A visual comparison that helps, without absolute numbers, understand how small our planet Earth is.
In the first model, the largest object is the Sun. Some of the planets of the Solar System are set against the background of the sun.
The earth is on the far right.
This is the scale of the Earth relative to the Sun and its neighbors.
On another model, there is another discovery.
The size of our "huge" Sun relative to some of the other Stars in the universe known to us.
The sun is on the far left, below.
This is the theory of relativity.
