The Solar System

The Sun, the planets, the dwarf planets and their moons where they really are right now, calculated from NASA JPL orbital data. Everything is drawn to true size and distance, so from out here the planets are far too small to see: the dots show where they are. Drag to turn, scroll over a planet to dive into its rings and moons, right-drag to pan.

Planets, moons, the Sun and every distance are to true scale. Double-click a name to fly there; click empty space to close a card.
