City blocks? Sweden has a scale model of the solar system that stretches across the entire country - north to south. And even then it isn’t actually big/long enough for the entire solar system.
- minitoar 6y agoDepends how small you’re willing to make the bodies. In Sweden the Sun is a huge spherical building.

- minitoar 6y agoIt could be made smaller without risking invisibility of any of the planets. The smallest planet is Mercury at 25cm.
- chrisco255 6y agoThe best view of the solar system I've experienced that could be incorporated into classroom learning is a VR tour. It not only shows you the relative distance really well, it also shows you the size of the planets relative to each other and you really get an intuitive sense of the massiveness of the sun (and other stars), for example.
