m
Oberon (Uranus IV) 1.4m 536m
Iapetus (Saturn VIII) 1.35m 3.3km
Makemake 1.31m 6,290.2km
Ceres 0.868m 379.9km

Map

This is an azimuthal equidistant projection centered (close to) our street. So you can see that on average, with the center of the Solar System in New Jersey, USA, Jupiter's average orbit would take it through Ohio, and Eris' average orbit would take it through Argentina, Egypt, almost to Hokkaido!

You can move the center of the Solar System to your street using the controls below:
