Of course, you can draw anything you want, including the solar system. But how to convey reliability in such a figure without violating the scale - that is the question. The fact is that the planets, if you compare them with the distances that separate them, are negligible. And all that we are able to do when drawing the solar system is to display the comparative sizes of the Sun and the planets.
Instructions
Step 1
If you choose a scale where fifteen thousand kilometers equals one millimeter, which is the best option, you get the following. Our Earth in this figure will be in the form of a pinhead, that is, its diameter will be somewhere around one millimeter. The moon, the natural satellite of the Earth, in this case is just a grain, which will be about a quarter of a millimeter. In the picture from the Earth, it will be located three centimeters according to the selected scale.
Step 2
Make the size of the Sun equal to ten centimeters. And between the Earth and the Sun, display two more planets: in the form of a grain of Mercury, at a distance of four centimeters from the Sun and the pinhead of Venus, which will be located seven centimeters from the main luminary.
Step 3
There are more points on the other side of the Earth. This is Mars, whose diameter in the figure will be equal to half a millimeter, and from the Sun it will be at a distance of sixteen centimeters. Mars also has two satellites, which on the accepted scale can only be depicted as points. Do not forget about asteroids - minor planets that circle between Jupiter and Mars. There are more than one and a half thousand of them today. In the figure, they will be located at a distance of 28 centimeters from the Sun, and by their size they will also be presented in the form of multi-colored dots.
Step 4
The next planet is Jupiter. It will be located 52 centimeters from the Sun, and its size will be one centimeter. Twelve of its satellites circle around it, four of which are located at a distance of three, four, seven and twelve millimeters from Jupiter itself. The dimensions of the largest satellites in the figure will correspond to half a millimeter. The rest will again have to be represented as dots. The most distant satellite, IX, should be placed two centimeters from Jupiter.
Step 5
As for Saturn, it must be positioned according to the chosen scale, away from the Sun. Its dimensions will be eight millimeters. Next, draw the rings of Saturn four millimeters wide at a distance of one millimeter from the surface of this planet. And nine satellites in the form of grains, which are scattered around Saturn. Then Uranus. It will be the size of a pea, three millimeters in diameter, and its five satellite dust particles, scattered four centimeters from Uranus.
Step 6
In the far corner from the central luminary in the figure, Neptune will be located in the form of a pea with its two satellites, the first of which is Triton three centimeters from the planet, and the second, Nereid, seven centimeters. And finally, Pluto, whose distance to the Sun should be the greatest.
