Adding the other planets


The following table shows the data of each of the planets, in values relative to the earth (source: https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/factsheet/planet_table_ratio.html).

We will accurately scale the planets relative to the earth's size.

You can try to adjust their positions to be in line with the real distance from the sun. But as mentioned at the top of this chapter (as we saw with the earth and the moon), these distances are literally...
