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)—

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:
