Solar Sizer

You live on Earth, Sun is shining above. Ever wondered how big (or how small) our planet is compared to Sun or other planets? Have you ever tried to imagine what would be scaled Sun size if you squeezed the whole Solar System into your room? How far would Earth orbit Sun if Sun was the size of an orange?
Our app will help you get the feel of scales in our Solar System.

Keywords: astronomy, Sun, Earth, Moon, Solar System, size, distance, scale, scaled, diameter.

It's kept simple, and works great. I've tried fancy 3d planetariums, but none of them gives you the true and immediate understanding of the scale of the solar system that this one does. Some may ask for details, like masses and orbit times, but there are other apps for that. This app is complete.

So that's what "astronomical" distance means. Remember when Zaphod has to endure the machine that shows him his true relevance and position in the universe? This app is it's little cousin! See Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy for reference.

Please include with other things like asteroid belts etc. I like the app apart from its one absent memeber....!

This is actually a pretty cool app. It's quite simple, but is also informative. It could be improved by allowing users to drag the screen after a zoom

Good little app, very basic, wish it did a little more. Comparing our Sun with other stars for example.
