I saw an amazing website a year or so ago that had comparisons of planets in our solar system and beyond. [Should have kept the link, but didn’t.]

It went from small to larger to even larger. Compared to the largest object, Earth was not even the size of a grain of sand.

It was rather intimidating to see the pix and see how tiny Earth and its inhabitants are in the overall scheme of things.

This was done out at the Black Rock Desert in northwestern NV, IIRC. This is where they have Burning Man every year as well as a couple of high power rocket launches where they can fly up to 200,000 feet.

I've seen several videos on solar system size/distant comparisons that were done really well. They've done the same comparisons to different classes of stars. They're really big and dwarf biggest planets. Amazing stuff. For example.
