So Overstreet and his partner, Alex Gorosh, decided to build a model that would accurately represent what the solar system actually looks like.

Starting with an Earth the size of a marble, these folks built a full-scale model of our solar system across 7 miles of Nevada desert.

Still from "To Scale: The Solar System," a 7-minute video that shows the construction of a scale-model solar system in Nevada's Black Rock Desert.

Another way is to build a scale model in the real world. Real world solar system models can be found in lots of places, the one that inspired us was the Maine solar system model.

Accurate scale model of the solar system built in a dry lakebed is simply incredible This will change the way you picture our solar system forever.

A still image from a video produced by the To Scale Series shows a model of the solar system in which planets orbit the sun on a dry lakebed in Nevada.

Get your scrolling hand ready. An interactive web page has created a scale model of the solar system, where the moon is the size of just one pixel.
