So Overstreet and his partner, Alex Gorosh, decided to build a model that would accurately represent what the solar system actually looks like.

Starting with an Earth the size of a marble, these folks built a full-scale model of our solar system across 7 miles of Nevada desert.

Their first project, To Scale: The Solar System, spanned seven miles in a dry lakebed in the Nevada desert in 2015.

Those proportions are kept honest in the scale model, in which an Earth that's only the size of a small marble calls for a solar system that's 7 miles wide.
