I thought this was a cool blender animation.

It's all the major moons and planets of our Solar System in scale to one another.

For KSP reference, Kerbin is about the size of Eris (give or take a itty bitty bit).

NIce... Would be kewl if someone replicated that for KSP's Kerbol system...

Here's another one, comparing our planets, then stars.

Our sun is literally a dwarf in the grand scheme of things.

Here's a flash thingy in the same vein:  http://htwins.net/scale2/

I saw an error. Phobos and Deimos sizes are all wrong. They're tiny asteroids, not huge lumps as shown in the video.

And they show Earth as being tiny compared to Uranus or Neptune. It's actually similar to the comparison between Earth and Moon.

Well, you wouldn't be able to see them if they were scale, eh? The video producers probably wanted to show what they looked like.

Yeah, they showed that. Uranus and Neptune are about 4X the size of Earth, and the Earth is about 4X the size of the moon. It may not be spot-on, but close enough.

-EDIT- I double checked it, yeah the animation is out a bit. Oh well. It's just a video.

If the point is to show stuff to scale, then it's wrong.

But yeah, they wouldn't be visible at such poor resolution. This is to scale.
