So we can find the ratio of the planet's size to the Sun's size and multiply this by 160 to produce its scaled size in m. We list the distances in million km. These distances must be divided by 9 million to give the scaled distance. For instance, Mercury's distance is 58 million km, which divided by 9 million gives 6.6 km. Since we are used to measuring distances in miles, this distance is then divided by 1.6 to produce the scaled distance in miles.
