    Here are scaled distances (in meters):
    1)Mercury- 6.9 (7 big steps)
    2)Venus- 12.8 (13 big steps)

    See the sources for instructions and other information on building a scale model solar system.
    If the Sun was a 10 inch basketball, Earth would be a 1/10 inch pinhead 90 feet away for example.
