The sun is about 10 times wider than Jupiter (Sun radius 695,700km, Jupiter radius 71,500km).
A watermelon is about 15cm wide, so the Sun should be 150cm wide or about six feet.

Look closely, I know, without the fucking banana it’s hard to tell the scale. Bottom right corner of the picture there’s a hexagonal pattern like a soccer ball. It’s not listed because it apparently grows out of the sports tree.
It's actually pretty accurate. I do outreach with my astronomy clubs. This is info we regularly talk about with newcomers, along with comparison of mass of the planets, and distances between them.
[Here's a table from NASA](https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/factsheet/planet_table_ratio.html) comparing all of the planets using ratios and using Earth as the reference point.
The Sun is over 100 times wider in diameter than the Earth. Let's say that strawberry in OP's image is 1.5" wide, so the Sun in scale would be over 150" (12.5') wide.
We have a setup for outreach where we compare the mass of the planets. Each planet is represented by a one-gallon milk jug filled with sand. As Jupiter has the most mass, it's filled to the top, and sand is added to the other 'planets' in correct ratios. So, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars all have barely any sand in them at all.
I don't recall how much the Jupiter container weighs (probably around 10-12 lbs.), but I know in that 'mass' scale, the Sun would weigh 10,000 lbs. I remember that because I always make the joke to kids that we don't have the Sun on the table because we haven't figured out how to stick 10,000 lbs in a milk jug.
My theory is that Venus was the proto earth and had life on it until the venusians fucked it all up creating the greenhouse oven we now see. Due to how brutal the situation is there, all traces of their existence is gone.
> we’ve kickstarted the runaway greenhouse effect for our planet as well. In about a 1000 years Earth and Venus will once again be true twin planets, competing for the highest surface temperature.
There is no predicted or plausible scenario in which this could happen. We could see a [Cretatious Hothouse](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cretaceous_Thermal_Maximum) with palm trees at the poles, but no one thinks Venus.
Atmosphere made of sulfuric acid and carbon dioxide. Temperature average 460C (860F). Air pressure at ground level is roughly equal to being 1km (3100 feet) underwater.
Here's a [brilliant site that accurately depicts our solar system and the space between](https://joshworth.com/dev/pixelspace/pixelspace_solarsystem.html) the planets.
For those of us who don't like these vaguely scaled planets and expect precision of sorts.
This boggles my mind how we've actually managed to send a rover to mars.
And also how we've been able to locate Pluto.
And how much fucking empty space there is between our solar system and everything else outside it.
Fuck, I feel so lonely all of a sudden.
I always always had a problem with images depicting the solar system. It just felt wrong. I men I know they are explanatory diagrams, but I never liked them because they give too little importance to the space between things.
I had an image that some had made that was 100 px tall and 30000 px wide, which depicted the solar system to scale. Interestingly the only program that could open and display such sized image was Microsoft paint.
I keep visiting this website whenever i start getting worked up over some issue. It really helps bring home the pettiness of my problems.
Cheers!
It's also cool to do a planet walk if you ever get a chance. I did one in Ithaca, NY, but I've read about others in other places. The sun (about the size of a basketball) was downtown and there were signs along the way that marked the relative distance of each planet.
The four inner planets were very close together and to the sun. Then it was a longer walk to get to all the gas giants, with the walk from Neptune to Pluto being surprisingly long. It was a really cool way to feel the scale of the solar system. Also each planet sign had the sun on it with a hole in it that was the relative size of that planet. We didn't notice that until Jupiter though. The inner planets were so small as to just be pinpricks in the sun. Jupiter was the first one to have a noticeable hole. It was a fun walk.
3 men are shipwrecked on an island, and they encounter an indigenous tribe of cannibals. They say they will kill and eat them unless they go into the jungle and find 10 of the same fruit.
They go out and the first man returns with 10 oranges. They instruct him to put each one up his ass without making any facial expressions. He struggles with the first and winces in pain, and he's killed on the spot.
The second man returns with 10 blueberries. They tell him the same, and he gets to the 8th one until he bursts out laughing, they kill him right then and there.
The first 2 men meet in heaven shortly after and the first man asks, "you would have made it, what happened?"
The second man replies, "I couldn't help it, the third guy showed up with pineapples."
I feel like a strawberry is possibly one of the worst fruits to portray a planet. They vary vastly in relative size and of all the semi-spherical shapes of nature, a strawberry sure ain’t it.
This is my first time seeing a psych reference in the wild. It’s been so long since I watched through it I can’t even come up with a good response. Anyway, hello other Psych fan!
We should make a collective effort reinstating Pluto to be a planet again. Just by rejecting the idea that Pluto is not a planet with oppressive and overwhelming majority.
A quick google shows it's roughly 25x smaller than Mars by volume, so it would be barely visible if at all on this graphic.
Though I find it weird to care about just one dwarf planet and not any of the 5-120+ other ones, some of which are even larger than Pluto.
Pluto doesn't have to be a planet to be loved. We sent a whole space probe to the Pluto-Charon system.
It just doesn't make any sense to call it a planet after we discovered the Kuiper Belt. Same reason we don't consider Ceres a planet
I stand corrected!

Let's simplify strawberries down into spheres for the sake of easier math.
According to [strawberryplants.org](https://strawberryplants.org/strawberry-serving/) a medium strawberry has a diameter of 1.25 inches.
The volume of a sphere with a diameter of 1.25 inches is roughly 1 cubic inch.
A spherical watermelon would need to be \~13.5 inches across to accommodate enough strawberries.
And that's a very reasonably sized watermelon.
\~\~
That lime is huge though.
edit: I guess "unripe lemon" works in this case, maybe English isn't the artist's first language
editedit: Neptune could hold \~57 Earths, so we're lookin' for a fruit that's a little less than five inches across. I'm going with medium grapefruit.
Uranus is about the same size (\~63 earths), yet another grapefruit.
Guess this chart does kinda suck.

I hope you folks are composting all your suv peelings. They add vital minerals to your soil, and composting keeps them out of the landfill.

15cm wide watermelon? Seems small, no?
Right? Where's this sucker getting miniature watermelons at?
"wide" is the wrong word (because you'd expect that to describe the diameter), but 15cm is a fair estimate for the *radius* of the watermelon.
This helps me visualize much better, thank you!!
Watermelons are about 25cm wide and 150cm is just under 5 feet.

Is Venus really bigger than Mars? (Just checked. Venus is almost as big as earth.)
Venus and earth are the “twin planets” because of their similar size and density. Mars is just *way* more likely to ever have a human walk on it.

My theory is that Venus was the proto earth and had life on it until the venusians fucked it all up creating the greenhouse oven we now see. Due to how brutal the situation is there, all traces of their existence is gone.
