Imagine Earth as small as a peppercorn, that's about how big it would be if the whole universe was shrunk down to fit in your hand! If we made everything else smaller too, like stars and planets, you could see our whole solar system on one table. It’s a fun way to understand just how huge space really is!
Examples
- A spaceship traveling from Earth to Mars would be like moving just a few centimeters away from the peppercorn.
- The Moon, which is about 384,000 km away from us, would be only 1.5 meters away in this tiny model.
