Description
The universe is a big place and we are very small. Take a look at the following video and interactive demonstration and post your thoughts.
Note that these are only scale models of the Size of our Sun and relative size of our solar system. There are a hundred billion Sun-like stars in our Milky way Galaxy, and billions of galaxies in the universe. Discuss.

Scale Model
1. The scale of the universe: The universe is so large that it is nearly impossible to put it down in
any imaginable map. Besides, it is composed of different objects of different sizes. The best way
to represent the information regarding the composition of the universe is by use of an appropriate
scale. However, the choice of scale depends on the objects under study. For instance, the study of
tiny objects such as atoms requires nanoscale. Consequently, studying the solar system will
require a more elaborate scale model that considers small details. Precision is another factor to
consider in the choice of a scale model for the above subject. When fine details are required,
more than o...
