This interactive Earth–Mars distance scale model shows Earth (left) and Mars (right) at true relative size, and the range of their distance. Adjust Mars’s diameter in pixels; Earth scales automatically.
Interactive scale models that let you explore real astronomical distances and object sizes.
Adjust the Mars’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 Mars sizes make the bodies and distance enormous — use the jump buttons.
