Scale Mod

It can be difficult to appreciate the relationships of large objects such as earth. How does using a scale mod?

You can look at a scaled diagram of the Solar System in your book, and say, "Oooh, gee, that's boring." But if you inflate it (at scale) so that the distance from the Sun to Mercury is the length of a football field, and Earth is on the other side of the city, and Neptune is in the next county... that helps illustrate it.

Of course, if you scale if up *too big* then you'll just shoot yourself in the foot. We puny humans have a very narrow range of really comprehending distances. I personally can't comprehend how small an Angstrom is. Further, I cannot truly comprehend the huge distances between the Milky Way, the Large Magellanic Cloud, and the Andromeda Galaxy.

So in scaling, you need to be careful.
