Scaling the Solar System

-If the solar system was the length of Powell's hallway, and her room was the sun the earth would only be 3 ft from her door and Neptune would be my Jared's room. I beleive this because I used a scale of 150 ft(length of hallway) for the solar system and then figured out where the planets would be.

-If you were 3 years old on Neptune you would be 495.7 years old on Earth. It takes that much longer for Neptune to travel around the sun then Earth because it is so much further from the sun.

-if you weighed 200lbs on earth, you would weigh 225lbs on Neptune. You would the most on the planet Jupiter where you weigh 472.8lbs. It matters because the planets weigh different amounts and the heavier the planet the more gravitational pole it has on you.
