Page 1 of 4 How Small We Really AreThese computer generated images illustrate the scale of the Solar System. Unbelievable computer-rendered images which illustrate how our solar system looks. If you think the Sun is huge, do not miss the last picture and see Betelgeuse. Basically it's models of the stars in our solar system that give a sense of perspective. We have found images generated with 3DMax that perfectly illustrate the scale of the main celestial bodies of our Solar System. We connected with three didactic images that will be enough to get an idea of the tiny thing that it is our world.
Really our star seems (it is) enormous if we compared it with the planets that orbit it, but I would like to add a last image so that you become an idea of the size relative of our star in comparison to the one of other well-known stars. The sun (SUN) appears in the left superior corner. Like curiosity, one thinks that Betelgeuse (also well-known by Alpha Orionis) that belongs to the type of the red super-giant (variable semiregular) and that in the hypothetical figure of the mythical hunter (to see constellation of Orion) delimits its right shoulder, it has at least a size that would be equivalent to the Mars orbit. When being in expansion process, it is probable that its maximum diameter gets to be equivalent to the Jupiter orbit. | ||||||
