Solar System

This is just a simple version. It require a lot more work to do this right.

Diameters & Distances

I found a nice table with a good summary of the planets here. I rescaled everything though, so I can see the different planets together. I divided the planet's diameter by Earth's radius. I also applied a cubic root to the distance to make them more linear. The result can be seen in this table:

Planet	Diameter	Distance	New Radius	New Distance
Sun	1391900	0	109.24	0.00
Mercury	4866	57950000	0.38	386.98
Venus	12106	108110000	0.95	476.38
Earth	12742	149570000	1.00	530.82
Mars	6760	227840000	0.53	610.77
Jupiter	139516	778140000	10.95	919.78
Saturn	116438	1427000000	9.14	1125.83
Uranus	46940	2870300000	3.68	1421.16
Neptune	45432	4499900000	3.57	1650.95
Pluto	2274	5913000000	0.18	1808.30
Moon	3500	384000	0.27	72.68

The Textures

I found some textures here. I scaled some of them, so the resolution is always 1024 × 512.
