This interactive Earth–Venus distance scale model shows Earth (left) and Venus (right) at true relative size, and the range of their distance. Adjust Venus’s diameter in pixels; Earth scales automatically.
Interactive scale models that let you explore real astronomical distances and object sizes.
Adjust the Venus’s diameter (in pixels). The other body size and the distance update live using real ratios. Drag to pan, or scroll to move around.
Tip: Large Venus sizes make the bodies and distance enormous — use the jump buttons.
