  • The diagram is not to scale because the distances between the planets is enormous. For example, Jupiter is 5x further from the Sun than the Earth and Neptune is 30x further than the Earth.
  • The diagram is not to scale because the distances between the planets is accurate. But the size of the planets is incorrect. For example The Earth is much larger than the Jupiter.
  • Between the Sun and the orbit of Mercury
  • Between the orbits of the Earth and Mars
  • Beyond the orbit of Neptune
  • Pluto
  • Ion
