  4. Free printable of chart with planet size measurements. I’ve included a free printable chart of the measurements in centimetres (British spelling!) and inches to draw the planets. These PDFs available in both Letter (US) and A4 (British) sizes. DOWNLOAD HERE -> How to draw planets of the solar system to scale (Letter)

  5. Although we could print the planet sizes to scale, the paper would need to be way too large to show the scaled distances. Instead, to help you understand the sizes and distances of our solar system, we’ve created a scale model. Our Solar System, real imagery but not to scale.

  6. Calculate using a spreadsheet: Download the Scale Size Calculator spreadsheet (XLSX or CSV). Choose the size (diameter) you want Earth to be in your model (for example 10 cm). Create a formula in your spreadsheet that will calculate the diameter of (distance across) each planet in centimeters.

  8. 1. How did the solar system scale we worked out and your original drawing match? How did they differ? 2. Why do you think the outer planets are so much farther apart than the inner planets? 3. Is there a correlation between planet size and how far it is from other planets?
