Summary

Description
English: This image is unique in that it shows both the sizes and distances of the Solar System to scale.

It shows that if the Sun-Neptune distance of the Solar System were scaled down to the 100-yard length of a football field (goal line to goal line span, roughly 13 meters shorter than a standard soccer, or Association football field), then the Sun and eight planets would be small enough to hold in the palm of a person's hand.

For full description, see primary image here, with inset and markings.
