The Sizes of the Planets

"defiantly" HaHa, or did you mean it that way instead of definitely?

There are some Christians who claim that since the Bible does not mention ET's per say, those of us
with theology degrees accept that God made other -out of this world beings- ( angels and living creatures )
that there no reason at all to think that there isn't many other races on many other planets.

Even though one could argue that God likes beauty too, and he made the universe so big so as to prove his power
and divineness, He also instilled logic into the universe. To accept that logic is to accept the mathematical probability
that in the 200 billion galaxies that we know of, there are others.

Need to correct that, it's 2 Trillion galaxies we now know of.

'DeskSpace' is a 3-D model of our solar system created with polished gemstones representing the sun and each of the nine planets, all sized to scale and polished to a mirror finish.

The sun, made of golden Calcite is a Solar Mood Lamp that sits on a lighted pedestal which makes it glow (powered by USB). The nine planets of the solar system, each made of a different material to match their actual appearance, sit in their own anodized aluminum base.

Ummm, those are not scaled to size.

 

Indeed. The writer got carried away there - the sun would be too big to fit in an office !



But to be fair, they are sized relative to each other.

 

They are sized by smallest to biggest, I see what you relatively, but even they are not to scale, if the Earth
was at scale, the sun in the set would be Uranus.
Pretty neat set to have though.

 

Two of my favorite videos about planets, space, and all of that.
