Just to blow your mind, below are a series of true statements about sizes and distance scales in astronomy:
If the Earth were a 1-foot diameter globe (pretty standard), then the atmosphere would be only about as thick as a dollar bill
Earth's Moon is about 1/4 the size of Earth
Mars is about 1/2 the size of Earth
You could fit about 11 Earths across Jupiter
You could fit about 109 Earths across the diameter of the Sun
You could fit about 30 Earths between the Earth and the Moon
You could fit 107 Suns between Earth and the Sun, and that is 1 Astronomical Unit (AU)
Mars is 1.5 AU from the Sun
Jupiter is 5.2 AU from the Sun
Pluto is 39.5 AU from the Sun
The farthest comet probably gets to about 200,000 AU, which represents the outer edge of the solar system
The nearest star is about 268,774 AU from the Sun
The average distance to constellation stars is 25 million AU from the Sun
The distance to the center of the Milky Way galaxy is 1,644,268,080 AU from the Sun
The Milky Way galaxy is about 7,588,929,600 AU across
The distance to the nearest large galaxy, Andromeda galaxy, is 139,130,376,000 AU from the Sun
Which statement is true?
1.
Polaris (the North Star) is visible in the constellation Ursa Minor so it is inside the solar system
2.
The Sun is twice as far away from Earth as the Moon but the Sun is twice as large as the Moon
3.
Jupiter is bigger than Earth but about the same size as the Sun
4.
The Sun is bigger than planets but the distances between planets is much bigger than the Sun
5.
The solar system is the same size as the Milky Way galaxy
6.
Constellation stars are inside the solar system
7 .
The Sun is bigger than the solar system (which includes all the planets, moons, and comets)
8.
Jupiter is bigger than the Sun and Earth
9.
You could fit five Milky Way galaxies between our galaxy and its nearest biggest neighbor, Andromeda galaxy
