Distances in space are huge, but it’s difficult to visualise just how far things are away, so I thought I’d have a go at showing how far away the nearest star to the Sun is, by creating a scale model, shrinking the Sun down to the size of a golf ball. The scale is roughly 33 billion:1.
All distances shown are straight line distances from my start location just south of Manchester in England. The actual distance travelled is larger. The nearest star is actually quite some distance away! And this is just the nearest star - some of the visible stars are many hundreds of times further and the centre of our own galaxy is 7,000 times further away just for starters.
