Is this scale model accurate to relative sizes of the bodies, or only distance? That's something I've not been able to find out.

- Gare 3y agoBoth, that's the whole point of these models. Also size compared to the distance is true to scale.

That's not really a meaningful measurement as the corona could extend anywhere from a few hundred thousand to a few million kilometres. If the Avicii Arena represented a more normal measurement of the sun, the rest of the planets should be ~50% greater in diameter and ~50% further dispersed. Sweden would still have room!
