\nThe planets are scaled relative to each other in each of these scales, but not relative to the Astronomical Unit distance scale between them.
\nBTW – The Sun is not shown, since at that planetary scale it is actually bigger than the frame of the animation \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
The time scale goes from last year to next year. It changes from linear around this weekend (0s) and goes exponential on the outer orbits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
