Here’s some useless trivia to give you an idea how big space is.


Even the size of our solar system can’t really be modeled accurately If the planets are sized so you can see them Pluto and Neptune are miles away.

It's fun to play around with different sizes over here:

Solar System Scale Model Calculator

Give the sun a diameter of 10", or about the size of a basketball, and Pluto is the size of a grain of sand and 3500 miles away.
