Sun Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune
At a large desk or on the floor, choose a position to represent the Sun, and place Mercury a few inches from it. Predict the relative distances between each of the other planets, and space them out accordingly. Do you think the average distances between each of the planets stays relatively consistent or varies greatly? What leads you to this conclusion?

Assuming we are to perform this model to scale, with accurate and reliable data, we can conclude that the average distance between each of the planets would increase as we go.

Most science projects which involve creating a model of the solar system place each planet in perfect orbits at equal distances from one another. Accurate scientific data tells us that this is not the case.

The position of the planets in our solar system follow two trends:

  • Not all planets have perfectly circular orbits, and therefore are not always at the same distance
  • The spacing between planets grows as we get further from the sun.

The distance from the sun weakens the effects of the Sun's gravity on the planets, causing them to be further apart as well as causing increasingly erratic orbits. This leads us to the conclusion that the average distance between planets varies greatly.
