Solar system scale

[esper.knight]

Is the solar system "mini game" to scale?

lol. no. super duper no. If our moon was only the size of one pixlel, the sun would be 3474.8 kilometers away.

You're right and thanks for the awesome resource. I wonder if there are still some proportions in this game, which are accurate. E.g. planet sizes might be correct relative to each other and the sun. At least they look roughly as I expect them based on quick googling of diameters. Distance between different orbits might hold some truth as well, but it is a moot topic since mercury orbit might be based on distance-to-sun-surface rather than distance-to-center which is understandable with chosen sun size.

Sizes are correct in relation to each other distance not. Isn’t there a note besides the orb which exactly states this?

Another question about the solar system:

If you throw all planets into the sun, and it collapse to a white dwarf, can it get further to a black hole? Couldnt figure it out
