From Planetary Society Director of Projects Dr. Bruce Betts @RandomSpaceFact: A Random Space Fact for the end of the year, a scale solar system I calculated based on the human body as a scale. If the Sun is the size of a small piece of dandruff on the top of your head (0.4 mm), and Pluto is on the bottom of your foot (assume 6 feet tall) the entire inner solar system would be within your head, Jupiter at your chin, Saturn in the middle of your chest, Neptune at the top of your shin, and Uranus...well...where you would expect it...really.
