Solar system model

HOW


• The model of a section of the Solar System has been made according to scale between the diameters of the celestial bodies and the distances between them.
• It is reduced in size from its actual size by about 3.3 billion times.
• Models of the Sun and the planets of the Solar System are placed on stone pedestals along the alley: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.
• You will find a model of the next planet, Jupiter, on a hill near the northern boundary of the Experimental Garden.
• The models of the other planets did not fit in the Garden area. If you wanted to place them, Saturn should be halfway between the Sun model and Jana Pawła II Avenue, Uranus at Jana Pawła II Avenue, and Neptune at the intersection of Ugorek and Ułanów streets. The closest stellar system to us with a star of similar size to the Sun (Alpha Centauri) would be located… in Hawaii, after passing through the North Pole.
