Solar System to Scale Sun is scaled one meter (39") in diameter Actual Size of Sun: 1,391,000 km (864,000 mi) AU (“Astronomical Unit”) is the average distance between the Sun and Earth: 150 million km (93 million mi) A little more than 100 Sun diameters will span the distance of one AU Neptune Actual Size: 49,500 km (30,800 mi) diameter
On page 3 is a table which gives the sizes of the planets and the distances between them. It also gives those distances scaled down so that 1000 000 km is represented by 5 cm. On pages 4&5 are representations of the planets which you can print out to this scale. It might be a good idea to laminate them if you want to use them more than once.
Create a foldable, pocket-sized scaled portrait of the Sun and planets. Mark/fold the strip of paper every 10 cm to create 10 even sections. Starting with the third section, label each section with the name of one of the eight planets (in order). See the illustration at the top of the page.
scale and how good a way to show the vast distances among the planets is to make a scale model that is smaller than the actual size of the solar system. Talk about the planets with the kids. Step 1: Identify the planets Ask kids: Can they can name all the planets in the solar system?
Use your large parks to create a TRULY scale model Solar System in both size AND scale, something practically impossible in any other venue. It can be elaborate, like in the above picture from the Peoria Riverfront Museum in IL, or just print out the NASA "Planets to Scale PDF," and find some space.

Paper Planets - Solar System Scope
Scale of Planets: you can print your planet on any paper format, but be sure to check the “fit” options in printing dialog. A planet printed on A4 format will have diameter of about 7cm (2.8inch), A3 format will result in a diameter of about 10cm (4inch)
